Ministering to School Children with Friends From USA

Hello


We had a great time yesterday with visits to two schools.
All these schools are so good that a child would want to stay there forever.

We had to walk almost a mile to reach one of the primary schools. It was quite a challenge, as the road is not passable. 

We took our lunch on the road ...near the school, and it was so much fun.

Otherwise enjoy the pictures, continue to pray for the needs here..especially the SHOES for the dear ones here. 

God bless

Shoes, Shoes

Hello,


I have friends from the United States who are visiting Africa for the first time (two of them), and we are visiting orphanages and schools.

One of the biggest challenge so far is the issue of shoes. Most of the students in the schools we are visiting have no shoes, and have never seen a computer. This really puzzles me. We are still far away from getting into the 21st century here in Kenya.

Any one reading this, please pray about this great needs: SHOES SHOES



Have a great day.
God bless

Evangelizing the Youth in Bomet, Kenya

Hello,

This morning we travelled to a place very near to Bomet to do a sports crusade. 

We had earlier prepared for soccer balls (courtesy of our friend from Uganda) and trophies from far and wide.

We planned the event for about 2 months and we are glad to see a big, big success in this project. 

Tonight we are having a 'cinema' and tomorrow morning we will have church. Then later in the afternoon, we will have the finals of the soccer team and volleyball games. 

This event drew many young people who would rather have been spending their weekends in not so productive ways if we did not host a sports event. This ministry drew close to a thousand young people who turned up. What a blessing!

Continue to pray for us as we expect miracles; especially salvation to those who are not already saved.


God bless

Church Building & Fundraising

We had a great time at the church yesterday.

We had also some fundraising and we raised about $700. This will help towards laying the cement floor of the church. We need 40 bags of cement and some sand -- don't know how much sand.  You can read more about our long time church building program here.

Continue to pray for us too as we plan to buys pews soon.  Each pew costs about $15 US. Right now we are sitting on slabs of wood.  Afterwards the children had sugar cane as a treat.

Have a great day and God bless

Women and their Plight

This morning I was called by the gate man to tell me of some guests who were directed towards my office.  I asked who they were and I was told some women and children. I stopped what I was doing and headed to there. Reaching the gate and after looking at the women, I knew they were displaced, kicked out of their homes, etc.

I sat down and listened to their plight. The old woman claims her daughter died and left her a baby 3 months old to raise. The other woman said she has 3 children and she fears they will die of starvation. They both gave varied reasons, for their problems.

What a challenge! Poor people, vulnerable, shoe less, no phones, no M-PESA (money transfer service) and illiterate. The kids are not going to school.

We could not sent them away like that.....so we had to give them some food and other essentials as they are most urgently needed.

Would you consider praying for them? I want these kids to go to school.


God bless

Another Gathering of Amahoro has Ended

I have been at the Amahoro Conference all week (May 3-8, 2010) in Mombasa, Kenya along with some of my pastoral colleagues. It was fantastic.

What a great time we had this year. We renewed contacts from other Amahoro gatherings and also met many new faces. The atmosphere of Amahoro - peace /shalom was wonderful. The theme of the conference this year was conservation of our environment.

Not only did I enjoy meeting new folks but also also really enjoyed the sea breeze and overall the lovely time we had there. We had an opportunity to go on a field trip in keeping with the conference theme.

I am heading home now, and will sent some of personalities that touched our lives there via these photographs.

Pray for the safe journey home of all those who attended.
Have a great day
God bless
