School Visits Underway


i have been very busy going to schools and meeting high school students. they just got back to their schools for their last semester. we have 3 semesters here in our schools.

the third; this semester is going to be be filled with lots of work for students. this will determine whether the students will move to the next class or they have to repeat the same class in some cases. this is also the semester where those students who did not take their work seriously decide instantly to be very serious students.

i have started hitherto to visit this schools. i have about 20 schools to visit this semester pray that all goes well. at the same time, we thank our government for allowing us to visit these schools. i have read that in other countries...it is not allowed for for one to visit schools....for religious purposes.

otherwise have a great day

Living to Serve


this is a story of Mr. Koech. he has been serving for over 40 years in the college i attended...he came here while he was young and now he is old. he is about 70 years of age.

he rides home in his bicycle and has little to show for the toil and hard work that he has had over the last 40 years...but he is happy to have served here.

he told me of a number of missionaries that he worked with. some of their kids are now doctors, pilots, and many other things...he played with them and cuddled them... and now they are far away...

my thoughts are that ....service in its true sense demands a lot of dedication and love for it.........this is what has made Koech to serve here for the last 40 years..... without regret.....and he is still ready to serve even more.....

I love his charisma, his attitude to work ....and his being able to read and write at his advanced age..without the aid of spectacles. he rarely goes to hospital though Koech is nearing about 70 plus years now....and he still rides his bike home.....Praise be to God.

in the other picture u see me admiring a car that was about to be dedicated to its owner. this is mitsubishi 4x4. it looks good for africa where roads are sometimes impassable.

i hope u enjoyed this moving story....otherwise have a great week.
