BULIMBO
I take this opportunity to write and thank you for the work you seriously undertake.  I am a new Christian convert from the Muslim doctrine.  The books you have produced have changed my life fully.  Really the truth is in the Bible, not in church doctrines.  My family members are still under Moslem law, but I decided to follow the truth that will lead me to the eternal life soon.
Bro. Saligue Bukhebi

 First of all I would like to thank you for the six free books you sent to me for the use of the church;  we are very grateful and they may be used by some members of other churches who request for them.  May our Almighty God bless you and may you continue in assisting us to proclaim the gospel news.
Bro. Emmanuel Joumer

 I thank you very much for the materials you sent to me which I received without problems.
Bro. Moses Sande Joumer

KAKAMEGA

It was so nice to hear from you and I was pleased to receive a Bible from Bro. Malcolm Cross.  I would also be pleased to receive Bible Basics in Kiswahili language.

KERICHO

I’m glad to take this opportunity to thank God for His love towards all men. My prayer is to ask God to open ways to enable brothers and sisters to continue giving support to our CBM and CAT to get more books for our library. May I also thank you for the work you are doing to assist us. Please continue serving Him because your reward is awaiting yonder
there. Time will show when our Lord Jesus Christ returns to this earth to set up God’s Kingdom.
I would like to inform you that the Lord Jesus Christ gave me chance to travel to Migori- KABABU ECCLESIA on Friday December 12, 2003. I joined our brothers and sisters there and we shared the word of God and were together in memorial services on Sunday. The Lord is good He guided me and came back safely. It is lovely for brothers and sisters to be together but because of the distance it is impossible now. We are looking forward for that time when we shall share together in the Kingdom. Please I am requesting you humbly to send to me ten copies of Bible Basics (eight in English and two in Kiswahili).   I am requesting to get preaching materials because the work is wide and I look for good reports in the future.

Time is passing by and we are still waiting for our Saviour, Jesus Christ, who we expect soon to establish the Kingdom here on earth.  Our hope is that we shall be among those who shall inherit that precious Kingdom.  All over the world everyone is praying for peace and harmony.  Kenya is trying to maintain peace, but still cases of political instability are reported.  My fellow Brothers and Sisters here in Kenya are all right, despite the day-to-day problems in people’s lives.  May we meet soon in the Kingdom of God.
Bro. Gideon Mukeku

KIMILILI         
I would like to offer myself to the service of spreading the gospel of God.  I am a student aged 18 and  have felt so much inspired by your letter, which is indeed a call from God, that is why I have written to inform you that I am ready for the work. Please note my address.
Bro. Isaac Wabuge

KITALE
I am thankful for you remembering me and sending me some more cards accompanied with booklets and leaflets to help me and the ecclesia.  We pray that God will make you wise in preparing such material to support our faith.  I am also thankful for Gospel News from which I am gaining knowledge through the views of Brethren and Sisters from all over the world.  I saw my article about the commandments;  I am pleased you have fulfilled all that you said in your letter. There are three interested friends who are in need of Bible Basics.  If you can please send them to me, it would be better if we had the Kiswahili translation, because it is the language understood in our area.  My acknowledgement goes to my tutor, Bro. J.T. Waycott, who is now aged; he is helping me with Lukosi ecclesia.
Bro. Joseph Katasi

 I hope you are fine in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ just as I am with my family and all other members of Kitale ecclesia. Thank you very much for the books sent, they are really helping us to understand many things, which we had only a vague idea about.  At the same time they are helping us to walk towards God’s Kingdom. We are praying to the Lord to give you strength so that you can continue spreading the gospel.
Bro Peter Weksa

KOBUJOI
In the past I have had some problems with my P.O. Box, but Bro. Trevor has been helping me.
Bro. Geoffrey Chirchir

LUKOSI
I am very happy writing to you to thank you for the work you are doing in helping us in the ecclesia. You sent Bible Basics and added other interesting booklets, leaflets and some cards to make us wise in the word of God – particularly myself, I found my faith being built up through understanding.

MARALAL
I’m very thankful for your letter enclosing a booklet for more encouragement concerning the soon coming of our Master, Jesus, and the events seen, fulfilling foretold prophecy.  The Scripture says, “For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord: I will put my laws into their minds and in their hearts also will I write them, and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people.  And they shall not teach every man his fellow citizen, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord, for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest of them. My wife, Sis. Judine, passes you warm and loving greetings in the truth, with the great hope of enjoying soon the coming of our Master, Jesus Christ.
Bro. Joseph Opiyo Nuani

MBITA
I am so grateful to receive from you, and thanks a lot for the work you are doing; may our God Almighty, together with His Son, multiply blessings to you.  On my side, we are just OK, both spiritually and practically, except that we are experiencing some hardship because of famine.  Just to request any book concerning Islam and some copies of Bible Basics in Kiswahili, if available.  I send my hearty gratitude to all of you  who spend hours in publishing this Gospel News which enables us to know the problems and blessings of Brothers and Sisters world-wide.  I am so happy to fellowship with Brethren of Kababu since July 2003 to date.  I truly admire the courage of my Brothers in Nyandenga ecclesia (in the picture) and other isolated Brothers and Sisters, at such great cost to themselves.

Since 2001 up to March 2003 we have been learning the Bible, through studying it.  In April 2003, we became Brother and Sister, i.e. my wife, Sara, and I were baptised.  Through Bible study the relationship between us has really improved.  Surely the Bible has added happiness to our family, this is through reading chapters like Gen. 2:24-25, Ps. 45:10 and Matt. 19:5.  1 Peter 3:1-9 has shown us that the word of God brings peace. I personally would like to thank you for sending GOSPEL NEWS.  I have been sharing it with Sis. Sara and it’s real good; it makes us know much about other Brothers and Sisters world wide, e.g. March/April 2003 issue page 1, where there is a unique picture.  Such pictures make people (myself included) understand that the gospel and GOSPEL NEWS is for all races in the world.  May God bless you.

NDALU
Thank you for sending me Bible Basics in Kiswahili and other literature.  Let us look at what God is doing among people and nations for the preparation of our Lord Jesus Christ’s return and rule.
Bro. Johnstone Kaliwanga

SINDO
Please try to serve me: We have a Brother, Richard Olang, who was baptised in 1973, who has a son learning in USA, and he would like him to be sent Bible Basics in English and, if possible, to be put into contact with any Brethren in the US to learn more about our faith.  I am getting on well in the faith and we still maintain our Memorial service.
Bro. John Owalo Onani

TONGAREN
May God our Lord do miracles so that the gospel can spread all over the world through native languages.  As Jesus said, that gospel should be preached to the whole world and then the end will come. Preaching the gospel through native languages is surely a sign that the end will soon come

 I want to thank God for giving you the will to spread the word world over.  The kind of change you have inspired in people through this will be rewarded.  I congratulate you, too, for the literature you sent to me late last year, all received; I am strongly assured that it is going to have a great impact in the lives of many people who will want to share it with me.
Bro. Moses Wafula
