Bi-Monthly Newsletter From The Charity
Every other month we plan to provide an up-to-date newsletter concerning the work in Kenya. Click on the links below to access the latest newsletters, with the most recent at the top of the list. We also summarise a paragraph from recent news that we are keen to highlight for encouragement and prayer.
Milton Sairote
Barnabas Olare was trained at the Pastors College in Nairobi more than 15 years ago, and has been labouring faithfully as a gospel minister in Mombasa. He is committed to the work of training men for the ministry in his own context through the Wisdom Training Centres (WTCs) set up with his brother. We have been supporting one of those men, called Milton Sairote (pictured below). Barnabas has written the following message to TRAIN(Kenya) about Milton (this is part of his letter to us):
Milton has just started his second year of studies at the Trinity Pastors College in Nairobi, and is doing well. He is up to date with his assignments, and his growth as a Christian is steady.
We are very encouraged by the progress he is making, and we continue to have every expectation that he will be a useful addition to the gospel ministry team here. Besides his studies, brother Milton is serving as deacon in our Church, along with another dear brother. He is also participating in the ministry of the word, and is clearly a gifted handler of the word of God. Even more importantly, he is an exemplary brother, very biblical and godly.
Like any young man his age, Milton is thinking about the next steps in his life and ministry development. He hopes to rent a house of his own (currently, he stays at church where he also serves as caretaker), and start preparing for when the Lord might bring someone in his life. His long-term plan is to eventually go back to his native County of Migori to plant a church, but in the immediate and medium term, we plan to have him serve with us even after he completes his studies next year.
Please pray, (1) That the Lord will grant him more boldness, he struggles with anxiety and stage fright sometimes. This may be due to his past experience with stammering, which the Lord has largely helped him out of-it is hardly noticeable, but I think it still lingers in his mind. (2) That he will cope well with the pressure of work at school. They are required to submit certain amounts of work every week, and sometimes he feels overwhelmed. (3) That the Lord will give him wisdom as he thinks about the future, and that as his responsibilities expand and needs increase the Lord will provide for him.
