After settling in our tight quarters (John on the sofa,
Kendra in a cramped room with three other women, and Mary and I in a small room
with two single beds) we walked down the steep hill to a nice Indian restaurant
for lunch.
The entire team of 15-20 from Redeemer Church joined us. It was a bright
sunny afternoon and we ate out on the terrace. It felt a lot like any sunny day
back in the states.
Kendra was opposite of us and Mary asked her about herself.
She without hesitation told us about her journey and how God took her from the
relative safety and security of a lucrative law practice back in Virginia to a call to full-time
missions work.
We were blown away to say the least.
I was also very impressed by the entire team, how relaxed
they were, how easy they got along and interacted. Kirk Alexander was the lead
pastor. An imposing big man with a career in the Navy before a calling to the
ministry, he also was relaxed and easy to talk too.
