NEWS FROM KENYA

KISUMU | Bro Richard Oduma

We are doing well spiritually in Kisumu despite the restriction of law through our Kenyan government that we cannot access things happening in our own country via the media.

Let me take this wonderful opportunity on behalf of the entire Kisumu Ecclesia to say thank you to the Trust for their support of our project of caring for the street kids, a wonderful success in early 2015. We fully appreciate this help and may our Heavenly Father bless all those concerned. Gradually, our work is really changing the character of these kids and we have managed to baptize some others too. We are looking forward to baptizing others soon if our Master still remains away.

KITALI | Bro Martin Chemiati

We are very pleased to have received more Swahili Bibles which are so important to our members, especially to our Youth and the Sisters class. We need more for our Ecclesia and the new Ecclesia recently established in Bavato, the teachings from the NEV Bibles has widened the eyes of many people and changed their lives. Some for several years have gone on without really knowing the Truth, but now do though the NEV Bibles.

LURAMBI | Bro Martin Chemiati

I am sure that when our Lord returns we shall meet together. We are happy that you sent us the New Testament Bibles and I have sent you a picture of part of Lurambi Ecclesia which I would like to be printed. Please, kindly send me 12 more Bibles.

The Ecclesia has asked me to request also that you send us more Bibles, especially the whole Bible, which will make us very happy.

RAPOGI | Bro Mike GO Juma

I am fine and my family. I have not regretted the service that I render to the Lord. I am always ready to confess and repent of my sins. May you forgive me for staying silent for quite a long time. I had some unavoidable commitments that could not allow me to communicate.

SHIMO LA TEWA | Bro Anthony Kafula

We send much greetings from our Ecclesia. We are all fine in the Name of Our Master, who is helping us day and night.

I would like to apologize for delaying replying but all in all God is good who guides us from last year unto this year 2015, the year we expect His Son to return to this earth and establish God’s Kingdom.

For our church we are very happy to hear that you are going to assist us with the Kiswahili New Testament Bible. May God bless you and open your doors and treasury. I have received 25 requests - from brothers and sisters (13), friends who are about to be baptized this year, God willing, (5), youths (4), Sunday School scholars, (3). These will assist them to read and understand the Scriptures. Thank you for feeding us with spiritual food through sending us Bible Basics , Middle East pamphlets and Gospel News.

The visitors came from Canada and America and have sponsored more than 40 children in Tongaren. For this action we will always praise God. Those in school uniforms are sponsored candidates now learning in high school. On their knees are Bro Isaac Kapa and Nancy, his sister-wife. In our ecclesia we have started an academy of pre-primary school known as “A.A. ACADEMY”.

SONGHOR | Bro Alex Abuya

We acknowledge with grateful thanks the Kiswahili versions we have received and may the Almighty God bless you in this wonderful work as we continue to wait for the return of Our Lord Jesus.

TURBO | Bro Emmanuel Milimo

I am so sad to inform you that Beatrice my wife, who is a sister, fell asleep 4th December 2014 due to the breast cancer. I am hoping that we are going to meet on the day of resurrection soon.

I am very thankful for the New Testaments. These will be very helpful to our youth and others who cannot understand English. We are praying that God will give you long life so that you can complete the whole Bible soon. Brothers and sisters are very happy even though I would like you to send me greetings monthly.

I would also like you to pray for me so that God can help me with young ones that our Sister Beatrice has left me with.
