I got to Kisumu safely early this afternoon after a 6 and a half-hour drive. I was mostly asleep during the journey having slept late and woken up four hours later. I arrived when the team was on the way to a school for an afternoon ministry visit. They picked me up at the main highway and we proceeded to the school, where the team leader (Jafya) was at his usual versatile self.
I met him first in 2008 when he came to Diguna for the school leavers' camp. He had just cleared high school the previous year and was not a Christian. He decided to allow Jesus to become his Lord and Savior during that camp and was soon after a founding member of our Bible study group (Chosen829).
A few years down the line, he is a reasonably stable Christian, well on the way to maturity in the faith. He is the current camp director at Diguna and leader of the School ministry team. He is an awesome person, jovial, funny and has a sharp mind. He can preach, sing, act and counsel and is a great example of Christianity.
This does not make him a perfect man, far from it...he is still, as we all are, a work under progress. God is still using and moulding him into His own image and likeness and he is being greatly used of God in this generation.
I look forward to the future that is his in Jesus. So bright, so full of promise, he will need all the support he can get, I hope I can be part of the army God will use to bless his life.
