holiness is what I long for
While we spent a week earlier this month in the bush with our Discipleship Training Institute, I started singing the chorus “Holiness, Holiness is what I long for …”, except I sang it in Maa and taught to the DTI students and our dear friends Francis Yenko (the DTI Director) and Moses Mashipei (the DTI Assistant Director). It made for great campfire music, along with the song of the night-time grazing zebra, under the Southern Cross.
Here are the lyrics (see below for the audio):
esinyatisho, esinyatisho enayieu
esinyatisho, esinyatisho ninye ayieu
esinyatisho, esinyatisho, eniyieu te nanu
intayu oltai lai, intobira
intayu enkishui ai, imbelekenya
tolino, tolino, li Aitoriani !
tolino, tolino, li Aitoriani !
tolino, tolino, li Aitoriani !
intayu oltai lai, intobira
intayu enkishui ai, imbelekenya
tolino, tolino, li Aitoriani !
tolino, tolino, li Aitoriani !
tolino, tolino, li Aitoriani !
esinyatisho, esinyatisho enayieu
esinyatisho, esinyatisho ninye ayieu
esinyatisho, esinyatisho, eniyieu te nanu
Discipleship Training Institute
One of our favorite ministry opportunities has always been time spent with our DTS (Discipleship Training School). In order to avoid confusion with the similar ministries of YWAM (Youth With A Mission) that use the same name, we just changed the name to Discipleship Training Institute (DTI).
We’ve just spent a week out in the bush with the DTI. Ruth has written a delightful blog post that touches on our time there. And check back here later for another update.
Visit our Ministry page for more details about the DTI (you’ll need to scroll down). You can also revisit our older post, “Discipleship Training School reborn“, read the full story of that rebirth (.pdf file), or browse the “Reader’s Digest” version of that story (shorter .pdf).
2014 Ministry Update
We missionaries are often asked to describe our typical day. That may be the hardest question we’re ever asked. We tend to have multiple responsibilities in multiple locations and vocational ministry can be full of surprises. But we do understand why the question is asked. So since it has been awhile since we’ve shared a general ministry summary about our day-to-day and month-to-month work, we thought it might be helpful to some of you for us to do that. So if you’re interested, please read our update here.
Discipleship Training School reborn
One of many baptisms that came about from the ministry of the DTS students this year.
Emaisisi Olaitoriani lang!
“Let us all praise our Lord together!”
We have some wonderful news to share with you about the ministry among the Maasai, especially concerning the Discipleship Training School (DTS). Read the full update here. We are also in the process of putting together a website just for the DTS. We will let you know when that is available.
(If you prefer a “reader’s digest” version, a shorter DTS update is also available.)

Home & Homesick
We’ve been “home” in America since April … and consequently, we are homesick for our home and life in Kenya. Being able to reconnect with family and supporters has been great, but we also miss our life and work in Kenya.
To read more of our adventures, both stateside and in Kenya, see our latest update.

Oh, the mailed update included a nifty fridge magnet. So if you’re on our mailing list, start checking your mailboxes later this week. For the rest of you, here’s a digital copy.
