A Pilot Friend Takes a Wife

Hello,


We had a great day today. There was a wedding of a friend of mine named Joshua. He is a pilot. Then we also spent time with the youths at the Chagaik Arboretum. We really had a great day; a full day. One of encouragement and love for each other. 

 

We had a small distraction of rain but all ended fine. The cake was interesting with a picture of a plane on it. What a great surprise from Joshua. Though of course I am happy for my friend, I miss spending time with him even now.

Otherwise I wish him and his wife a happy family.
Enjoy the pics.

Reflections

Hello,

I hope u are doing great.

I just wanted to tell you that we had the burial of my grandmother a week ago and it is now a time of reflection on the times that we had together. I have now accepted that she died.

From Pastor Jonah's Grandma's Funeral

The week of the burial my mind was still hovering here and there. But I'm glad that now I have accepted that she has died and I hope to meet her in heaven someday.

I am writing this to thank you for your prayers. Without them I could not do much as u know I was vested with lots of work during this time of mourning. We had to look for microphones, battery to power it, tables, etc. it was time consuming but we are glad God came and helped us. So many people came and joined us too; villagers and many friends from far and near.

From Pastor Jonah's Grandma's Funeral

Please continue to pray for us as we come to terms to the reality of her death as we really loved her for the 120 or so years she lived here.

Christmas in the Village 2008 - Kericho, Kenya, East Africa

hello,

i hope u had a wonderful Christmas. most people spent their Christmas with family; others in the church, still others visiting new places, etc.

here in Kenya, most people spent their time with family, and the next thing when you spend your time like that, what comes to mind often is the food that is most needed as families converge. it is always a challenge for village folks to afford this and we had to chip in and help a few families deal with this need.

we bought each family sugar, rice, wheat flour, oil , salt, etc. this was a complete Christmas party for a family of ten kids. i was so excited to see them happy and enjoying the fellowship and the food together. in most of these pictures in the slideshow, u will see the packaging [of the food] going on. we had to buy everything in bulk so that the prices could come down. we had a great Christmas and i look forward to 'jumping' into the next year on january 1st, 2009.



let's keep praying for ISRAEL to stop this war on terror. i just wish there was a way they get the hamas militants without injuring the kids and the innocent.

God Bless
Jonah

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.
