The
Group’s Achievements To-date
The love of God is
marvelous. It has not been easy to be where we are at present. The
Lord’s Spirit had countered one’s own self and asked him to arise and
do His work. Jonah
1:1-2 “Now the word of the LORD came to Jonah the son of Amittai,
saying” 2; “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city and cry out against
it; for their wickedness has come up before me.” Right from the time the group started in
2005, many more achievements have been realized positively towards
endurance, perseverance and persistence to the word of God as
highlighted below:-
a.
One SHOULD read and understand our belief and
mission statement (We are a none-denominational and non-profit group
that beliefs in what has been highlighted in the “Our Belief”).But more
importantly, we encourage each and every one to pray for the spiritual
guidance to understand what kind of doctrinal beliefs one is entering
unto. For Jesus said in John 7: 17 “If
anyone wills to do His will, he shall know concerning the doctrine,
whether it is from God or whether I speak on My own authority”
b.
One
SHOULD create time for the word of God; not only thinking and spending
much of the time to acquiring riches of this world. Mark 10: 23 “Then Jesus looked around and said to
His disciples, “How hard it is for
those who have riches to enter the
c.
One
SHOULD be devoted to fasting and praying towards various group needs.
Prayer is the only true way to communicate to our Almighty. Jesus
prayed throughout His encounter in the world. Luke 6:12 “Now it came to pass in those days that
He went out to the mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer
to God”.
d.
One
SHOULD take part in the group’s activities as spelt in our objectives.
e.
Finally,
everybody MUST take part in the group discussions as led by the Holy
Spirit.

Lord and also to the group.

We
have identified two families of whom we’re fully taking responsibility
for their daily needs as indicated below:-
a.
The
first family was identified one and half years ago. There is no
parent-only the children were left after the parents perished of
HIV/AIDS. The group has ensured that they have good shelter, clothing
and food. They are now attending schools. Thank God the Government of
Kenya initiated Free Primary Education (FPE).
b.
The
second family was identified a few months ago and it has a Mother and
children. The father had died of heavy alcoholic drinking.
Unfortunately, he had sold all the land and only left a small piece for
the house. When we encountered the family, the mother was seriously
sick and had no Hope any more. She had despaired in life. Job 19: 10 “He breaks me down on every side, and
I am gone; My Hope He has uprooted like a tree”. She never
wanted to go to hospital for she believed in long gone witchcraft that
is common in the area. We had to convince her by reading to her the
word concerning Hope and repentance trying to convince her trust in
what the Almighty is capable of doing. She accepted to go to hospital
and was diagnosed of diabetic infections. She was treated and was
discharged home after two weeks. While she was at the hospital, the
group through a donation from a friend constructed a small house and
fenced the compound for the family. So far, the family is back to its
feet. Life and hope has been restored. Titus
2: 11-14 “For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to
all men, 12 teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we
should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, 13
looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God
and Savior Jesus Christ 14 who gave Himself for us, that He might
redeem us from every lawless deed and purify Himself His own special
people, Zealous for good work”. We decided to hire a piece of
land in the neighborhood and planted maize for them. They have
germinated and we hope there shall be good harvest come February next
year. We also intend to enroll the children of the family in the
neighboring school come next year. One of our friends has decided to
support this family with $ 100 each month.
3.
We
have hired a small room where we’re operating from. The room costs us $
20 each month. Within the room, we constructed a small Group library
where we store our spiritual materials for group members borrowing. We
now have a total of 9 Bible (NKJV) after each member acquired one copy
each. We also have a few spiritual printouts that were sent by a
brother who happened to know our group back. This is why we’re hereby
requesting for as many spiritual materials as possible to enable us
improve our daily studies.
4.
Through
understanding and humbleness from one friend, I have managed to get
computers that operate a cyber café that supports the group in
its daily running. Through the same friend, I have also acquired a car
that operates Taxi services as well as assist us in the group’s daily
errands. May God bless him and add Him a decade years to continue
serving the Almighty. His love is of no count. John 15:13 “Greater Love has no one than this,
than to lay down one’s life for his friends.”

Last
year we happened to attend the World Health Day and ganged up with
other volunteer groups in cleaning the

We
have so far organized and attended to nine schools during Sunday’s
services and have offered spiritual nourishment to them.
