This month’s edition of News from Luther Seminary features a story about Nathan Roberts, ’12, and Michael Kimpur, two men from different cultures who worked together to found the Daylight center, a school in Kenya for orphans of war.
Together, they wrote “Poor Millionaires: The Village Boy Who Walked to the Western World and the American Boy Who Followed Him Home.” This autobiographical tale tells the story of how Kimpur, raised in a nomadic tribe in Kenya, found his way to the West and he met Roberts, who was raised in an affluent Minnesotan suburb. The book description explains how, together, they experienced the “unexpected consequences of introducing Christianity to a war-torn African village.”
