NEWS FROM KENYA
BUNGOMA | Bre Dan and Hannington
We got the Bibles you gave us and we are so grateful. We also thank you for the advice you gave us. We have already communicated with the other Christadelphians and for this we know we will grow in the Lord.
CHWELE | Bro Jacob and Sis Phoebe Buyela and children
Thank you for the study books which you have sent to me. The book about James has good lessons, information and advice and at the same time gives references to other scripture from Genesis to Revelation. Therefore I read and am satisfied and am thankful for your advice. The family also appreciate the good Bibles and books.
Whatever the case, God-fearing ones need not carry their burdens alone. In his prayer Solomon has in mind the individual worship and approaching God in heartfelt prayer. Perhaps Solomon recalls that his father David when greatly distressed, said Throw your burdens upon God. Psalm 55:4,22.
CHWELE | Bro James Waliaula
I would like to thank you for the great work in the Lords vineyard. This is really encouraging as it continues to build our faith.
Wendy Waliaula
This is my daughters photo. She is five years old and her basic need which comes first is medicine. She goes to school four kilometres away and her attendance is very irregular just because of her weakness. We work hard through our prayers to see that she is living in good conditions and every single shilling we make is budgeted first for medication and medical check-ups and fare.
ELDORET | Bro Jacob Okoth
It is with great pleasure that we take the opportunity to exalt our Lord Jesus Christ. His honour and love is full of grace to humankind. It has taken time to respond to your letter due to ill health of my family and my children, and you know their mother sleeps in the Lord.
I would appreciate your effort of service in the Lords vineyard. I really need booklets dealing with horticultural crops or fish, rabbit and chicken farming and also Bible Basics and NEV Bibles.
May our Lord guide you in knowing how much I am hit by terrorism, hard life and power economy here in our country.
Bro Jacob Okoth
KAMUKUYWA | Bro Patrick Wekese
Loving greetings to you in the wonderful hope we share in the Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you very much for your letter and much more for the work you are doing. May the Almighty Father bless you abundantly in your work. My prayers are that the Bible project extended and succeed in order to enable many more to come to a better understanding of the message of the Scripture.
If possible, please send me a Holy Bible, New European Version with commentary. Just one copy of that English version will be of great help to me in daily reading as we wait for our Lords return.
KIMUKUYA | Agape in Action
One of the results of the extensive work of Agape in Action at Kimukuya has been the baptism of 16 young people from Kimbilio and surrounding areas. Above are the young people that were baptised that day. Many of these young people live at Kimbilio under the care of Justus and Annette.
They have been in the sponsorship program for several years now so it was a THRILL to be able to share in this special day. Also, Elia Lloyd, daughter of Brian and Christina Lloyd who have been labouring at the school for a year with their family. Just look at the faces - they say it all!
MADIANY | Bro Gordon Ochieng
We are gladly waiting and watching to see that day when the kingdoms of this world shall become the kingdoms of our Lord Jesus Christ. He will vanquish all things political, replacing the kingdoms of men with Gods Kingdom. May His Kingdom come soon.
I want to thank CAT for the good work they are doing. I am a brother, having been in the faith since 1987 when I was baptised. I am the ecclesial elder in my area and we are standing steadfast, holding tight that which we have received from God through His Holy Word, the Bible.
I am requesting your office to send me, 1) some old copies of Gospel News, 2) Bibles in English, 3) the Testimony magazine and any relevant publication that can help our brothers and sisters learn more about Gods work at home and abroad. We have an ecclesial library but we still lack books or pamphlets that can inspire even our friends to read further and some to know the Truth. Also I am asking if you can get a copy of the works of our pioneer brothers Robert Roberts and John Thomas, kindly send me any, but the one I need most is Elpis Israel. It is true that Christendom has gone astray from the sound doctrines. Now, when the foundations are shaken what should the righteous do? Remain steadfast and vigilant while appreciating the benefit of fellowshipping together by sharing the Lords table.
We are just experiencing short rains after a long spell of drought and are busy preparing the kitchen garden for planting.
NAITIRI | Bro Nasongo Haron
Recently I received a book entitled A World Waiting to be Wonby Bro Duncan Heaster. We have begun reading it in a group of three. It is very interesting and has inspiring ideas to build the foundation for strong Christians, not only a Christadelphian but any person who comes across this book, for motivating, building and strengthening their Christian life. Pictured here is Bro Nasongo Haron.
SINDO | Bro. John Owalo Onani
I am happy that what God requires from us is not money but being faithful, obedient to the Truth, listening to Gods voice, to have a good relationship with the Heavenly Father, to love Him with all our mind and heart and to love our fellow human beings, walking with the Lord every day. Micah 6:8, Deut 10:12,13, Eccl 12:13-14.
God wants us to fear Him and keep His commandments because whatever good or bad we do is written in the book of life. Why are we weak to respond to what our Father in heaven wants? The Bible reveals that our mind, thought and heart is evil, corrupt and deceitful. Jer 17:9.
I therefore exhort my brothers and sisters in the world to be strong and courageous and read the Word of God daily for spiritual growth (Joshua 1:8). Every minute, hour, second, day, week, year, whatever you do is in the book. If you sit down and think of murder like Cain you will be a murderer, but if you think of lovely thoughts like Abel you will be righteous and God will accept you in the Kingdom. (Gen 4, John 3:11,12).
SHIMO LA TEWA | Bro Anthony Wafula
A really big thank you for the Bibles and other literature which are a real treasure and we always look forward to Gospel News.
We have recently baptised another six brothers and three Sisters and they all need Bibles, as its not always convenient to share a Bible, so please do your utmost to help us with these Bibles. We have learnt a lot through the comments in the Bibles and your literature which have helped us very much in making further converts to Jesus. We are certainly living in the last days and at any time Jesus will come, but as we do not know the day or the hour we have to strive to always be ready for Him. We struggle to convert people from various churches, Catholics. S.D.A., Salvation Army etc and try to help them to repent and be saved before it is too late. The photos show us using the precious Bibles.
