Last week on the way to the Tanzanian border we spent just over a day in Lunga Lunga catching up with my friend, Javan. I have known Javan for nearing 6 years now, having first met at a missions centre near Garissa, Kenya. About a year ago he moved to just outside Lunga Lunga (ie very rural, quite a shock for him coming from Nairobi!) with the aim of helping and supporting people there, especially the youth. When we visited I got the chance to see how remarkably well he has done already - he (with some friends) has built from scratch a main building where he stays, plus an outdoor shelter and another building for holding youth gatherings. His vision is to empower young people principally through a discipleship and retreat centre. One of the next projects he is hoping to undertake is building a community library. So if you pray, please also say a prayer for Javan and his ministry in Lunga Lunga.
It was lovely to see Javan again, meet his church friends/family and his motorbike buddies who were great at giving us lifts between houses!
