Easter in Ngong Hills

This morning we celebrated Easter in the Ngong Hills, not far from the university.  As the fog rolled in around us, we watched the ghostly shapes of Masai women moving by us, headed towards the water supply, who like women since biblical times must start their day before the sun in order to meet the demands of family and home.  We sang, read, prayed and testified to one another, our little group of four, as we watched the gray dawn. But it was the Masai women who bore witness to Easter for me.  Because he lives we do not just sing. There is new work to be done.  As the father sent him, so sends he us. This is a day of miracle and wonder but it is not only that.  Easter is God's recruitment video.
