This newest edition of the Fountain
is out and we really thank God for
the far He has brought the Ministry.
The year has been a huge series of
ups and downs. With the angle of
view that I’ve been privileged to
have you may be sure that I have
seen a fair share of troubles as well
as successes.
What the Lord holds for our
futures, individually and as a
whole ministry may not be clearly
discernible but we can rest in the
mighty arms of His Love.
The Love that saw us close our year
having watered the Hills of Keringet
from the Living Fountain.
The Love that saw us start our first
steps with a trek at Oloolua.
The Love that has seen us revive
our Thursday meetings and have a
more vibrant team of young men
and ladies, ready to take up the
Gospel mantle.
The Love that has seen us grow in
numbers as well as in good will.
The Love that saw two spy teams

head to the Plains of Kaewa and
come with the wonderful message
of a plentiful harvest awaiting
reapers.
The Love that has seen the wonderfully
beautiful Executive team,
though inexperienced, labour day
and night to help the Ministry grow
from glory to glory.
The Love that will see to it that we
go on to achieve our goals this year.
The Love that will help us raise
sufficient funds to support #Kaewa2016

This Love,
It leads us onward,
It leads us homeward, to that glorious
rest above!
Oh how I long for that day!!
In the meantime, Let us
Serve Our Lord as His hosts above,

BUSY?
Life can get so busy that you forget
many important things in your life.
In school, especially the senior
classes, work is too much, concepts
more complex and questions seem
to get harder. It’s hard to make up
sometime for your friends and soon
you lose contact with them – you
fall apart. After all that work you
just want to sleep sparing hardly a
minute of prayer.
At home, parents are so busy even
for their spouses and children. They
would wake up after their children
have gone to school and return
when the chilren are in bed. Parents
do not get to have quality time with
their family, to advise their chldren,
to play with them, to show them
love ... Children soon become close

to their peers and teachers become
‘mummy’ and ‘daddy’. This is not in
accordance to God’s plan.
Life is not all about books, careers,
fashion, and success. Life is
communion and fellowship with
others. We should not forget the
gift of family and friends. We should
take time to show concern for
others and to rest; rest in the LORD
(Matthew 11:28). God gives us a
day amidst this mad rush for rest
and fellowship.
Being under Satan’s yoke [B-U-
S-Y] sounds scary. Being occupied
by worldy things, forgetting the
WHOLE DUTY of man is to serve
God is being under Satan’s yoke.
Take time off for God ‘cause He
took time for you.
Pause every once in a
while.
Have time for your
friends – they need
you.
Have time for your
family – you need
each other.
And most important,
Have time time for
God – you need Him!
