Mission at Kanga Boys' High School 8th July 2007

On July 8, 2007 the Christian Mission to Learners team in partnership with the Missions and Outreach department from Nairobi Pentecostal Church BuruBuru began their exciting week of missions in Rongo at Kanga High School.

The mission to Kanga began with a networking between William Ochieng and Mr. Samuel Kaunda the principal of the school. William had attended Kanga High School during 1988-1989 and Mr. Kaunda was his teacher. He never imagined that God would have led him and the CML team back there 19 years later for a powerful day of ministry.

The day began with introductions by Mrs. Obwanda, the Christian Union (CU)patron and William Ochieng (pictured above). Peter Paiyinetto one of the Kanga students', CU officials did a fabulous job as the master of ceremonies (MC) for the day.

It was a beautiful day and one could see the fingerprints of God among His creations, including the huge canopy of trees under which we enjoyed precious fellowship.

During the day, there was an oppourtunity for the boys to minister to the team as well as their fellow students. The presentations from the students included songs by both individuals and groups. As you can see from the photo, the boys themselves enjoyed and got ministered to even as they presented.



















Sister Denise Davenport shared with the students on the importance of sexual purity. Sister Denise read scripture from 1 Thessalonians 4:3-4, "It is God's will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is holy and honorable..."(NIV). Her teaching was immediately followed by by a session on HIV/AIDS education conducted by a team from the Rongo VCT Centre. They shared an important concept: K.A.P. K- Knowledge, A- Attitude, and P- Practice. The young men at the school listened intently and prepared for questions to ask during the Open Forum session.

Sister Elizabeth Kinyanjui (pictured here) ministered on Peer Pressure. Her teaching based on Proverbs 3:1-11 was a blessing to both the adults and the youthful students.

Following that was a message from Sister Amani Muhonja. Amani delivered a message from the Lord concerning Purpose and Self-esteem tying it into the previous message concerning peer pressure. She read scriptures from Romans 12:1,2, Colossians 1:16-17, Psalm 139 and Acts 13:36.










After the Lord had spoken through His faithful servants, Sister Margaret Mwenga lead the students in prayer. Two young men made decisions to accept Christ as their personal Savior and several others sought forgiveness for either having influenced their peers negatively or having been influenced negatively by their peers in the past. The Spirit of the Lord was moving at Kanga. We thank Him for the time of fellowship that was shared at Kanga High School and look forward to further ministry in the future.
