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...
p.s something that kept my mind thinking, was him asking me last week for a good Bible..., and i had promised him to give to him this week, when my friends head back hom back to Trinidad...

The new Bible he asked me to give him

TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO TEAM- #3 Internally dispaced people visit (IDP's)

Visiting the Internally Dispaced people (IDP) were the most touching moments of our trip here with the team,...as the Scripture says we need to provide the food for both the body and the soul, we did that. We purchased the food and presented to each tent, but we had other people from other tents, coming and asking to be considered too...., we distributed clothes , and shared the Gospel...of forgiveness, and love for one another.Sharing the Gospel

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.

The team from Trinidad and Tobago made safely to Kenya, they are twenty five in number and are very excited....actually this is their home continent as they were taken many many years ago through slavery to the Islands of the carribean. They are so excited to help here and give back what the Lord has blessed them in the other lands ....where they were taken 200-300 years ago.
They are not looking back at those painful experiences but they thank God for giving them an opportunity to serve ..wherever he Leads....

HARVESTING - PRAISE GOD

we are praising God for the Great harvest in my part of Kenya. The Lord has really blessed us with rain and the grops have responded with good yields. We are going to store some and give out to missions some of it. We do know we need to help others who did not harvest alot this year.

Continue praying for rain in other parts of Kenya
