It begins here "Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”Math 28;19.  MAKING DISCIPLES. I can only make disciples if i am a disciple myself. How do i become a disciple?  A disciple in the New Testament is simply a Christian.  Acts 11:26 . The day i decided to follow Jesus i became a disciple.  As disciples, we are called to imitate Jesus’ love (Jn. 13:34), his mission (Mt. 4:19), his humility (Phil. 2:5), his service (Jn. 13:14), his suffering (1 Pt. 2:21) and his obedience to the Father (1 Jn. 2:3-6). Since he is our teacher, we are to learn from him and strive in the power of the Holy Spirit to become like him ( Lk . 6:40). This growth in Christ-likeness is a life...

HOW COSTLY CAN IT GET? While on a field trip to Kenya the above question kept ringing when I visited our missionaries serving in different parts of the country. I found myself in a bus that was full of “strangers” and I felt my life was at risk especially because I was travelling at night. How strange? When it was prayer time they all got out of the bus and said their evening prayers on the road side. Worst still when you have two Army men to escort our bus. A lot of things went through my mind.   I don’t remember when I last felt as insecure and yes I had to trust God through the journey. On arrival in the morning I was welcomed by several missionaries and servants of God. This month i feature Loyce Naula. An Orthopedics clinical officer serving as missionary in Marsabit Kenya.  ​ Loyce found herself between two unreached people groups Rendiles and Boranas.  The trip to Marsabit was in itself exciting and scaring.   My highlight was ...

 Celebrating my family Today   , our kids are so different from each other and even different from us. Been desiring to create an environment where they can be what God wants them to be. As they grow, I desire that they can engage Dad and me in respectful dialogues where they have the freedom to be different, Candid, vulnerable, and make mistakes, yet love for them remains constant. Strong-willed, bold, confident, very sufficient, independent yet persistent unique...sensitive organized... well, that's what I see now.....  What makes Roy unique? Competent easy-going sympathetic peaceful. Avoids conflicts.... still a curious sense of humor... and sincere.   What makes Bernice Unique? We are both different from these two lives,,,   checking how I have expressed who they need to be becoming, for now trusting God with their lives.  As for me,, am here happy with who I am becoming in Christ.... true-faced. ...

WHAT A  GREAT CALLING.. Lately been thinking through my greatest calling, Parenting and decided to ponder pretty much and yes i want to ponder right there.   Outside my house i am an excellent Director, public speaker,couch and a consultant in many things, inside my house when i assume my role as a mother and wife these roles have a way of making me feel horrible and bringing the worst out of me. well i guess this is where the rubber meets the road.  I see little children born sinners, without being taught how to do bad they assumed the role very early. ideally i am supposed to respond to their disobedience, rebellion and immaturity. How? That is where i need God to help me in, i easily react not respond to them.  how do i separate their behavior from their hearts? I love their hearts but not their behavior, oh that i would learn separating the bad behavior and deal with this heart that i love.  Simply i need a box to see the behavior and throw it i...

As usual coming from work traffic is one thing that makes me meditate upon life. Yesterday was a special one. Through my window I could not help it but see a baby who was having loud groans,just to see clearly that i was shockingly  mistaken. The baby so excited and full of laughter as the young mother tickled and made all faces. My neighbour who was a young man looked on as well. Then he broke the silence and exclaimed, life is so unfair! I waited on, he then said see that street mother enjoying her baby in the streets. Others look for babies in vain but also when they get them they get lost in the business of looking for money and they can't enjoy the babies. They leave househelps to enjoy them. Even in big houses the babies don't experience their mothers love, this one is experiencing it at the streets. As he continued on and on I thought how life can be a paradox. Those who have enough look for more just like wind chase and chase to attain more and they loose the mea...

HOPE &  JOY PASSED ON .  I received an email from F.k Norway asking if I could identify vulnerable women and girls and give them some clothes that were donated by a mother who lost her daughter in Norway , and my answer was yes I will ,after all we work with a lot of those in Shalom community project. Shalom is an initiative of Robert and Gillian who after 1 year in Norway and being exposed to high level of development decided that they can do something small to change one life in their community. Afrika is not just a continent but its our brothers sisters, cousins etc... After some years now we have women and youth empowerment programs, a children project of 45 vulnerable poor children and  a small health Centre that meets the needs of the community.  Then  I received the new clothes and we identified some widows, orphans and needy women in the community and below are the smiles and excitement that this brought. One woman shed tea...
