Narok County is unlike any other part of Kenya, according to people we met with this week. It is made up of the Masai Tribe, who have a rich tradition and culture with deep roots in raising beef cattle. Many own 50+ acres of land and could have up to 400 cows. We had some very good meetings and are being to see how the work of DML, through the church in Narok County, could work towards a holistic plan toward a quadruple bottom line.
It was also a week of lots and lots of water. The rains should have stopped a while ago but it rained almost every day we were there. The last night it rained a lot and we were driving on a dirt road that stretched about 30 kilometers. On the way in, it took us about 2.5 hours to drive that distance. On the way out, after all the rain, it took us 3.5 hours. We only got stuck three times and had the fun of driving over a bridge that was underwater (see picture).The Masai Mara is an incredibly beautiful land as well and is very well known for its amazing animals. We were blessed to be able to see some of them this past week as well.
Beautiful people, beautiful land, beautiful culture, and beautiful traditions.
A creative God, infinite yet detailed, global yet personal, merciful yet just.
So blessed to be known by Him and loved by Him!
