Beyond (Kenya Report Pt.2)

1st September 2006, Singapore - Kenya has narrowly edged out Australia. And it's not in the prestigious world athletics championships. Sure! The Kenyans would out-run and out-last the Aussies but that wouldn't be by a narrow margin would it? So what has Kenya pipped Australia to? It overthrew Oz as THE nation the editor would most like to revisit. August 2007? Only God knows when it'll happen for him.

Beyond the dry, parched land, the outpouring of love & hospitality shown by the brethren was refreshing.
Beyond the subsistence living and what little they had, their abundance was found in the assurance of God's love and care.
Beyond the uncertainty of the next rainfall, their faith that their Heavenly Father would provide in His time was steadfast.
Beyond the seemingly 'needful' engine-driven modes of transportation, they never murmured about long walks on dusty tracks to church.
Beyond the isolation, distanced from the world, there was quiet trust and fellowship with Christ.
Beyond esteemed educational systems, they lived the way they knew how.
Beyond the manuals and menus, they knew how to 'drive' the ass and cattle to the waters and wells.
Beyond the sea, they're just like you and me.
Beyond ourselves, how far do we see?
Beyond ourselves, how much do we share?
Beyond ourselves, how great is our God.
Beyond ourselves, let us see that we share our God to those beyond our land.
