Gospel News — Sep-Dec 2012

NEWS FROM BROTHERS & SISTERS

miles to attend your meetings. At that time one of your sisters from England, named Helen, visited us and I was her taxi man. She thrilled us with her beautiful singing. She told us that she sang with your Birmingham Choral Society. She left a couple of CDs with us, and later we acquired some more. I started making copies on request, and I cannot keep up with the demand for these. The favourite is "I know that my Redeemer lives," but all of them are popular. Now you can hear the Bible message in song about redemption, resurrection and God's Kingdom on earth all over our area – in various homes, churches, in route taxis, even in a local beauty parlour. It's quite amazing. How wonderful it would be if Helen could see her way to visit us again. Sacred music is a marvellous way to preach the Gospel.

I am one of the oldest readers of Bible Basic and Gospel News although I do not contribute a lot . I am using the NEV Bible and it is so helpful in our group Bible daily readings. I only borrowed it from a Brother there. We are nine of us in our study group. Is it possible, please to get any number possible to enable our study to be more effective? God the Almighty bless you.

this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good , and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. See how James 1:14-15 works well with the message. Then John 1:12, "As many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God."

We in Kenya need your prayers as we approach the general election in this country at the end of this year.

KATITO

Thanks for your concern about my health and I am happy to say that God did me wonders that saw me back to good health. I was suffering from acute bronchitis and typhoid. This chest problem is a complication of the common cold when one is exposed to low temperatures, especially in high altitudes. It results in the chilling of the body giving way to bacterial infection. I was exposed to this cold temperature in Nakuro in late December last year and this prompted me to be exempted from the indoor spraying exercise this year for fear of my getting further infections. No matter how we normally protect ourselves while spraying, I personally do not spray. I do this while training where we use only water without chemicals.

The wars in the Middle East have hit everyone in the world regarding fuel prices. Kenyan forces are in Somalia but homes are totally insecure and prone daily to attacks by insurgents by the name of Al-Shabaab. Surely the uprising in the Arab world is an accomplishment of Isaiah 51:22, but also the chaos in Syria will soon aggravate into intensive fighting among nations resulting in mass killing, and eventually Damascus will be taken away from being a city. Putin has been behind the scenes in many happenings in Syria and Iran and his army will in due course be deposed by Jesus.

I have been working out strategies to enable us to have an ecclesia around Katito. Bro. Nelson Anyal and myself have been longing to see this progress. We request two Bibles for friends that have been engaging with us in our
