Kenya West Global Mission Team

<p class="newsc">"Hakuna Mungu Kama Wewe." Swahili words that translate in 
English to "There's no one, there's no one like Jesus" indeed was the song of 
praise that the Kenya West Global Mission Team (GMT) proclaimed as their 
testimony in April, as they partnered with local Salvationists to complete a 
variety of projects. Ten Central Territory Salvationists traveled to the city 
of Kakamega and immersed themselves in the life, work and culture of West 
Kenya. Their ministry included building and installing a roof, many, many 
painting projects, worship ministry and most importantly, relationship-building 
with the kind and friendly people of the Kenya West Territory. They quickly 
understood why Commissioner William Roberts, Territorial Commander, loves to 
exclaim "Kenya West is the best!" as they enjoyed the joy and hospitality of 
the region at every turn.</p>

tea each day, and sometimes several times a day! Tea, water, coffee, biscuits, 
popcorn, eggs, mangos, peanuts and the list goes on-these were served by 
gracious hosts to the team as they took breaks from the day's work. Providing 
such a feast often came at a cost to the various corps, yet they would have it 
no other way. Slowing down to take the tea break was new to the team, but they 
quickly came to love the time of fellowship, and returned home reminded that 
relationships require taking the time to develop, time that having tea allows! 
Seeing the Salvationists' support of each other and their corps through work 
and worship, an all day funeral service that involved hundreds from the 
community, teaching children songs and dance, and much more, provided many 
lessons&nbsp; for the Global Mission Team, and they left Kenya feeling closer 
to their great and glorious Lord. Lesson learned:&nbsp; Hakuna Mungu Kama 
Wewe!</p>
