September Mission Week in Rongo

Brother William spent a week in the Rongo area from Sunday the 16th of September to Saturday the 22nd of September. While there, he visited several High schools in the area sharing the December CML Camp information with the schools' administrations, ministering to students in two of the schools and facilitating the presentation of certificates to some of the students who attended the August CML Students' camp. He also got chance to meet two particular students who wanted to share personal testimonies of what has happened in their lives after they came from the August Camp.


He began the week at Kanyawanga Boys' High School on Sunday the 16th September teaching a session on Academic Excellence. As you can see by these photo's the students appreciated the teaching.
































The Christian Union Patron at Kanyawanga, Mr. Francis Ojwang, presented student Joel Ogweno with his certificate from CML for participating in the CML students' camp in August of 2007.










Joel says he was busy sharing with a group of fellow students, the things he learned at the camp, when he was told Brother William was looking for him.



This photo shows Ken Ojuok receiving his CML certificate. We are excited to partner with the CU Patrons as we minister in schools.

















Brother William is proud to stand with these "leaders among their peers" Joel Ogweno and Ken Ojuok, along with the CU Patron Mr. Francis Ojwang.

Brothers in Christ Ken and Joel proudly display their certificates.


Seth Odongo is proud to receive his certificate from Brother William at his school, Kanga Boys' High School. Seth has testified that after the August Camp, a number of his peers have approached him wanting to acknowledge that there is something different about him. He has shared with them about the last camp and several of them have indicated interest in the December Camp. Seth also confessed that he now believes strongly in answered prayers and has seen God's favour manifest in a special way concerning his tuition fees. He urged us to continue praying for him.

...and Brother William presenting a certificate to Evans Wagoro... Always thoughtful and articulate.

















...and to Jared Marwa... He now believes strongly that God answers prayers because He has experienced it. He testifies when he reached home after the August camp, he found God had intervened in a situation at his home church that he had asked some of the CML team to pray with him about. He made a special request to Brother William to allow his elder brother to attend the next camp. He yearns for his brother to experience the transformation he has experienced.










...and to Peter Paiyineetto...Ready to join CML in the near future.

Brother William also had opportunity to minister to the Girls at Dede Girls High School on Academic Excellence. He highlighted the imprtance of Knowledge, Understanding, Wisdom, Motivation and Hard Work and Organization on the part of the students as some of the ingredients for Academic Excellence. He then Emphasized the truth that true Wisdom comes from God.

Staff members in the Counselling & Guidance Department and the Teache in charge of Students' Academic Affairs were in attendance.

Brother William met with an encouraging attitude towards the Vision of CML from all the teachers he met at the vairious schools. In the future, we are planning to strategically share the CML Vision with the supportive local teachers and get them involved as much as possible. We believe this will be strategic in facilitating on-going CML networking with and discipleship of students while on campus.
