End of November Prayer and Fasting at HQ

I didn't take my camera, but hopefully can get some photos from Robert tomorrow!

This was a packed out prayer meeting. We need a tent!!

Friday night the Hall was FULL and people were sitting outside on the verandah. On Saturday there were so many outside the Hall that I guess there may have been about 250 there. On Sat night, the Hall was still very full and people had to sit outside. The number was 150.

Testimonies from the Community were very exciting.

The age range was also great - from Primary school children (a few) to wazee. Almost all the local Transformation Units were represented.

The news about COFFEE from Chesakaki is particularly exciting and will come in a separate post.

With growth we were also facing many challenges. Thank you to all who pray with us.

If you are reading this and do not get the UK Newsletter, but would like it and/or the monthly prayer letter, please let us know. office@icfem.org

Rosemary Ambooka graduates.

On Friday 20th, Rosie graduated at Kabarak University. The ceremony was attended by her parents and other family members. On Saturday night a Thanksgiving Party was held for her at the Guest House.
We were delighted to see her photo in the Daily Nation on Saturday, receiving a trophy for Christian Service from the Chancellor of the University, Retired President Daniel Arap Moi.
Since finishing at College, Rosie has been 'holding the fort' in the Gap/Volunteer programme.
The photo shows her with Solomon and Ruth at the Thanksgiving Party.

A few wedding photos.

The service was held outside under the trees.

The photo shows some of the gifts, which were carried to the Church.

Wedding of Peter and Caroline

Today was the joyful occasion of the wedding of Peter (DEC bus conductor) and Caroline. There was a colourful service at her home (pre-wedding) before we set off for the PEFA Church in Kimilili. Tatwa drove the bridegroom and his men and I drove the bride - with her best maid, Mary and two little girls. The DEC bus and another school bus carried all the other people - girls, family members and all wishing to come.
This is very slow tonight, so I'll try to add the photos tomorrow.

Harvest Festival at Kimilili LTU today.

Today the Harvest Festival was held inside a Church. The heavens opened a big blessing, just as the preaching and prayers ended. There was much rejoicing at the goodness of God.
Each individual was prayed for as he/she brought the token tithe.

More Misikhu photos.

Praise and worship. People coming for prayer - I hope these photos give you a glimpse of the day.

Harvest Festival at Misikhu LTU today.

The Harvest Festival was held under the trees outside the Local Transformation Unit Office. There were testimonies and people brought their tithes. Much praise and thanksgiving. Preaching and many accepted Jesus as Lord and Saviour. Then they gave to God. Men in one line and ladies in the other. Maize was a token handful, but there were also beans and eggs as well as the bananas and chicken you can see in the photo. Each person was prayed for as he/she gave.

It was a wonderful and exciting day!

The local Councillor was passing by and came to see what was happening. He stayed and was very touched.

Jo Finlay held an exciting competition for the card artists. We love the results. We hope you will too.

A major donor for the DEC Scholarship fund for very needy children has just had to pull out, so we need to sell lots of cards and also get more new friends to help the scholarship fund. Please publicise the cards for us - buy some and sell them as well!!

Kenya Certificate of Primary Education

I arrived from London on Friday morning - to Kitale via Nairobi.
I was just in time to go to Dreamland Education Centre to join in prayer for the candidates. Today (Tuesday) was the first paper. The exam continues until Thursday. We are praying for all our candidates and trust God for good news at the end of December.

KCSE (Form Four) exams are drawing to a close and we pray for God's blessing on all our students sitting this exam.

Ann is home!

After a very busy and good time in UK and Eire, I am now home in Kimilili. Many thanks to all the wonderful friends, fellowships, schools and Churches who welcomed me and gave me a chance to talk about IcFEM and what God is doing in Kimilili. God bless you all.

Harvest Festivals continue, with three more this week.
