Since this photo  was taken, a further FIVE years has gone by 

IT'S TIME FOR ANOTHER

TESTIMONY GET TOGETHER!!!

'Let us consider and give attentive, continuous care to watching over one another,
studying how we can stir up (stimulate and incite) to love and helpful deeds and noble activities.
NOT FORSAKING
or neglecting to assemble together, but admonishing
 (warning, urging and encouraging) one another all the more
as you see the Day approaching 
HEBREWS 10v24-5 
How time has flown, and gone by.     We wonder, has it been the same for you at home, where you are.    I am sure we have all had good and bad times, and sunny as well as often sad and difficult times.      For us the most trying moments have been in the taking away from us of so many loved ones.     Yes, we do believe it has been but for a time, perhaps only a short time, that we have to be separated, but the unexpected suddenness seemed to make our own hearts to stop.   Yet God helped us all to get through, and to continue forward.     AND truly the hurt of the passing of these dear ones  has lessened, as we realise all yet live, and  shall be seen and known again.     As Shakespeare wrote 'parting is such sweet sorrow, that I shall say goodnight till it be morrow'.     The pain of saying goodbye is swallowed up in thinking of meeting again soon.  Truly passing days (for those who fellowship in Jesus) turn loss into anticipation of our next meeting, and continuation.    Their faces no longer sadden us as we see their photographs, but bring us joy in thinking of SEEING them again.
EVERY FIVE YEARS Testimony Faith Homes family - the House-parents, and the children - have tried to have a 'Get Together', back in the homes that they grew together in.    THUS again, this year, we are looking forward once more, in August, to come together.     It is always SUCH a happy and joyful time, and an opportunity to catch up on one each other.       
SO many came in 2019.   Have you noticed the lady at the extreme left of this photo?  Yes, she is a lady, but  poor dear; one who has gone through mind shattering times, becoming a broken shell of who she was.    She used always to attend our Church meetings, and every other event;  Testimony being a kind of refuge and memory of another better day.      We have lost sight of her over these last five year, and have not be able to discover how she may be today.    Any one reading this and able to update us, will do us a service. She has become part of the Family   Her name is DORCAS.
AND HERE, just a small glimpse of how good it IS to be able to see a brother or a sister AGAIN.   In this photo Charlie Green is meeting up with Esther Mbithi, and her little son.      Are any of you in touch?    Esther is now in the U.K. with her immediate family!     And dear Charles is still with Nairobi Chapel, reaching out to children and young people with the Message of Jesus.    Life goes on - whether here or there, upon this Earth, or above with our Father, and with our LORD.
SO GOOD to see each other again face to face, after the passing of years, and re-establish knowledge of each other, and be able to grow in love and CARE of each other in our prayer life. 
WE are a FAMILY, put together by the Holy Spirit of God for good reason and purpose, little or great, in order that we might realise what God's Family is like

YOUNG and OLD together around a table, and in the midst of so many other tables filled with so many more, enjoying fellowship full of laughter and joyful clatter.
Well, the food might not always be ****** but it is enhanced and improved by the company and sense of 'occasion' and Partying that one of our Reunions becomes.
IF YOU HAVE NEVER MADE ONE YET,
OR if you have been to ALL of them, PLEASE do decide to come AGAIN this August 2024 and we know it will simply be a truly memorable and Wonder time.

      COME!!      
Join with us this year and be 
IN THE PHOTO FOR 2024

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



HERE is a new photo of Esther, taken on Valentines Day at our local Mall, with a dear friend, Margaret Wanguhu.     IT is a great joy to see Esther returned to her old pre Cancer self, and looking very chic in a new dress.     Well these two 'gals' gad about most days together, and truly Margaret has been a huge aid in getting Esther out of the house, and going around the town again.     After her Chemo ended, Esther was a bit flat and depressed, but now she is revived and doing so very well.  Margaret has truly been, and continues to be a great Blessing to us both.    Yes, Cancer intruded rudely  and forcefully into Mum Esther's life in 2022.   Shockwaves throughout our little family - a huge test for us all.     But the LORD walked with us all into the sunshine of the present, and indeed we do all -  me perhaps most of all - thank God for  having Esther still by my side, and looking as if Cancer had never been        named; and fortunately Esther caot remember any of it as part of a Memory loss package that began at the onset of Chemotherapy.     Her memory is still being tested,    But  we are pressing on and believing for a restoration in all things.       She will be joining me in the 80s Club in August, God Willing, and well in time for the Reunion!   Just as she was in 2019!

God Bless and be with you, every one,

John and Esther
