Building Momentum

At first, it was terribly difficult to let go. I was used to a certain lifestyle, at my own pace doing my own thing. I mostly decided where to sleep, what to eat, and what to wear and when to wake up in the morning. I loved the life for it allowed my artistic side to flourish, although my body had begun to grow in indiscipline.

Then I started the internship at the Nairobi Chapel and everything in me started fighting back. I had to wake up at 5 in the morning; I had to dress formally in shirt, trousers and office shoes. At least I still don’t have to put on a tie, but I have a feeling that may change with time. I am equally grateful that Sunday attire for me still consists of jeans, t-shirts and sneakers.

The internship program is intensive in its demands on my time, energy and abilities. I am learning many things rapidly and also need to apply them just as fast. I am in charge of our (Nairobi Chapel Ongata Rongai) teens’ church and have the beautiful task of growing our numbers and coming up with relevant, Godly, impacting and fun content for this fellowship. Luckily, I find an already charged up and loving crew who have been taking care of this group since the year began and this can only get better.

I am slowly building momentum, and hope that once we start moving, nothing shall be able to stand in our way. Our aim is to reach Rongai’s teens for Jesus, one at a time. Our model is to evangelize, disciple, fellowship, discover and nurture talent, then use it for ministry. Looking forward to what’s ahead.
