JUST A GLIMPSE into Green 
Cottage, dressed for Christmas.  We did this on the 16th, and the rest of our four family homes also began to notice Christmas on that day.
On the 18th we had our usual Christmas Concert in the evening; a good hour's entertainment that drew attention to the reason behind the Birth of Jesus.    Francis Lahol, who together with his wife Eunice care for the Drakeley Cottage Family, was the one who produced and directed the Drama and also set up some really good Choir pieces and Dances.    As usual members of the public attended, and it was chalked up as one of the very best concerts we have ever put on - all due to the very committed an dedicated effort of more than forty of our children and young people from the four Homes.    We were Blessed, and Christ was Uplifted.  During the day we welcomed Tammy from Tyndale School in South Australia (here for Purity's Wedding, and also Hendrika and her friend Terry from Denver in the U.S..    During the evening Concert we also welcomed home for Christmas Helen (Tweety-pie) and baby Abigail.  

TO DAY was also the Wedding Day of Purity from Testimony House, and now teaching in our Nursery School.    Purity is marrying John.     Practically the whole of the Homes attended (children and staff) and of course Esther and I were there to see it all Esther and I had been Mum and Dad in Testimony House when Purity and other of her family were admitted to our care in the 1990s.   Purity was only five years old when she joined us; the baby of the family. So, of course, she wanted us to 'Giver her Away', and we did so with much joy and thanksgiving for her life and Testimony in Christ,    Purity has two brothers (Ignatius and Masmandus) and also one sister (Shiela).  


AND TODAY Purity married John in Grace Church, Eldoret.     A love match indeed, and with all her Testimony Family around her she was a radiant bride.
It has been a good day for everyone,.  BUT we are all tired now.    Thus I shall close up for this week, and turn in.      Last night I was woken at 2.30p.m. to minister to a young man who wanted to finish his life.     I finally got to bed about 4p.m.    All in a days work.   Tomorrow is Church.

God BLESS you all in Jesus Name, and keep you safe in busy days ahead.     Will send Christmas Greetings and Thanksgiving.

Very sleepily

John, Esther and Daryl.
