Sheep greeted us as we visited this friend of mine, we graduated together, about 6 or so years. i was happy to meet them after a while, as it seems everyone has been very busy.
my friend is doing well, in every aspect, good land, lots of animals, and mature spiritually.

one thing only misses, they have not been blessed with children. Continue to pray for this couple as they trust on the Lord....i miss this folks, and wish them the best of all...please pray with us so that this family can have a child.
Blessings

Peace manual-PHD Seminar


hello we had a great time at the PHD Seminar in Nairobi. the institute that deals with African realities ISAR was our host.
http://www.africanrealitiesinstitute.com/about/purpose.html

we were invited for this meeting that is going to write a book/manual to be used in peace building in Africa, the only available books were old time and cannot fit into the system as of now...as new challenges have come,
So as African scholars it was great time to start a new book to face the realities here. we spend a week on this study, we are planning to go back to review the book before it is massed produced.
World vision/ngst.edu help us in providing food, but we had to provide transport to and from Nairobi which quite a challenge for us, but is a good sacrifice, as we feel we are of what is going to happen here.


i loved this train
it looks long
The book that is used now, it was written 4 years ago

Hi, the Death of Elizabeth, was so painful, but she fought hard to see that she could say her last words to her children, who are now orphaned. She cried for her last daughter who is right now a teenager, and ask everyone who could hear that she be taken care of. Please pray for her, her name is cherono. Many people attended, continue to pray for the family. they are such a people who Love God.

Accident takes a long time friend

in meeting last week (sitting infront with red-tie)

hello, am mourning with many others Paul arap Chepkwony died in a crissly road accident two days ago....,

Continue to pray for his family, He was the head teacher of LELU High school in Kipkelion. I will miss him so much, He has been a kind man and He loved young people so much. i have worked closely with him in students affairs (going to schools, peer mediation etc) for over 8 years. Pray for his wife and kids, his last born is about 5 yrs or so...and the other are in university..almost graduating...

TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO TEAM -1 GIFT OF THE WELL

The Prayer has been answered..no more fights and fights from rival communities for water. After the inspection of the site of the well and prayer....and walking a small distance...Debbie, the young gal from Trinidad said she will extend her hand in helping this tribe...to get water. It was a moving time of prayer for us, and we all thank God in different ways, crying, praising, jumping and dancing as u can see the Maasai down here, and many more .....we look fwd to seeing clean children, and irrigation of the farms....,

i must confess that i have taken 'potential' people to visit this site ..who we thought will help..but am Glad the Lord has answered us ......not thru' writing proposals etc, but He just send to us HIS daughter to us to help us . Praise God with us.
