It does not matter where you are in the world, children are children. It is always a joy to work with children and see them come to the Lord at an early age. Watching children grow up without the scars of sin brings a pleasure like no other.
We have always made children a large part of our ministry efforts. We have a christian school with nearly 300 children. We have seven bible clubs that meet on Saturdays with a combined attendance of over 1000. Every Sunday we have over 200 children who attend our church service. We truly endeavor to reach the children.
Today it was with sadness that today we had the funeral service of one of our Sunday School children. Joy Wangui was barely four years old when God took her home. Joy's mother received Christ in our church a couple years ago and it was with great happiness that I was able to assure her that she would see her lovely daughter again.
Joy's mother is the brother of one of our most faithful men, brother Peterson Kimani. When Peterson got saved God truly changed him. A drunkard who was living for himself was changed to a man who now lives for God and his family. Many of Peterson's family have come to the Lord and his children are some of the best in the church Peterson's wife is saved but has been holding out on joining the church. Please pray for her.
Peterson owns a public transportation business and has completely dedicated his business to the Lord. He is not ashamed of his beliefs and willingly shows it. (see picture) It is not often we see people as dedicated in their business practices as brother Peterson has shown. Through his testimony his sister has been reached and she has the knowledge that heaven will bring a reunion with her daughter!
