Ripples of change
Quiet time in the garden. Sitting alone under a gentle breeze, ready to pray. Mornings are so beautiful. My joints stiff as I shift on the bench. With legs outstretched, the pain eases. Back to focus on prayer and worship. The songs play out in my mind, with the right words for the prayers God…

A new beginning for Kenya
Our prayer is that every man, woman and child takes time to review God’s Word – Proverbs 6:16-19. Change starts with a people standing on principle. The only set of principles we can rely on are found in God’s Word.

Mending the family
Sunrise is only minutes away and Budu’s eyes flicker and open. He gazes across the bed and straining through the shadows, to catches a glimpse of his wife’s sleeping form.

Focusing on presence rather than personalities
The thought that Kenya is celebrating 49 years of Jubilee, as a nation just brings me such joy. Leviticus 25:8-24 brings such clarity to how God sees us and the possessions He has placed into our hands. The land and the produce we grow on it belongs to God and we are to use it,…

Obedience Is Better Than Sacrifice!
Every relationship goes through a honeymoon stage. Getting to know someone is one of the hardest phases of any relationship. At any rate, friends are made and bonds strengthened. It is a huge risk but in most cases, well worth it. Life in general is one big risk. From the first breath, to the last,…

Dead Man’s Solace
A couple of years ago, a friend re-introduced me to an old man; a friend of the family. He had suffered a stroke and lost most of his medium and longterm memory. Struck with pity and a determination to treat Jim with kindness, we exchanged greetings. His quizzical looks ironically stirred up great memories. Jim…
