The Ward Family from Scotland

8-15 May 2009

Allan, Janette and Mathew (8) arrived in Njoro on the Friday evening after meeting with Enock Mohol, the coordinator of ACE in East Africa, during the morning. Allan spent the weekend with us, but had to go back to Nairobi on Sunday, as he had to work up to Wednesday.

Allan was specifically interested in helping YASHA looking at different options concerning water. He actually wanted Wilco to start digging the well at the Guest House as to look for water, but because of the heavy rains that couldn't realize as it would have been too dangerous for the guys digging. We believe that if we can go 30-40 feet deeper, we might find plenty of water.

This photo of the Ward family was taken after the Sunday morning service at Kingpriest Centre, Nakuru. It was such a privilege having them with us.
We had a Graduation Service as our Sunday School children just finished the Discovery Series. Here Allan and Matthew are taken with Past Erastus and Pauline - Past Maina also got a certificate as to validate our church's relationship with Christian Union.

Tuesday morning's chapel @ YASHA

Janet brought a powerful message to the staff and students about God's love. She never knew that our song of the month came from 1 John 4:7,8 talking all about LOVE :-)

Janette also gave the school some valuable advice on various issues during the course of the week and the Staff especially were encouraged so much. As a school we had to re-align ourselves with certain ACE concepts that were misunderstood and we truly are grateful for her input in this regard.

Matthew thoroughly enjoyed "school life" as such as he is a home schooler. He blended in real well and made pretty good friends that week.
