Interestingly, Donovan begins with the deed. He described existing efforts that were institutional including schools and a hospital. Donovan wrote his bishop requesting being cut-off from these institutions, instead going among, essentially living with the Masai.
The XYZ Church, my church, plan to be there only 10 days but my plan in terms of contextualization (Lecture, 7/20 and 21/09) started long before the trip. They speak English in Kenya but also a language of Africa Kiswahili. In the past year, I have taken two classes in Kiswahili and have a good comprehension of the language. So we go to Kenya as part of an institution but I would like to follow Donovan’s model and do my best to immerse myself in Kenyan culture. (Donovan, 12-14) XYZ also plans a long term commitment and relationship with Nakura.
