Ken Nsimbi came in on Tuesday evening to Vienna Airport. He was supposed to be with the Ballard Team in July, but God had other plans in mind.
Ken is from Kenya. Well, here is how he put it, “I was born in Kenya, have Kenyan citizenship, a Ugandan passport and residence in the USA.”
He speaks English & Swahili (maybe other languages, but I don’t know about that, yet.).
Ken has been using Hip Hop as an outreach tool in the city of Seattle, WA. for some time now. He dances, plays the drums, bongo, sings, has some martial arts experience and loves to watch movies. Above all that, though, is his obvious love for the Lord Jesus and people.
We asked him to give thanks last night when we sat down to eat our midnight snack (no, that’s not a typical part of our schedule) - but we asked him to give thanks in his native tongue. We bowed our heads and he prayed, “Dear Lord Jesus...” We all busted up! Of course, he was kidding and then proceeded to pray in Swahili. WOW! What a beautiful sounding language! Heaven is going to be amazing! Especially because we’ll all be able to understand each other no matter what language we will speak!
You can see pictures of him here: http://www.ballardchurch.org/Creative.html He’s the only black guy in the pics. As you can see from the pics, he’s quite an energetic, fun-loving guy. We’ve grown to love him very quickly and are looking forward to seeing how the Lord’s going to use him during his short time here in Slovakia.
