this past sunday [november 16,2008] i can say was a blessing in two ways. we had the message preached and, at the same time, the rain ..rained on us ...just after the first service! [rain in kalenjin culture symbolizes blessings]. my speaking was cut short by the rains and everyone had to run here and there to take shelter.
i later checked and found out that our temporary structure is in dire need of repairs. we need to find another 'tent', so that it can cover us. please pray that we can get this; or even a simple polythene just to cover us when the sermon is going on.
but as u can see, we still had a great time, though walking home was slippery after the service. Enjoy the pics and pray with us.

Following the Footsteps
hello,
yesterday (saturday) was a great day for me. My cousin was graduating. he graduated with a Bachelors degree in Theology. actually, he is following my footsteps as i graduated from the same seminary 6 years ago.
i marvel at the mercies of the Lord that helped him graduate since each year about two thousand $ was needed for his education needs. actually he had to stop his studies for a while as he could have graduated last year. i thank God for His grace, enabling me to help where i could in this venture. our parents were not able but with God all things were possible. the last five years has been a marathon for him and for myself as we spent long times in prayer; hoping that he could graduate this year.
his last semester we had to live together so that the cost for boarding could be cut off. but as usual,it was hard. friends who could help were few. But God remained true and Bernard graduated yesterday. the future now is clear. we look forward to the time when he will go to graduate school and get an MTH. but for now he is going to minister to the Muslim folks, as that is the passion in his heart. Pray for him. (Proverbs 16:9 A man's mind plans his way, but the LORD directs his steps.)
in the other pictures are folks from home, his mother, and our grandmother, as well. in one picture is the sister of my friend Kennedy. Kennedy and i graduated together 6years ago and he sent his sister to study here too. she is going to Wesley seminary in Mississippi this September, God willing. otherwise enjoy the rest of the pictures.
