Missionary Eva


Hello friends,

I have some words to encourage you this week.

At 59 years of age, Mrs Eva Tonui is a self-sponsored missionary to an unreached people group in Kenya. She speaks their language and was working with her husband in this outreach from 1976 to 1990's.

 


After the demise of her husband, she stayed home, as many would do, caring for their little children. When the kids were of age the calling to return to a place where her husband served became more more direct to her.   She shared with friends about this calling but no one could understand her.


One day she set out and travelled there alone.  She slept for 3 nights along the way but finally found joy serving the Pokot people.  She runs a clinic, has a church that is overflowing, and has rescued over 20 girls from forced circumcision and early marriages. ( Girls are married off at the age of 12 in the community).  Some of the children she has helped are now in school in Kericho and Bomet Districts.




I must say, I was so fortunate to meet Eva.  She is so athletic and walks many many kilometers each day.

 Please pray for her and her heart for the unreached people groups in Kenya.
