Pastor Training with Thomas Trock

During the month of March, I had visitors from Orofino, Idaho, my good friends, Thomas and Jenny Trock.  Thomas teaches on a weekly basis at a local prison near their home.  He was very excited about spending time with the Maasai pastors.


Emmanuel translated for Thomas  They were quite a pair!


Outside during break time the pastors enjoyed the sun and fellowship.



Thomas taught, then broke them up into small groups for discussions.  This is pastor Joseph sharing what his group had discussed.



Our faithful cooks, Teresa and Anstaciah.


Thomas tried desperately to get them into groups of four.  It didn't work.  They just kept migrating to their friends and staunchly refused to budge.  This group had five!


Small groups.


Tea time!  It is a must in this culture and gives them time to check their phones and catch up with one another. 






Yummy lunch outside.  The weather was just perfect.  The fellowship -- priceless.



After lunch.  Back to small groups.


On Friday, Thomas had a foot washing service  This was an incredibly humbling event.



Many were just overwhelmed.



Here's the group with Thomas and his wife Jenny.
