All of it happened. It was hard for author Terry Dykstra to
believe. Yet if she could not believe it, she had her memoir to
prove it to herself. She dreamed of becoming a missionary in
Africa, and the dream came true.
Orphaned and vulnerable children were fed and educated. Grace
rose up and walked. A university soared on the wings of eagles.
Abused women fought back with political clout. A teenaged girl
jumped over puddles of blood escaping ethnic violence. HIV/AIDS
stalked the land.
Eager, bright, and beautiful Kenyan students became skilled and
loving Christian pastors. Violence and crime and corruption were
commonplace. Missionary friends were gunned down and killed. Yet
the persistent light of the Christian faith remains a beacon of
hope in Kenya.
The American and Scottish missionaries who arrived in Kikuyu one
hundred years ago would be proud of the Kenyan Christians who
continue to carry the torch. They clothe the naked, feed the
hungry, bind up the wounds, and preach the good news to the
poor.
Down through the ages, the work of Christians goes on from
generation to generation, from continent to continent. The light
shines in the darkness, and the darkness cannot overcome it.
Terry witnessed the Church in action in Kenya, and she was
humbled and blessed.
