2011 July
Stan Kimer, as member of board of directors of Other Sheep and as MCC Ecumenical & Inter-
Religious team member, while vacationing in Rwanda and Kenya also scheduled time to meet
local pastors on behalf of Other Sheep and MCC

    In Kenya, Stan . . .
  • Spoke at the worship service of Neema MCC where Rev. Michael Kimindu is the
    pastor
  • Met with the pastor of Substance MCC, Mr. Joseph Nyaisa
  • Traveled with Rev. Kimindu to his tribal area east of Nairobi where
  • we "had an interesting encounter with a very conservative young
    fundamentalist pastor" with whom we talked about "God's love and
    acceptance for all God's children, especially the gay, transgendered and
    intersexed.  At first this young pastor was resistant to hearing this, but later
    he called us back and said he earnestly wanted to learn more!"
  • Rev. Kimindu and Stan "taught a very frank safe-sex and HIV-prevention
    class to a group of boisterous 8th and 9th graders."
  • Visited Other Sheep Afrika - Kenya Headquarters in Karen outside of Nairobi
  • Met with Rev. John Makokha and Rev. Michael Kimindu
  • A chance encounter encountering with a television producer from Norway and
    her taping of a gay Christian couple of Nairobi

    In Rwanda, Stan . . .
  • In Gisenyi, met with Other Sheep Africa country coordinator (for Rwanda and the
    Dem. Rep of the Congo) Elie Gasana who "organized a meeting with me to share
    MCC's and Other Sheep's work with a dozen local pastors."
  • "They came with a sincere desire to learn about this "new teaching" as
    they called it.  I believe God is moving in hearts of religious leaders in
    Africa, and that people are understanding that fully loving and accepting
    God's LGBT children and those living with HIV and AIDS is truly a Godly
    Biblical call."
  • In Gisenyi, met with the street orphans Other Sheep mentoring team
  • In Gisenyi, met with the two Other Sheep leaders from the Dem. Rep. of the
    Congo
  • In Kigali, met with a pastor there (name withheld) with whom Steve and Jose first
    met and introduced Other Sheep in 2008
