NURU CHILDREN CAMP
Nuru Media Ministry – (The Lutheran Hour – Kenya) – held a Children Camp at Kawanguare Lutheran Church from 2 to 4 September.
Around 200 children came together: From the congregation, from the HHOCC Feeding program, from the neighborhood. The teachers taught them about the Gospel and entertained them as well.
Some mamas prepared the food:
Beans with rice.
The children were divided in five teams and they had competitions among them.
The children love to see the pictures in the camera!
My brother Oscar Winterle and his wife Regina visited us from 26th August to 15th September. It was so good to have them with us!
We visited Spring of Life Lutheran Church in Kibera. The church’s facilities and part of the church were burn down during the post-election violence in Kenya in January 2008. The church still needs to be remodeled, but some things have already been done:
The altar, the internal walls and the floor were painted and a new cross was put on the altar wall.
But the Medical Clinic has not been rebuilt yet…
… and the roof of the church is still waiting for a better remodeling.
Oscar and Regina loved the children in Kibera and…
… in Kawangware.
They also introduced themselves at UHLC services…
… were they attended the services twice.
They also visited several wildlife parks in Kenya and went back home excited with these very different experiences in their lives.
