Students in Nakuru

Visiting Nakuru in Kenia is always a wonderful experience. Situated beside the Nakuru Lake with its thousands of flamingos, it is on the route to Kisumu and eventually Uganda.
The students of this school are very enthusiastic about their training. The average percentage of the students in this class is 85%. For the duration of the school in Nakuru we stay in the Kunste Hotel and are transported to the class by a student who pastors a church in Nairobi. As it is, he is also a coffee farmer.

Updates

Recently, I had the privilege of ministering at the Upper Room Family Church in Nairobi, where Pastor John Sadera is the Pastor. I shared a Bible Study on the subject of Thanksgiving and then during the second service, the topic of my message was “ My Job is my Ministry.”

Our first AFMIN On10School for 2010, was held for 5 days in Mombasa at the beginning of February. Here I ministered on the subject of Interpersonal Relationships.

Please take special note that the 2nd school to be held in Mombasa this year, has been moved from July 2010 and will be held from Monday 18th - Friday 22th October.

The Alumni Summit will be held in Nakuru from Tuesday 13th – Thursday 15th April 2010. Guest speakers will include Karel Sanders, Zede Govender, Thamo Naidoo, Alexander Chisango, Frans du Plessis and Kobus Swart.

Although our ministry entered East Africa through Tanzania, Kenya will always have a special place in out hearts. While our late daughter Tanya, was critically ill, the people of Kenya continually prayed for her healing. And they did not stop praying, until the day she passed away.

Our first visit to Kenya took place in 1998 when we presented an AFMIN On10 school at the Rift Valley for Science and Technology in Nakuru. I ministered on the topic of Praise and Worship as a lifestyle. Since then, we have presented seminars for church leaders in Nairobi, Nakuru, Kisumu and Mombasa. In January 2007, Alta and I resigned from our position as fulltime pastors in a church in Cape Town, South Africa, so as to give our full attention to training for church leaders. We work under the umbrella of African Ministries Network Leadership Institute (AFMIN), whose vision it is to see a trained pastor in every church in Africa.
