HOW I FOUND CHRISTIAN SCIENCE July 26, 2010 Issue

MY SPIRITUAL JOURNEY

ROBERT MUHUNAMI—NAIROBI, KENYA

I CAME TO LEARN about Christian Science in 1999. Although my parents had been religious, I had never been to church when I was young and was not familiar with religion. I happened to be walking on the streets of Nairobi one day and came upon a few young men who were distributing religious literature.

When one man showed me the literature he was holding in his hand, I almost waved him aside as I walked past. But I give gratitude to God, the divine Mind, because just then I heard a voice calling within me, "See how beautiful that literature is!" I stopped and accepted a magazine from the young man and immediately looked at the cover.

The title read Christian Science Sentinel. I saw that it was connected with the Christian Science church. The only question I asked the young man who gave me this magazine was, "Where is this church in Nairobi?" He gave me the directions to the church building, and I thanked him and continued on my journey, looking at the Sentinel in my hands admiringly.
