I have been kinda under the weather for a while...a head cold that I can't seem to recover from ... coughing, sneezing, no energy, etc...and it seems to me that our internet server must also been having a cold of sort...it has not been working right very much lately. However, today, things seems to be getting better for me and the server :-)) I am trying to post about several different events today...
This August during the AOG General Council here in Kenya, several HIM (Harvesters' Inst of MInistries - the laymen bible school we pioneered in 1993) alumni came to us and shared about how the Lord is blessing them in their ministry and suggested to us that we need to have an alumni meeting soon. They organised it but we hosted it on campus. They were able to contact about 20 of them...we haven't seen some of them for over ten years now! Some of them are pastoring, one of them, Harris and his wife, Florence in their 60s, (on the right of Tony with the African outfit) is just now starting a brand new church! Alex, started a church and planted two more and have a small school running about 48 students for underprivilege kids, Kanye, shared with us how the Lord healed him of diabetes and blindness. It was a tremendous time of thanksgiving and praise that afternoon.
We had a time of singing and they sang "This is the day"....they changed the wording a little and sang "these are the teachers" and pointed to Tony and myself. We feel so humbled to be called teachers by these tremendous men and women of God.
Joel, was a young man when he came to our school. He is now married with kids and is a deacon at the church where our General Superintendent is the pastor.
The shorter, stockier gentleman on Tony's right, is Fred. I have written about him before. He is now the Business Adminstrator at East Africa School of Theology and has started a church as well. Tony shared a short devotion and I prepared a short game and gifts for everyone. Later, we arranged for lunch for all of them at the dining hall on campus. It was one of the best afternoon we've ever had!
Vickie played with her Middle School Symphonic Band yesterday during the Christmas concert at school. They did an awesome job.
Before the concert, she had a soccer game. Her team won 2-0. Go, Vickie!
This is a most amazing picture. I was walking home from a neighbour's house and saw this in the sky. A smiley face!!!! Apparently, it was Venus and Jupiter (or some planet :-)) accompanying a crescent moon. It really was pretty amazing. Did anyone elsewhere see this??
Kat bumming around and eating on a saturday morning...
Vic torturing Max...
Vic with Anastasia, one of her best friend. This was taken during the Cultural Richness Day that the school celebrated. Anastasia performed a traditional Ukrainian dance with her brother. It was pretty incredible.
Kat in a Norwegian outfit and with all her best friends...
There was even someone playing the bagpipe. Rosslyn has students from so many nationalities. We are grateful that the kids has the exposure to the diversity of nationalities, languages, culture and religions.
Kat did a project on Norway. She chosed Norway as her best friend, Erin is Norwegian and is actually there now...Kat misses her...
Vickie did her project on Korea. When I asked her why Korea, she told me she was assigned to it :-))
My two favorite Rosslyn students
Isn't she cute? Don't you think she look Norwegian?
