Always be prepared!!

Today I went to the school to celebrate the graduation of some of my 8th grade boys. Most of them come to Sunday school. There were 22 of them in all. While I was there the EO (Educational Officer) ask me to come sit with him, so I did. The EO waved at someone to come over to him. I noticed the man had the Itinerary for the day in his hand. As I was watching I saw him mark out 2 churches that was listed on the paper and write A.I.C( That's us here in Kenya) I thought hmmm that is interesting. Then he leaned over and said Travis we want you to get up and speak for 5 minutes. Congratulate the kids and encourage the parents. WOW! I was shocked and was thinking what was I going to say and two minutes later they welcomed me up. Not much preparation time there. There was over 200 adults and 600 kids there. What a platform the Lord had given. I was able to talk to them about what we had been talking about in Sunday school and that was our walk in life and our walk with Christ. In the end I told everyone that one day we will die and the only thing that will matter is Christ, and how we have walked with Him. I also told the boys that I was going to miss them greatly. I did not realize they would be leaving so quickly. They will be gone next week:( We don't have a high school here so they will spread over the country side to different high schools. Maybe it was just being nice but I had an applause when I sat down. Pray the Lord will penetrate the people's hearts here and that opportunities like this one today will continue. Sorry we don't have any pics of the situation but Laura was home making a B-day cake for Savannah to tear into on her first birthday.
