Praising God for School Supplies

We are praising God for the provision of the school supplies that he provided for us through Joyful servant. What a blessing it is to have these provisions and give them to those children in real need. It was lots of joy as we completed this wonderful mission.

I am moved a lot when I go from one home to another to meet these kids; all of them with a great future in their minds.Continue praying for each one of them so that one day, they can help others.EDUCATION WILL TRULY OPEN DOORS FOR EACH ONE OF THEM.

Blessings to you all.

JESUS CALLS THE CHILDREN (& Pastor Jonah Calls the Children's Writers)

hello friends,

it is always a great joy to see young ones coming to the saving knowledge of Christ through Vacation Bible school (VBS). this week alone we were able to reach about 100 boys and gals in the village through VBS.

in VBS we have games, songs, colouring, making puzzles and memorizing scriptures. this year our theme was God's LOVE

we divide the students into three levels:
-beginners - those in kindergarten
-lower - involves those in lower grades
-upper - those in upper grades.

we do this every vacation (when the term end's and the kids are free, like this month of December ). what a joy to see so many of them committing to serving God even in these last days.

on another matter, i will need your prayers and volunteerism (am sorry i can't pay u). i am greatly involved in writing and editing children's books. if u are gifted in writing simple children's stories, let me know (kericho120@yahoo.com). u will not need to travel over to africa (though u are most welcome). the internet is a great help.

Jiko Jiko Jiko Jiko Jiko

hello friends,

please pray. we are getting nearer to our tenth jiko. though we are halfway now as five jikos are now being used. what a joy this is.

i pray that we might continue to trust in Him the more. thanks a lot for those who have contributed to this and those who will in the near future.

Notes: In the slideshow above you will see the built up area of mud and bricks which is the new stove and counter area for cooking. You will also see a woman I call "Mama Jiko" holding the "jiko" pot. Mama Jiko makes these pots. These are mini ovens and placed over the holes in the built up stove so that food can be cooked more efficiently, with less smoke and with less wood.

Ordination

hello friends,

what a joy it is to qualify for ordination in your church. it is the same for these friends and their families, who after serving faithfully in the church have been able to be ordained. most of them have served more than 20 -30yrs in church leadership and it was a great challenge for them to accept this call to serve even more.

it was also a great day for me to see friends who have mentored me over the years getting to the top and i was really excited. some of them have given me opportunities to serve with them in their churches. what a joy this was.

i was also privileged to introduce myself to new friends that i made that day. it was truly a great day for me.

enjoy the pictures
