An influence yet ever so slight

I think that I can finally see that God might be working through me at Atlanta Bread....finally! I got teased all throughout the day today about various things. "So your going to Kenya to convert the heathens to Christianity," was a comment made by this guy Jayson. He's probably the only employee other than Dom that is older than me. He acts like he's the same age as the kids, he's fun though. I corrected him that I am going to help the childeren with AIDS, not with the intention to convert them. Plus, many do know God, there are a lot of Kenyan Christians.
But he can see my heart, even though I never remember professing my Christianity. They all call me the church going girl. I've somehow, someway have been shining and I never knew it. I was actually able to witness to this kid named Ryan. He was asking questions and challenging me about revelant questions from the Bible, like, If God is such a loving, and merciful God, why did he destroy all the people from the flood and only saved Noah and his family. Why didn't he just soften their hearts? I think he went to a Catholic church and saw all of the hyprocasy and was turned off. But I got to tell him what I believe and why I believe it and altough he probably took what I said with a grain, I was still able to possibly plant some seeds. I hope that he at least thought about some of the stuff I said and didn't instantly dismiss it.
So I am so glad that I'm getting teased at work. I love it. I'm different from them and they can see it and are commenting on it and that is awesome. They still accept me and hopefully respect me.

Praise God! The mission field right at your door step. Glad to read all your updates.

I wanted to let you know that there is a ICS school in Kenya. Here is their website http://www.westnairobischool.org/ if you feel God is leading you to a longer time mission in Kenya it might be worth looking into.
