Bringing the Kingdom into the Real World

New Students

"In this world we are like Jesus" 1 John 4.17

For two weeks earlier this month,
students from around Kenya and Uganda  gathered in Nairobi for intensive study. Some of our new students included a nurse, a children's pastor, a business entrepreneur, a church planter, a youth pastor, and an electrician.


                   

He did it!

                                               Being together for long hours every day bonds people together quickly.  Laughter comes easily as does the ability to argue over how to apply the Bible to difficult situations. When discussing social ethics - how we apply decisions of right and wrong in social situations - the students wrestled with how to uphold their cultural norms and what Scripture says.                                                        


One pastor has a family who came
to faith in Christ while in his church.
Yet, before their conversion the family was polygamous - one man and multiple wives. To send all the wives away except one would make these women and their children homeless and unemployed. What should one do? Another pastor was given funds to scholarship some of the children in his church, but not all of them. Those families who did not receive scholarship assistance left the church and slandered the pastor in the village. What should he do as he is well known and involved in community affairs?

Almost all our students receive prayer during the duration of the courses.  Several were in tears at different points.  One pastor who had undiagnosed pain in his feet for over a year was healed. All were challenged with the claims of the Kingdom of God in their real, everyday world.

In about 7 weeks we will enjoy a 3 month Sabbatical in the US. One of our needs is use of a vehicle from October 20 to January 20th.
