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.
Church Planting in Githongo
Githongo is a small centred on the eastern slopes of Mt. Kenya. Geoffrey Muriuki is seeking to church plant in this developed area where we certainly do not know of other Reformed Churches. Geoffrey is a High School teacher who became a member of Miathene Trinity Baptist Church some years back and then was appointed an elder with Joseph Mucheru. He was transferred to a school at Githongo and instead of travelling the 20+ miles each Sunday it was decided that he should church plant there. He began meetings in a tea room, which was not always open when needed! We have given money for the renting of a room for 6 months and the purchase of 20 chairs.
On a personal note, the photo is a recent one of Geoffrey, with a 95 year old brother David Mutembei, in the same Githongo area. I first met David in 1968 when I went to be a teacher in Miathene. He was a convert from the late 1940s and the East African Revival. He introduced me to the Revival ‘Brethren’ with whom I had very close ties of fellowship in the 2+ years I was teaching. We prayed together, studied the Bible together, and even had a safari into remote unevangelized north Kenya together.
We send help quarterly. This covers the monthly expenditures and also the special gifts as detailed above. We wish to thank you for the support without which we could not give this help. We pray that the money will be properly used and will promote the cause of the Gospel and be of great blessing to the brethren.
