Donovan baptized the Masai turning to the traditional Christian sign or symbol of being renewed in Christ. The Masai’s brought their own signs blending burning embers lit from the same fire with the baptism ritual. (Donovan, 72) Through this blending Donovan turned to contextualization, looking to the experiences of the Masai to make the baptism more real to them.
I pray that there will be similar signs when my group and I go to Kenya. Perhaps there will be the moving of the Holy Spirit as we help to organize a revival through the church. Perhaps some lives will be changed through relationship with the God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. This is my hope and desire.
