A letter from Arnold in Kenya
This is a letter form Arnold Kirubi--a student from Kenya and fellow worker for the Gospel. We are attempting to start a discipleship blog for Kenyan ministers. As you read his letter, you can see the challenges they face. Pray for Arnold and his fellow workers in the Gospel as they deal with the everyday challenges of life.
Hello Dr. Randy!
Hope that you and your family are well and blessed. How have you been and how are things with you? We are well and blessed and God has continued to be gracious and merciful to us. We are of course going through the usual challenges of drought, starvation, power and water rationing and the many other problems that define us, and that results from bad, corrupt, selfish and miserable leadership.
I got a job in our church that has about 4000 members to lead the house group/cell group ministry. That includes getting everyone in house groups or small groups; training, discipling and mentoring leaders; pastoral visitations; writing Bible study materials and training materials among many other responsibilities. Its a great and
challenging docket and I'm honored and blessed to be given such an opportunity. That's why I was telling you that I will asking you to mail me training materials and some leadership materials. My desire though is to continue with my studies in the area of leadership so that I can work, train and mentor the next generation of African leaders who will bring change to my people-the people of Kenya and Africa. It is painful to see their pain, anguish and suffering that
they endure every day. We have suffered for far too long and we have had to endure too much pain.
We are a strong and hopeful people though and we will keep looking to that day when we will have our dawn. I have not had access to internet and immediately I do, I will forward those email addresses which are in my yahoo contact list. Network has been greatly affected due to power rationing. We get water 6hours in a week and power 3days in a
week until a miracle of rain happens. So long and hope to hear from you soon. Pass our love and regards to your family. You are in our hearts and in our prayers.
In His Service
Arnold Kirubi.

I wonder if they have any underground water formations?
My links are not going exactly where I intended them--sorry
"the usual challenges of drought, starvation, power and water rationing"
Lord Jesus please surround this man and these people. Please God give them rain and crops. Amen!
May God bless you Arnold! You are a great warrior in His service.

I stood at my door this evening and watched the rain fall. It was beautiful and stirred my heart to praise God. It always speaks to me of the Creator when I hear thunder roll, see flashes of lightning, and watch showers fall. I pray that Arnold and the people of Kenya will receive God's showers of blessings on their land and in their hearts. Sarah Masten
