So imagine that Steinmann's church decided to have a crusade, so we took a big truck over to Shingletown and set up a platform on one side of the road in the middle of town. People would gather on the other side of the road to watch, and there would be singing, praying and preaching. That's pretty much the setup at the town of Mbanda which is about a 20 minute drive away.
The first day we mostly just watched and let the Kenyans do their thing. They evangelize John-the-Baptist-style. Repent! seemed to be the main message. Also, I noticed that the smaller they are, the harder they preach. Anyway, most of it was English translated into Swahili or vice-versa, with no apparent method to when they switch back and forth. Occasionally it would be Swahili and Kukuyu (which is the tribal language of the most populous tribe in the area) - no English.
The second day Steve preached and it was much more what we Mazungu's (white people) are used to. More "God loves you" style. It's time to run - bye for now.
