Hallo,
tut mir echt leid, dass ich unseren blog jetzt so einige Wochen verwaist zurueckgelassen habe. Vor allem fuer die, die regelmaessig nachschauen, moechte ich sagen, dass mir das leid tut, also bitte nicht aufhoeren damit uns auf unserem blog zu besuchen. Irgendwie war es echt busy die letzten Wochen, und ich hab mir nicht die Zeit genommen mich hinzusetzen um zu schreiben. Obwohl es mir doch wichtig ist, Euch auf dem laufenden zu halten. Wir haben gerade eine ganze Reihen von verschiedenen Seminaren und meetings fast gleichzeitig im Krankenhaus am laufen. Das meiste geht um die Volksgruppe die uns am naechsten ist. Ein Seminar heisst: Den anderen verstehen.
Da geht es darum, den Mitarbeitern nahe zu bringen, dass wir es mit einem Volk zu tun haben, die anders sind, aber auch Menschen sind und erreicht werden wollen. Das groesste Ziel ist es natuerlich so viele wie moeglich mit unserem besten Freund vertraut zu machen, und dafuer brauchen wir moeglichst viele Menschen, die diesen Freund schon kennen und ihm vertrauen. So versuchen wir die Barrieren abzubauen, die zwischen den Kulturen herrschen.
Daneben laufen noch viele andere meetings wo wir entweder Kulturverstaendnis rueberbringen, oder erklaeren was sich hinter der Religion des Islam verbirgt. Viele kommen dann mit tollen Aha Erlebnissen aus den Seminaren raus und wollen mehr lernen und sich engagieren auf den andren zuzugehen und mit ihm zu teilen.
Das was wieder zumindest ein Lebenszeichen von uns. Leider hab ich keine Bilder, beim naechsten mal will ich ein paar Bilder dazuhaengen,damit ihr wieder etwas mitbekommt fuers Auge.
Viele Gruesse, Thomas

Hello,
I am really sorry that I haven't updated our blog for quite a few weeks now. For those who check regularly, accept my apologies. We are doing quite fine here in Kenya but life has been busy lately and to get the time to sit down and write about what is going on didn't come. I guess one has to take time to do what is important. And I do feel it is important to keep you wonderful people updated. Just a few minutes ago I finished one of my assignments which I have to write for my studies. And some of them really take a lot of time if you want to get good grades. I am still enjoying the school, this time it is a 10 weeks course in 'Theology of Leadership'. I am really amazed at how practical the whole course is for me in what I am doing here in Kenya.
By the way, we are having courses introduced here in the Hospital: Understanding others.
That is meant for Hospital staff to be better equipped to work with the ever growing influx of Somali patients to our Hospital. It touches on topics such as culture, religion and on how we can do better as a Hospital so that they can come closer to us and also understand who our best friend is. We want to introduce Jesus to as many people as possible, and in order to do that we do need as many people as possible.
Sorry, no pictures, I forgot to take my camera with me, when we had the seminar. Hopefully I won't forget next week. Have a lovely weekend, Thomas
