Widows & Orphans in Kericho

We had a great visit to the widows in Kericho, Kenya. We shared with them foodstuffs and LOVE. It was the greatest time ever. I really loved it.

We also visited with orphan children. This was the greatest time of our trip. The orphans are in great need. Please pray for them as they have not enough food, and lack shoes and sporting clothes, etc.

 

Enjoy the pictures of our visit and please do leave a comment. I'd love to hear from you.

Inter-Religious Meeting

Hello,

Muslims all over the world are now feared and people are afraid to have friendship with them. I must confess my fears too. Today marked a turning point here in Kericho. We Christians and Muslims greeted each other and had sodas together as we visited.

I must admit this is my first time doing this here in Kericho, Kenya. In other places that I have visited like Dubai and Qatar, it was not hard to mingle as there are Muslims everywhere.

During our meetings today my mind has been focused on how to win a Muslim to Christianity. I've been remembering this week too what I have been reading and re-learning new terms in the Muslim world. In particular, I've been re-learning about the use of "Allah" (God) and what it means to a Muslim. I have been reading this week also that some churches in Malaysia were torched down because they used the term Allah, and I later realised that now some Arab Christians are using the term Allah al-Ab, God the Father, to differentiate from Muslim use of the word "Allah" and make it clear that they are taking about the Christian God.

My prayer is for Muslims to change and become Christians. This step will start with relationship building which I hope will bring them to Christianity and the loving hand of God. I challenge you to take a step. Befriend a Muslim and teach them about Jesus our Lord.

God Bless

Celebration of Life

Hello,

Here we are at a life celebration service for Brother Ariba, one of our praise and worship leaders who died recently. We were told that he had colon cancer. He died after a long and painful time fighting the disease.

He worked with Walter Reed here in Kericho, Kenya as a counselor too. He loved the Lord so much that he was even serving God when he was sick.

What a loss of life, and loss of a great worship leader. I will really miss his heartfelt singing. Today travelled today to this side of Emuhaya, Kenya, northwest of Kericho for funeral services tommorrow. Pray for his family members.

Christmas Comes to Kericho Prison

Today (Friday) I had a great visit to the prisons here in Kericho.

We visited both the men and the women.
There were almost 300 men
and the women were 59 in number.
I so much love to visit them as the message of truth comes into our visit. We told them about Silas when he was in prison, and the story of the Samaritan woman (John, chapter 4) was delivered by Kisaka. Kisaka is the lady in the picture (below) preaching. She is from Turkana and we are glad she is here in Kericho to study.

We gave out food and drinks for these dear ones.
Continue to pray for them.

Many Blessings

Christmas Comes to the Kericho District Hospital

Hello,

Visiting the patients at the District hospital was very touching. The patients who use this hospital are people who are low in the society and they lack basic things that are needed when one is sick. It was really touching also to meet those who are terminally sick and pray with them.

We want to thank Dr. Betty for welcoming us. She is a dentist but is the overall person incharge at this hospital. I remember the time we raised funds for her finances so that she could study abroad and we are glad she is back.

Continue to pray for Dr. Betty as we plan to visit the same hospital in the near future.

Christmas Gifts in Kericho Town

Hello,

It is Christmas again and we praise God for his love for us, that we can see another Christmas.

As usual we visited those needy places in our town. We started at the rehabilitation school and ended at the hospital here in Kericho, Kenya.

We are glad we managed to visit these sites and we were so much welcomed by the people. We want to thank God for the new administrator at the rehabilitation school; Mrs Boit, who encouraged us to keep visiting the school.

The center of our attention at this school was the two twin gals who are at the institution. We were so much touched by their plight. Continue to pray for the two of them, Sharon and Pigoty. We do hope someone can adopt them. They are in the group picture we took.


Thanks for your prayers and support,
God Bless

Peace Building Seminar with Student Leaders Concludes

Thank you for your prayers for the students leaders we hosted in Kericho, Kenya this past week. I enjoyed staying with them and chaperoning them, though I went to sleep late, most of the time at midnight since I had to make sure they were all asleep first.

I love young people. I enjoyed interacting with them, though i realize many young people see things as they are ...at that time......

Mostly this week, we had a good time learning lessons about conflict and it's resolutions.

At the end of the week, each one of us got a certificate. A certificate was also given to me for being a good coordinator and being able to look after the young one's well.

Have a great day and
many blessings.
