4-wheeling in the desert

Jeff, two other missionaries (one American and one Kenyan), and a Som. friend headed back up to Moyale last week for several promotional meetings for Sports Friends and Christian Workers Book Set (http://www.sim.org/index.php/project/92166) projects.  They left Wednesday and made it home on Sunday.  That's a whole lot of driving for less than a week and they were tired and very dusty when they arrived home.  Many good contacts were made and the Lord provided them safety coming home...even to the extent of having an armed police escort ride with them between Marsabit and Isiolo where tribal issues had caused several deaths to travelers on that stretch of road. The policeman took them through the desert instead of using the main road. 

It was hot and dusty, but imagine 4 guys in a land rover 4-wheeling in the desert.  They may have been grimy, but I'm betting they all had big smiles on their faces!  When they arrived in Isiolo, they discovered a pretty massive oil leak, which Jeff took to get fixed.  Apparently not only was there a hole spewing oil, but the rear differential had come "undone".  They could have easily lost a rear tire on their trek across the "bad" lands!  Thanks for praying for our safety!  God continues to watch over us..even when we don't think we need watching over!
