First day of conference

The conference went very well today. We had 38 Kenyan attendees which was more than expected. No one got up and left so I think it was well received. 




I had the opportunity to share from 1 Cor 9:24-27, which also inspired by the blog title, (shout out to my wife for that one.) Many will make immeasurable sacrifices for a perishable crown but sacrifice little to gain an eternal crown. Christ made the greatest sacrifice by paying the cost of our sin through his death and resurrection so that we could gain that eternal crown. All we have to do is believe. 

Our primary mission in Kenya is to transform hearts and to strengthen those who have already been transformed. Sports Medicine has been the vehicle to carry that message. 


Lunch after the conference 

This evening we met with Pastor Oliver and heard his passion for his community. He shared from Luke 10...the harvest is ripe but the laborers are few. Pray for the laborers. We prayed for God to equip him to meet the needs of his congregation and community.

I will meet with the county governer tomorrow about the next steps for developing sports medicine training and services in this region. I am humbled by the connections that have been made this week. God has ordained all of these interactions.
