NEW MISSION POINT - KPA
Pastor Omodhi and Pastor Carlos visited a new Mission/Preaching Point on 3rd October, after the UHLC English service. It’s along Mombasa Road on the way to the airport, in a slum – KPA - close to Nairobi National Park.
Three brothers: Peterson, Samson and Fred, are the leaders there. We visited them two years ago and, as it is far and expensive for them to come to the church, we suggested them to began a Bible Study group. They already began a group five months ago, using some books and other materials we gave them.
Eight children were waiting to be baptized:- Brevian Otunga Nalemae, born on 19. September.2010, to Proters Fuamba Nalemae and Joyve Nasihu Otunga.
- Francis Nyabuto, born on 18th July 2010, to Geofrey Machoni Otieno and Ruth Biyaki.
- Berminas Ogora Mogendi, born on 9th September 2007, to Geofrey Mogendi Maudi and Evalie Nyaboke.
- Mildred Nyaboke Obae, born on 30th September 2006, to Jefither Obae Nyagwencha and Edinah Moraaa Obae.
…and the siblings born to David Nyamao Nyangau and Doricah Moraa Nyamao:- Fenic Nyambeki Nyamao, born on 28th October, 1997;
- Victor Omae Nyamao, born on 20th February 1999;
- Felistas Nyanchera Nyamao, born on 23rd November 2001;
- Diana Nwango Nyamao, born on 18th September 2004.
The little room was too small for all the people who attended the Service. The sermon was a special study about Baptism.
After the service, they served lunch for all: rice and beans.
This is Peterson’s family.
All the group took a picture together before we left. – We are planning to go back there in November to take the Lord’s Supper to them. It’s a good beginning and many visitors are coming. - They have many challenges: They need to enlarge the room, to buy another plot next to the little church, to buy some chairs and some musical instruments… ***********************
