Karibu Kenya: 2013

11 November 2013

Combining Two Schools...

Nakuru is a big city. We are in our 3rd School, which altogether have stretched over about 10 years and now it seems that they need a rest because the students do not come there anymore. Not all come from Nakuru but many students also come from other areas such as Kisumu, Naivasha, Eldoret, Nairobi and even from the North Eastern regions of Kenya. So we held a last School in Nakuru and have transferred the students to the School in Mombasa. The first combined School with the students from Nakuru and Mombasa, will be held in November 2013. Mombasa is normally a big school but the attendance dropped somewhat. However, with the students from Nakuru joining this School, we are aiming for 80 regular attendees.

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.
