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.

A Love Like No Other ~ My World Tuesday

All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you,
do ye even so to them.

Matthew 7:12

Hello,


Imagine you are a father or a mother and you gave birth to a child who is not well, and could not stand up for close to nine years. What pain you would have. But the family I am about to tell you about, had such a child and loved him dearly.

The child could not talk, but he would move his eyes. He was happy to see his father and mother and he knew their voices. He was happy when children played too. This is Kiprotich, a precious jewel that will be missed by his mother who loved him the way he was.
I don't want to look or think about the work it will entail to keep such a child; waking in the middle of the night to turn him, cleaning him, etc. but the family loved doing it for their dear one.

That is why God has blessed this family with two beautiful kids, a boy and gal. It touched so many of us to see the strength of this dear family as they laid their loved one to rest.

I love them with all my heart.

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.

Suffer the Little Children



hello friends,

ministry to the kids is the greatest joy of all.
over the past few weeks i have been going out in the village with my brothers and sisters to reach the little ones for Christ.

what a joy to meet them in their current situations and to see them happy. i realized that at the end of the day, getting the boys and gals to be friendly takes just a short time.

I love it when I can share the love of Christ with these little ones.


Mark 10:14 Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.


enjoy the pics
and God Bless

Enjoying His LIGHT and LOVE

soon we shall celebrate and and enjoy the "fruits" of this wedding that recently took place here. this is my great expectation as the young couple [in photo above] who married looked very excited. we are so happy that the two young people love God and are ready to serve Him.

many, many years ago, our weddings were traditionally done in the pitch of the night. but when the LIGHT [of God] came calling we had 2 change and now we do this [wedding ceremonies] in the middle of the day.

what a joy it is for the whole community, including the children, to witness this wedding. this is what is happening here as you people in America celebrate your Thanksgiving holiday.

Psalm 118:19 "Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good: His love endures forever."

Because He lives,
Pastor Jonah
