Every weekday, school classes are
held in the Kangemi church building for children though the age
of 12. These children come from families out in the rural bush
area who cannot pay the fees necessary to send them to government
run schools. Their test grades have compared with the State's
and have been excellent! |
John is delivering two extra Singer
treadle sewing machines to add to the others in the small building
next to the Kangemi church. A tailoring school is held here for
the young ladies from throughout this barren area who cannot
afford to go to a secondary school. This gives them a skill to
use to have a decent life; otherwise, they would possibly have
to turn to prostitution as a "way out" of their poverty. |
The first graduation class of the tailoring school. Five young
ladies have their diplomas showing their official completion,
meeting the standards set out by the government - and their grades
were all above standard! |

This is a small mud building in
rural Mbui. We recently completed the tin roof, and will eventually
"stucco" the walls. Church meetings are held each Sunday
and attendance is growing by leaps and bounds. It also houses
a kindergarten where children are taught their ABC's as well
as songs about Jesus by their teacher, Magdalene. |
The Congregation in Mbui named the
kindergarten, "Rev. Dorris B. Wisner's Nursery & Kindergarten."
The namesake (Dorris) stands by the sign. |
This is Magdalene with her new bicycle
that Missionaries in Action presented to her. This makes it much
easier to come to school every day from her home out in the bush
area about three miles away. Bicycles are like Fords or Chevrolets
to the Kenyan people, especially since there are no roads leading
to their rural homes. |

The Bible school in Machakos (an
extension of International Seminary, Plymouth, Florida) was established
in 1997. This is John sitting with certain dignitaries on the
day of the dedication. |
Inside a classroom, Dr. Michael
Sullivan is teaching a lesson. Wonderful testimonies have been
received from the members of the congregations of these young
pastors, saying that their knowledge of the Word and their anointing
has increased so tremendously that it is like a bit light has
been turned on inside the sanctuary and their ministry is so
much more effective!! Praise God!!! |
