“Karam! Karam-nyo-man! Nyo-man!”
Tales from Pokot, Africa from Mike Crawford and Moe Lunn
Mike Crawford shares, “We were welcomed us with a warmth and hospitality that made us feel right at home. The People of Pokot always greeted us with an enthusiastic “Karam! Karam-nyo-man! Nyo-man!” (TRANSLATION: “I’m doing fine! I’m doing very fine! Very fine!) and a brisk, extended-length handshake whether we were on the trail, around the fire or entering their homes.
“Mike, for the moment I know you would leave on Thursday, but I recognize our friendship will last forever, although we will be aparted by geographical distance but that one would not matter…”
No Joel, that one would not matter…although we are separated by a great distance, the love of Christ draws us near to each other’s hearts and that one is “very ok”!
