CHANGES ARE ON THE WAY - AGAIN!

HERE WE ARE AGAIN!  Yes, it IS a photo taken from Testimony School Gate, of the roof of Old Jacaranda Cottage.    To the right, out of the picture, is the Day Care Centre.     THIS is what is slowly taking shape as the new Girl's Hostel.     Alterations are on the way, and here we can see the old dorma windows roofed in prior to a complete repaint.     Interiorally this roof comprises open space, plus 3 bedrooms.     However, in future it will be used for storage, and PERHAPS, a kind of semi permanent Team Base for the Tyndale School Teams coming out from Adelaide, Australia each year.
You might ask why block in the windows?    Well they have always been a trouble, in that they have posed a security risk as well as an unsightly provision.      As a Store and Team Centre it will probably only see real use for ten days a year.  It is wired for lighting.     Access will now be from the spiral staircase that used to be inside.   This will now be re-sited outside the Entrance (left , out of the picture).   AND on the FAR side, again beyond our view, are the two dormitories, and the warden's bed/sitting room, facing towards the New Jacaranda Cottage.
UNDER THE ROOF, and out of view behind the hedge, will be the kitchen/dining/ and toilet/ ablutions,    (The smaller photo shows the Dining room wall (left) facing on to the side of the Ablutions Area.    A lot of restoration work on the sewerage plumbing has also had to be done and is still to be completed.
The photo to the right is taken from what will be the Wardens quarters down the existing passage way leading to the two dormitories on the right, and dining room, kitchen on the left, as one goes out.  THEN to the left shows where the spiral staircase once was (see gap in ceiling), and some of the storage area that will be re-sited under the roof above.      The last photo, right is of the interior of the ablutions area.    It has to be totally refurbished and restored.    It accommodates four showers and toilets plus hand basins and mirrors;
There is direct access from the what was the old Dining room (now to be sitting and dining room) and also from the Wardens quarters.     Quite a lot of work, but it should be completed mid June.

Work on the Bakery, and the Poultry Unit, will also be taking off next week,

=========================================== 

ABOVE IS A RECENT PHOTO OF THE NEWLY ELECTED 6TH ARCHBISHOP OF THE ANGLICAN CHURCH IN KENYA,   The Most Rev. Jackson Ole Sapit.    A BIG man for a BIG job.

The Archbishop is 52 years old, and now faces the task of being Shepherd to more than 5 million Kenyans within his Church denomination.     He stands well over six feet tall, and appears to be, at least physically, a very formidable

man of what has been a very outspoken and Evangelical Communion.

The Most Rev. Jackson  Ole Sapit

My Prayers have to be very much FOR this man; that he might be strong against  all the unright-eousness of the world in which we live, and indeed within Kenya herself.   Visually he makes me feel we have a strong man - a giant - come to lead his people.      We hope he will indeed live up to his appearance, for we live in times when we need men of power and strength in the Spirit of God to rise up in these darkening days.   Pray for this man. He is to be enthroned in Nairobi in All Saints Cathedral on the 3rd June.

WE ARE ALL WELL, but looking as always unto Jesus the Author and Finisher of our Faith.

May He ever be with you all, keeping you our of the hands of the enemy of our soul.

Lovingly as ever

John. Esther and Daryl.
