Mikko in Mombasa

February 5, 2006

When I saw the pastors, spiritual leaders, and missionaries group move up on the platform I decided to wait for my place among the groups to follow. Businessmen, lawyers, doctors. didn't feel like the right group. Employees, such as teachers, nurses, accountants, move to the rows of benches in the middle. Must be my group, I thought, and after sitting for a while started moving toward the back of the rows of benches in the middle.

The splitting into groups continued. Self-employed. Church employees. Students. As the movement of people in the tent settled, my group was being split more precisely. Teachers, nurses, social workers, to those benches. Bankers, accountants, managers, administrators. I decided coordinators fit in this group, which was being directed to the rows of benches where I was already seated. Secretaries, assistants.

The Jesus Celebration Centre is preparing to bring to an end the first phase, building the roof, of the new sanctuary. As of now, 90 million Kenyan shillings (over a million euros) have already been paid, the target is to collect another 40 million shillings (about half a million euros) by April 8th. That leaves 8 weeks of time. The target for the bankers, accountants, managers, administrators, and coordinators group was set at 1.2 million shillings. (about 15000 euros)
