A Friend Ordained

hi

one of my greatest friends and mentor, (Cheruiyot) was ordained yesterday. it was a great day for him as he had served in the church for over 28 years, after graduating in the early eighties from seminary. he had also served in the adhoc ministries before.

Recently he was blessed and gifted with car and this makes his work easier. i was privileged to be among those who joined him in praying and congratulating him...i was so moved by this great gesture by the ordinating council to give him this opportunity to serve. he will be ministering by serving communion, dedicating children, among other roles that goes with this....

enjoy the pics and continue to pray for the immense work ahead of him.

p.s. i have been to various conferences with him. the most notable is Amahoro in Uganda 2007.

Living to Serve

this is a story of Mr. Koech. he has been serving for over 40 years in the college i attended...he came here while he was young and now he is old. he is about 70 years of age.

he rides home in his bicycle and has little to show for the toil and hard work that he has had over the last 40 years...but he is happy to have served here.

he told me of a number of missionaries that he worked with. some of their kids are now doctors, pilots, and many other things...he played with them and cuddled them... and now they are far away...

my thoughts are that ....service in its true sense demands a lot of dedication and love for it.........this is what has made Koech to serve here for the last 40 years..... without regret.....and he is still ready to serve even more.....

I love his charisma, his attitude to work ....and his being able to read and write at his advanced age..without the aid of spectacles. he rarely goes to hospital though Koech is nearing about 70 plus years now....and he still rides his bike home.....Praise be to God.

in the other picture u see me admiring a car that was about to be dedicated to its owner. this is mitsubishi 4x4. it looks good for africa where roads are sometimes impassable.

i hope u enjoyed this moving story....otherwise have a great week.

Because He lives......
