PICTORIAL EDITION

Just to bring a few photos taken on Baptism Sunday

and also on the 49th Founders Day

Above, A photo from Baptism Sunday taken on 15th July 2018.   We usually Baptise those who have newly come to Believe in Jesus about this time annually.    The Australian Team is usually also with us, and Mike Potter, leader of the Team is seen here baptising one of our boys, with Pastor Ondanga.  We use the shallow end of the Swimming Pool for this function, and all the Homes, and School Boarders plus Church Members attend after the Morning Service has ended.    Regretfully this year I was not able to attend being unwell.

Classes for those wishing to be Baptised, commence each January under the  care of our Pastor, Wykliffe Ondanga., and continue on week by week till June.     We do not see Baptism as a ritual, but as a personal testimony of those having believed that Christ Died on the Cross for their sins.   It is their testimony of having died to sin with Christ, and risen to a new and eternal life, cleansed and forgiven. 1. Peter 3.v21 

The photo above, left, is of one of our 14 year-olds from Tyndale Cottage, Victor Omondi, who was SO blessed and excited he almost looked as if 'heaven came down, and glory filled his soul,.

NOW to the 49th Founder's Day, to which I was also prevented from attending this year.     But Esther did, and represented me as well.    It was a very good Day, and as usual, overflowingly attended by more than five hundred, parents and friends.

This year some of our swimmers put on a demonstration at the Pool, and the Guest of Honour's Party were poolside to observe and cheer, whilst others were crowding the Stadium behind.   The Guest of Honour, Bishop Patrick Waweru of Life Changing Ministries  was dressed in blue.  Esther dressed in a maroon gown.      The School has a Team of swimmers representing them at both national and international levels, and they are doing very well indeed.

To the left can be seen a few of the 100 or so Nursery children taking part in the Afternoon Concert.   They all enjoy themselves, and are usually very popular as performers!!!
They usually have about fifteen minutes to fill with dances, skits and recitations.

Immediately below them is a photo of some of our Primary School children performing a dance.  This is something they love to do at all levels, and usually they choose a dance to reflect or represent  a particular culture. 
Thus the photo to the right shows some of our older primary Asian girls in an Asian Dance - always very colourful and different.     The School welcomes students from ALL backgrounds.

 As I have mentioned we had good attendance from all the parents and friends of the School.
They usually arrive about 10 .a.m. and walk around the School, meeting teachers, viewing class work and exhibitions, until lunch time when they are offered a free sit down lunch.  Then at 2p.m. the School Concert, and Prize Giving.
The School Hall seats 400, but on this particular day it overflowed, and more than another hundred crowded at the doors and widows, until the end at around 5 p.m.  Luckily it did not rain.

During Event, between the end of the Concertand the Prize Giving, the Guest of Honour is introduced and gives a brief Address, and also the Director of Testimony Faith Homes,
now Daryl Green.
Prizes are then presented to all classes from Nursery to High School, Form 4.    It is a long day, but everyone seems to really enjoy it.

The photos to the left were taken at different times and of different sections of the hall where guests were all seated,

The photo to the right is that of Bishop Patrick Waweru of Life Changing Ministries, based here in Eldoret.  He gave a greatly blessed Address, though perhaps took
rather longer
than was anticipated.    Still very appreciated.

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

HOW DOES HE GET AWAY WITH IT?

just reading this week that President Trump stated that Her Majesty the Queen 

was LATE when he visited her for Tea.

I was unable to move that particular day and sat watching all the state antics of the day

including the live SKY coverage of the said Royal Tea Appointment.

I SAW Her Majesty enter the Castle alone, and walking through the Entrance and thence to the prepared dais and two chairs awaiting the President's arrival.

Having reached the dais she stood, waiting for 15-20 minutes BEFORE 

President Trump appeared!!

HE WAS ALSO LATE IN ARRIVING

at Blenheim !!!!

THE QUEEN is NEVER late.

MY THANKS 

to all those who have been praying for me!

In the last Blog of 26th July I mentioned we were awaiting the result of the CT Scan.

They arrived, and stated that ONE stone less was noted in the right kidney - the second one that had previously been seen seemed to have vanished - or passed unnoticed.

So now I still have one SMALL stone unwilling to move but so far not giving me 

much discomfort.

For the rest, the Scan showed that all is well with the kidneys generally, 

and that I am fit to live - as the radiologist said - for another 30 years.....!

We Praise the Lord that dwells within us, and Who is our Health.  Amen

AND THE SUN IS AT LAST SHINING, AND NOT A CLOUD TO BE SEEN.

but is is not very warm; quite cool in fact.

WE pray that the RAIN will relieve those parched and thirsty areas now being suffered

in Europe and Scandinavia.   

God Bless you all!

Our Love in Him to Everyone. 

John, Esther, and Daryl Green
