Grasshoppers - An American, Miss Boldt, heard God's call to Kenya while working among Zulus in South Africa. Moving north, she met farmers, Mr and Mrs McLellan Wilson (who had first arrived with Scott ten years previously). They pointed her to the Luo of western Kenya. She established The Independent Nilotic Mission close to Lake Victoria in 1906 and called her friends, Mr & Mrs Innis to join her. They gladly surrendered their autonomy to become part of AIM and the nucleus of a team for the Luo.
…. Mr & Mrs Innis had set a typical pattern. Patiently hiking, often through clinging mud and across swollen streams, they fostered 32 little centres. In each they placed a young Christian who taught school all week and led worship on Sundays
