I met Pastor Winnie at the women’s conference this past week. She invited me to come and share at her church. Presently Calvary Celebration Church is meeting in a rented building but they have already taken steps to have a place of their own. Eight years ago Pastor Winnie started the church with 15 children and 11 adults. The church now seats 500 and it was full. One section of the church was reserved just for the youth to sit in so they could join us in worship before they left for their service.
After the service the visitors were asked to remain for tea and a biscuit so that the Pastor could greet them for a few minutes and collect contact information.

Ella, a friend, of mine from Sweden had emergency surgery last night. There was talk of a medical air rescue for her. However, a surgeon was called in from Nakuru, which is a four hour drive. He came immediately and her surgery was performed here in Kitale. She had a strangulated ovary and gangrene had set in. We are very thankful to have Doc Cathy here at St. Raphael’s Clinic in Mitisi just outside of Kitale. She was trained in NY as a nurse practitioner and was able to diagnose Ella’s condition.
Please pray that she will recover quickly without complications or infections. Hospitals here are not up to date like those you might be used to. It is like stepping back in time, way back. She doesn’t have a nurse to care for her. It is up to each patient to have a friend or family member come in to watch over you. Also pray for her family in Sweden. It is very hard for her parents being so far away.
| Isaiah 40:11 |
He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those that have young.
