Dear
friends and fellow co workers in Christ
We
come before you today with a thankful heart. Again God has been good to us.
Last time we
wrote about camp preparations for the kids with our visitors from Poland, and I want to testify that we all had a
wonderful time. Team of 8 people who came sacrificing their time and
money in order to teach and preach the gospel of Jesus Christ in our
small school and left Kenya some weeks ago. All of them went home with a
new experience they gained here in Kwademu. I am sure if we were to
ask them, everyone would have something unique to say.
We
would like to say also thank you to those who prayed for us, for the
team and all the work which was going on here. Big thanks to the
whole team, well done.
Every
single person put some impact on the kids, none of them complain
even once though the circumstances sometimes were not the best. The
attitude they all had I would say it is the same attitude Christ had: humility, servant hood, obedience, patience, love... All what the
bible teaches us today especially in Philippians 2: 5-11.Kids loved it, we did not expected such a turn out. The camp took place during holiday but still most of the kids came back to school eager to learn and hear the gospel.
There was so much going on, kids did so much craft too, played games and had fun . Some parents and teachers came to help translating, cleaning after lessons without their help it would be difficult, but God took care of every single part.
If you remember well, we also wrote about nursery which we started to build. Now I am happy to say we are done most of it, remain plastering outside, small finishing and paintings in and out.
When I look back I still remember how we began this ministry, trusting and hoping God for bigger things. Nothing much we had, but His word was our shield and accelerator to keep going. I have to say without God's grace we would not reach where we are today.
Many times we look for excuses saying we can't do this, we are to weak, we don't have resources, we don't know the way, we are afraid of taking the step of faith... simply just to escape from the task BUT I say„ this little we say is much when God is in it”. We must not believe that our resources are too little to serve God for He delights in taking such humble person and uses him/her for His glory. God is ready to use ordinary things to create extraordinary things. Question is - are we ready?
„God
chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, God chose what
is weak in the world to shame the strong” 1 Corinthian 1;27
And because He did things which were almost impossible for human mind, here we are saying today to you
„Shout
with joy to the Lord, all the earth
Worship
the Lord with gladness,
Come
before Him, singing with joy
Acknowledge that the Lord is God...
...Enter
his gates with thanksgiving
go
into his court with praise
Give
thanks to Him and praise his name.
For
the Lord is good” Psalm 100
Mirka
and Henry Kalume
