SCHOOL TEXTBOOKS AND SUPPLIES DELIVERY

I've got to admit that right now I can't keep up with the good news that our brother David continues to share with us of the transormation work being accomplished in Kager by the Jubilee Village Project team. The Project is partnering with the three primary schools in the village to help them obtain basic school supplies and school books. Check out the pictures below and David's testimony of love below the pictures:

"On Monday, we went round to the schools and distributed the supplies to them. We began with God Kado Primary School (public) where we had the teachers, parents and pupils come together as we share on the work of the Jubilee Village Project and it was such a great time of seeing how people are willing and realistic of what JVP would like to achieve in the village. This was a real inspiration, and I took several photos which I am attaching. The river of God is flowing and everybody is motivated. After God Kado, we went to Oneno School and did equally the same. The photos will tell you the rhythm of the events as they unfolded during our presentations. We finished today with Heartspring Academy and it was the same River flowing. We expect a more public awareness of the river of JVP flowing within Kager and beyond and people have their ears open to hear what next. We are excited to see what $462 ($1 per student) is going to allow these three schools to achieve in the next school year."

MASTER'S WORKERS

I recently received the following prayer from a missionary in Liberia and I thought it was appropriate for the long journey God has prepared for us to help transform the village of Kager, Kenya (the prayer is attributed to Oscar Romera). It reminds me to not take myself too seriously and always remember that I am the Master's Worker, not the Master. Enjoy!


It helps, now and then, to step back and take the long view.

The Kingdom is not only beyond our efforts, it is beyond our vision.

We accomplish in our lifetime only a tiny fraction of the magnificent enterprise that is God’s work.

Nothing we do is complete, which is another way of saying that the kingdom always lies beyond us.

No statement says all that could be said.

No prayer fully expresses our faith.

No confession brings perfection.

No pastoral visit brings wholeness.

No program accomplishes the church’s mission.

No set of goals and objectives includes everything.

This is what we’re about:

We plant seeds that one day will grow.
We water seeds already planted, knowing that they hold future promise.
We lay foundations that will need further development.
We provide yeast that produces effects beyond our capabilities.
We cannot do everything and there is a sense of liberation in realizing that.

This enables us to do something, and to do it very well.

It may be incomplete, but it is a beginning, a step along the way, an opportunity for God’s grace to enter and do the rest.

We may never see the end results, but that is the difference between the master builder and the worker.

We are the workers, not the master builders, ministers, not messiahs.
We are prophets of a future not our own.

Amen.

MEET KENNEDY NYANJWA

Kennedy Ouma Nyanjwa (age 15)
Jubilee Scholar, Class of 2013

Kennedy was born in October 1993, and is the oldest boy in a family of six children. Kennedy was a very strong primary school student and attended the Heartspring Academy in Kager village.

Kennedy is one of two Kager youth first sponsored by the Jubilee Village Project to attend secondary school. Kennedy attends St.Paul's Ligisa Secondary School. St. Paul's is about 7 kilometers Kager and is sponsored by the Catholic church. The students there are compelled to attend catholic mass every Sunday, but they are given room to worship together through the week as other Christian faiths. The school has a Christian Union body which invites speakers from outside and Kager Vision Centre has conducted several evangelistic missions at the school. The current principal is a born again Christian and loves the Lord.

“Me as Kennedy Ouma, I am grateful with the Jubilee Village Project. Being one of the most benefitting projects in the community, it should be promoted to the highest level. I am so grateful to the Jubilee Partners and Champions. I am grateful to the JVP since it has something that is going to help the village and make life easy in the village. One of the things is that it is going to make education affordable and enjoyable for me and other people as well. From this, the whole village is going to benefit.

I am supporting this, since it is going to make me someone with meaning after I am done with education. I ask everyone to turn to Christ and begin praying for this great work to continue as long as the world exists and reach others as well in Africa and the world.

I am working to be an engineer in future, and through the assistance from JVP, I want to promise to work hard in my education and achieve this. I also wish my fellow JVP scholar the best and ask her to work hard and achieve her goal in future through the support from JVP.

Finally I want to sincerely thank the one who began the project and ask God to guide everyone involved and take care of them, and give them more power and ability to do more.

God bless you all and God bless JVP.”
