Ken and Eunice in Kenya - update May 2008

We thank you so much for your continued support and prayers. God has been so faithful to us as a family and also as a team.

The School opened last week and we are glad to have all the teachers and students back in good health—we are praying for a fruitful second term.

Eunice is back from Uganda where she had attended meetings on a training called “Cross roads”---this is training on behavioral change among the youth. It was a great success.

Thank God with us for the community who have given us 30 acres of land for high School. We are not paying anything for this other than the normal government fees charged for surveying, gazetment and other documentation costs. Even though this is a Muslim community, they have seen our contribution in improving education standards amongst their children and they would want us to embark on high school also—thank God that even those that have been fiercely resisting us are becoming great allies in advocating for us to have more land. God is able to direct the hearts of kings just like a water course—to him be the glory!.

We are still trusting God to come through for us so we can finish repairs of classes and fencing the compound---the flood really wrecked havoc here

This week, we will be starting a three months course in evangelism and discipleship. This training is called New Life Training Curriculum (NLTC). Members of different churches here have been requested to join the training. I have decided to include Muslim evangelism course as part of this program. For the next three months, Trainers and Trainees will be going out to share the gospel as part of the practical.
