President Kenyatta and I generated a warm friendship immediately.
We found that we had much in common in general philosophies and
grasp of human conditions, right principles and concepts.
Our first visit, almost an hour, was at his office in the
State House. He does not live there, however, and the second visit
was at his home, some 35 or 40 miles outside Nairobi. I met his
wife and family. We were met at the airport on our arrival by his
niece (whom he calls his daughter), and to a considerable extent
we were guided and escorted by her during our two weeks in Nairobi.
She and the President's wife are going to visit us a little later
in Pasadena, and they want me to try personally to induce President
Kenyatta to visit Ambassador College at Pasadena. He never flies,
but they feel that perhaps I may be able to induce him to make the
flight.
I still marvel at the favor God gives me in the eyes of the
world Leaders -- a favor really needed to accomplish Christ's
Great Commission.
Incidentally, I wonder how you picture a place like Nairobi?
They still do have many tribes in rural parts, who may still live
like their ancestors in the wilds of Africa. And you can drive a
car out not half an hour's drive from the city and see wild animals
still roaming free and wild. But Nairobi is a really metropolitan
modern city of more than half a million population. And it may
become a very important city to us, in terms of getting God's Work
done in Africa.
Mr. Art Ferdig, Managing Editor of the PLAIN TRUTH, just came
into my room. He has to catch a plane to fly back to Pasadena, and
I want him to take this letter along for printing and mailing from
Pasadena, so I will break off here.
God's Work is truly LEAPING AHEAD all over the world! Reports
from Pasadena show that the income is beginning to pick up somewhat
-- and it simply MUST pick up, if these new phases of this great
Work are to continue on the increase.
Again, thank you -- THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!!!, dear brethren
and co-workers with Christ!
Sincerely and with love, in Jesus' name,
Herbert W. Armstrong
