They live in a circular home of branches approximately seven feet in diameter with a thatched roof of grass. When food and water became scarce the women do the moving by using camels. At the missionary location of the Grose family there was an under­ ground river. A hole was dug in the earth and a bowl set in it to collect water. Wooden camel bells tell the herdsmen of a distant camels’ location. A camel can store a six-week’s water supply. The animals are herded into a secure enclosure for safety. The herds­ man lies across the doorway to guard the entrance. Kenya is a dry country; rain may not fall for 18 months. The bursting of the ocacian tree into leaf signifies rain is near. Diesel motors were used to supply a compound with water. If these failed, students were obliged to travel dusy, dirty roads at 95 degrees temperature for possibly three days to get home. They beg for a cup of cold water. This was the country where Jesus travelled. There is spiritual significance to water: Jesus is the Living Water - Share it. At the close of the service each person present walked by the Communion table and was served a Kenyan wafer or bread and a glass ofcold water. Jesus said, “I am the Bread of Life, he who comes to me will never thirst.” Rev. John Roberts extended a warm welcome to all present and expressed his appreciation to the Sunday School Superintendent William Coultes and all who participated in anyway in the service and barbecue.
