God’s extraordinary work is most often done by ordinary people in the
seeming obscurity of a home and family.” Neal A Maxwell
News from Kenya
KITALE | Bro Martin Chemiati
I would like to thank you for your comforting
letter. It gave me a very courageous and
wonderful message. Although my partner has
fallen asleep and I am now 60 years old, I wish
to continue preaching and teaching this
wonderful message to others.
We in Kenya are facing a very critical situa-
tion, for politics are very unstable and can
cause chaos. Because of this, I would like reas-
surance that Jesus’ return is near. I am very
sure that everybody will witness our Lord’s
return.
I have been visiting Colleges and Secondary
Schools teaching with the NEV Bible, and the
commentaries give good notes. Now I have one
professor who is very good to me, and I appre-
ciate being heard by such a person. I baptized
9 people during 2015 and now I hope to
baptise 5 people who need NEV Bibles. May
the Lord bless us all.
SHIMO LA TEWA | Bro Anthony Wafula
I would like to thank CAT for all the literature
you sent me: it is a great help to my Ecclesia,
especially the Kiswahili New Testament.
These are excellent books with a great spiri-
tual message. May God bless you by expanding
and adding more funds for your work and I
trust you will be able to continue feeding us
with the great messages from the Bible.
If it is God’s will to delay to send His Son to
establish His Kingdom on this earth, we pray
He will open doors for you to publish a full
Kiswahili Bible, so that we will be assisted
more as we read with guidance from the Bible
Planner.
We need teaching aids for the Sunday School.
Please help our children to respect the Word
of God and to know it. We are working hard to
make sure that all our Ecclesial members will
grow in knowledge of the Word of God. Let us
all pray and wait for the return of Jesus Christ.
KENYA - MAJOR REFUGEE PROBLEM
The Kenya Government generously provided
two big refugee camps for 600,000 refugees.
The Government has now decided to close
these two camps which means these refugees
will have to go elsewhere.
Many organizations have strongly protested
about this, but Kenya Government are main-
taining their position. It would seem the
underlying reasons are that economically
they cannot continue to afford them. There
has been violence in the camps; owing to lack
of international support food allowances
have been reduced. They are suspected of
being breeding grounds for AL-Shabaab
terrorists. Whilst living in the camps some of
the refugees work locally which reduces
employment opportunities for native
Kenyans, causing unrest. The census of July
2016 shows the current rate of unemploy-
ment for Kenyans is 25% with no reduction
forecast for the future, added to which
possible economic implications of Britex are
causing concern.
