The teachers/government decided to settle, so Monday will be school as usual across the nation. We are really praying for Form 1 (Grade 9) students. I have 5 applications so far, but need 36 in this coming week. Pray the Holy Spirit will connect us with those who 1. need to meet or grow in God at Christ Church Schools, and 2. are not able to afford the schools they were assigned to or 3. did not qualify for the schools they hoped to go to, so are looking for another place.
Every year I'm reminded of the parable where the King sent his servants out to the highways and byways for those who did not think they'd ever see the King's table. It gives me great joy to be able to provide a table of education in the King's presence for those who would be shut out of other schools. They just need to find us first!
About Me
- Gloria Swenson
- Kisumu, Kenya
- I'm in the prime of life (50's) with 4 wonderful young adults who used to be our children. We came to Kisumu in 1984 to work in local church development. Over the years God has provided buildings, leaders, and a congregation of about 400, most of whom are under 20. In 1989 the elders asked us to start a nursery school which then grew year by year into a primary school as well. In 2002, Eric was appointed senior pastor and in 2004, the High School was began. Since I am principal of the High School and superintendent of schools, a lot of this site will probably be about education. But the church has many other departments as well. Eric is also regional overseer for 36 churches our Kenyan denomination, 5 of which are branch works of CCK. We are also members of Kingdom Ministries International and our second home is in the Seattle area where our sending churches, Christ Church Monroe and Christ Church Kirkland are located. Welcome to Kisumu, Kenya, via this site. Please post your comments and questions, and if I get too busy to answer I'll delegate the answers to Andrew who is the on-site computer expert.
Hi Sis!!! Finally had a moment to check out your and Andrew's blogs and love 'em both!!
ReplyDeleteWill definitely be praying for those 36 applications this week. Wow - "God of miracles, show Your might and power. Move people to see, think of, hear about, dream of Christ Church Schools!"
Love and miss you so much.
