The Gift of Water, Part 3

Hello,

Drilling is ongoing here in Marigat, Kenya.





Please continue to pray for favour in the eyes of God so that we can get this water.

In the pictures you can see that people and animals really need water here.

Ostriches foraging.
Traditional village huts.
Even goats need to eat and drink.
A woman carries home her water in big yellow buckets. This is a common sight here in Kenya.
A motorbike is a good mode of transportation here in Kenya especially in the hilly parts of the country where it is harder to ride a bicycle.
A  lunch of chapati and tea.


I've been here in Marigat for a few days now helping to oversee the water project. I can't wait for water to be located and the well to be completed so that the people of Marigat can at last be blessed by the gift of clean water. I will be here for a few days more to see that this water project is a success, Also pray for me as I had some little problem with my skin in the heat today though I seem to be okay now.

Marigat Well


Hello,

These are the few pictures of well drilling that is ongoing here in Marigat, Kenya.

I will be sending more pictures when I get a better internet
connection that is able to upload more pictures at once.

Nonetheless it has been a great few days that we had here so far.




In the pictures you can see that we had to go through mud and our lorries could not pass. In the end it had to pulled by another lorry.

Altogether we will have 3 big lorries and 1 land rover for the work of digging the well.




Have a great day.

TEA Confernce in Limuru, Kenya

Hello,


I am attending a TEA conference here in Limuru, Kenya at St. Paul's University.





We are currently learning various dimensions of theologies and today i was fortunate to learn a few things.





That is


everyone has a theology or belief in something


we divided these into 2:


formal - through - ur church/school, university
informal- handed over thru' generations.




This was one of the greatest lessons for me and I did appreciate so much this learning and scope.

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

Politics, Povety and Prayer Conference

This is another day at the conference here in Nairobi, the conference that is sponsored partially by http://a-asr.org/






Today we had great presentations and later my friend Dr. Eliot Toffa from Zimbabwe, who works at the University of Swaziland had to leave.

I will miss him so much as we were the 'young' scholars together at the conference.    We had lunch and dinner together almost the whole time he was here at the conference.





I showed him around Nairobi, before he went to Hotel Jaffers for a rest before his long flight tomorrow morning.


He has invited me to the Kingdom of Swaziland and I hope to visit him at the university there soon.


Enjoy the pictures
