preaching and teaching
Members of the Wayland Baptist University mission team had the opportunity to participate in and lead a wide variety of worship and learning environments, from the intensive Bible training at Christ the King Baptist Church in Kakamega; to the spontaneous, celebratory worship at Calvary Baptist Church Under the Tree, also in Kakamega; to a worship service with dancing and rapping at Living Proof Baptist Church in Limuru; to a baptismal ceremony following that service.
