1000 Kenyan Leaders - Part Three

hello friends,

this is the 3rd report of the recent leadership conference held in kericho.

the graduation night was very crowded both with people and with the program. those who attended were issued with certificates of attendance. there were farewell ceremonies for the conference goers as well as our teachers. we sang songs and received the final blessings in terms of the word of God.

our final Word was clear.

"Move with haste......and reach Samaria and Judea and to the ends of the world..."

i believe this is the same message i have for you.

look out, reach out to your friends...pray with them. the Lord is coming soon. have a great day and enjoy the pictures.

1000 Kenyan Leaders - Part Two

hello friends,

i still have more information from my week long stay at the leadership conference. it was a very busy time for me and those that attended the conference. there were many "sideshows" and i intend to give u a few of them today and maybe part of this week to give you a better idea of what was happening here.

Women:
i observed that the women really love to sit in front of the conference hall. they were always the first in the hall too and were the initiators of the whole program in the hall.

Food:
to get food you were expected to queue up to the cafeteria. the food served mainly was 'ugali' (made from corn), beans/meat, chicken, rice etc. i learned this past week, that it is difficult to keep people in the line. everyone wanted to be the first. i had a hard time doing this 'job' of being a prefect.

Waiters:
our waiters are people who are used to the workings in the kitchen and serving large groups. they usually serve up to 600 students in the school, but at the same time they felt that our conference was a big one for them and a little more challenging (our number was 1000) as it contained people of various ages. watch this spot from time to time, to hear more great stories coming along.

1000 Kenyan Leaders

hello

we had a wonderful one week leadership seminar this past week here in kericho. we really learned a lot from the facilitators who came from far and wide. what a joy it was to sit with leaders who have been teaching about leadership around the world.

i really love getting to know the delegates myself. we had over 1000 leaders from Kenya. it brings great joy to my heart as i learn that indeed we are all in the same battle, and some of the struggles i was going thru are the same struggles that my friends are going thru.



thanks for your prayers for this meeting. what a great joy this seminar brought to my heart. adding to my joy in attending this meeting was that i was appointed as one of the leaders to coordinate the meeting. after a week of meetings i am just heading home to have a warm shower (we usually have cold ones), a good rest for the weekend and service on Sunday.

have a great day and God Bless
Jonah
