Gladys

Gladys Muchoki



Gladys is a dear chaplain here at Riley.  God brought her to us on our last visit to Riley on Monday when we were very discouraged.  It was wonderful to hear her beautiful accent and her story.  She is from Nairobi, Kenya and has been in the States for six months.  Tomorrow night, her husband arrives.  She hasn't seen him for six months. She loves to Skype and talk to her kids and see her grandkids!

She is absolutely precious.  It was a special treat to have her come by again today.  On the last visit after she prayed in English, I asked her if she would also pray in her first language.  It was wonderful to hear her pray in her Kikuyu language.  Today, she closed her prayer in English, "In Jesus' name," and then just went right into prayer in Kikuyu.  We loved it! 

Thank you, Gladys for holding our hands and pointing us to Jesus!  Not enough American kids have been blessed to be prayed over in the Kikuyu language.  I hope Gladys continues to grow that number.  We are blessed!
