The devotions lasted from 1030 to 1300, however typically it was filled with passion and joy of hundreds of people under the age of 20 yrs all dancing, singing, praying, and laughing.  Time stood still as if we had entered a sustained mystical event.  Pictured is Dr. Charles and Mama Esther enjoying the dance and hymn sing portion of the service.

Truly there is nothing like a time like this.  Gone were my aches and pains, gone were the dreadful news reports and dire opinion articles, and gone were the stresses of a world descended into chaos.  

True when we reemerged from this time focused on that which is wholesome,  creative, and filled with love, we discovered nothing was changed in the world.  And yet as Charles and I agreed, since there is little we can do, then the best thing to do for ourselves and those we love is to concentrate of the promise and recorded history of the God of Moses, Abraham, Jesus and Paul.  This God of creation loves us, the Creation, so much the darkness and chaos will be defeated.  Praise God from whom all blessing flow.

I have spoken with Mary (pseudonym) a number of times.  She has been with MCF since age 6 and here she is 13 in grade 8.  Her story of rescue from the far northern remote area of Turkana is a reason for MCF to exist as it inspires everyone with a heart for all humanity.  She is excelling in school and her music aptitude and love of music placed her in the top choir of MCF at a very early age.  While her story is too long for this page, I plan to turn it into a Narrative.

It is worth noting that if it were not for MCF, this talented brilliant young woman, by her own testimony, would be today in an arranged marriage and likely a mother of a couple of babies.  We thank God for the dedication and vision that led Dr. Charles Mulli to step into the poverty that kills, and the survival practices that oppresses.  I am reminded once again that the mandate for the Nazarene was to tell good news to the poor that there can be more excellent way and to act by bringing freedom to the oppressed.  Praise God from whom all Blessing flow!
