Our Bishop Passes

The death of our bishop Rev. Dr. Ronoh of the Africa Gospel Church who died on Thursday (22nd July ) has really hit us in a big way, as a church. I had a chance to visit the home and sign the condolence book today. The book is placed near his office.


We want to ask you to pray for his family and friends who continue to visit the family home to offer condolences to them.

The bishop, Dr. Ronoh, was an astute leader who never favored any one side. We are praying that all will be well especially for his family and the entire church.

Our love and prayers are there for this dear family and your prayers are greatly needed.

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.

The Loss of a Bright Kalenjin Light

EMO society chairman, James Kiprop Bett died. See the news story here http://www.emosociety.org/


He died after his car hit buffalo's on the way to Nairobi. He was with his family and I know them personally.

A fundraiser was held this afternoon to cover medical and funeral expenses, and I attended, though we were disturbed a lot by the rain. The burial has been set for this Saturday.

James was born in 1966 and is one of the Kalenjin community's leaders. The Kalenjin is also my tribe and his life has really impacted me in a positive way.


I am thinking of attending his funeral in Eldoret on Saturday.

Please continue to pray for this family and the Kalenjin community as whole, as we come to terms with the loss of a young and great leader.

God bless.
