He also served as our interpreter. I did not know we would need an interpreter because English is the official language of Kenya. Having met several Kenyans here in the States, including Joseph, who spoke fluent English, I assumed most Kenyans spoke English. But, this is not true. Swahili is also a national language, but the various tribes mostly use tribal languages.
Ethnicity is alive and well among the people of Kenya.
There is also a lot of bias and intolerance among the tribes. But, among those who are converted there is more tolerance. Thursday morning in Nairobi we had the opportunity to meet with Steven Karuga Kariuki and Philemon Mguera, leaders of a fellowship group in Nairobi who left WCG and have not joined any other hierarchical organization. We had a wonderful visit with them and I believe there is a like-mindedness. We plan to stay in contact with them.
