Before you even say it, yes, we’ve been in Canada this whole time and will be for the rest of the month, but this is one US stop that we had to make. As the Maasai said on the drive down, “This just feels like we’re going home.” Blaine Christian Fellowship is pastored by our friend Riyochi Takeda. If you’ve been reading our blog, this name might already sound familiar as we stayed at his house upon arriving in Canada.

The Takedas and the Blaine church family have already been entrenched in the lives and stories of the Maasai for the since the last tour, but the two sides had never met in person until now. So, this service really did feel like the reunion of friends, what a joyous event.

By the end, there were very few dry eyes in the house and Blaine was overflowing with love.
