This newest edition of the <strong>Fountain</strong><br />
is out and we really thank God for<br />
the far He has brought the Ministry.<br />
<strong>The</strong> year has been a huge series of<br />
ups and downs. With the angle of<br />
view that I’ve been privileged to<br />
have you may be sure that I have<br />
seen a fair share of troubles as well<br />
as successes.<br />
What the Lord holds for our<br />
futures, individually and as a<br />
whole ministry may not be clearly<br />
discernible but we can rest in the<br />
mighty arms of His Love.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Love that saw us close our year<br />
having watered the Hills of Keringet<br />
from the Living <strong>Fountain</strong>.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Love that saw us start our first<br />
steps with a trek at Oloolua.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Love that has seen us revive<br />
our Thursday meetings and have a<br />
more vibrant team of young men<br />
and ladies, ready to take up the<br />
Gospel mantle.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Love that has seen us grow in<br />
numbers as well as in good will.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Love that saw two spy teams<br />
I would also like to recognise all other members and<br />
associates of the <strong>Fountain</strong>s of Christ Ministry. You have<br />
been friends indeed: Oh, there is a friend that sticketh<br />
closer than a brother.<br />
Finally, to our dear reader. We hopr that this will be a<br />
blessing to you, as you bless us in turn. We appreciate<br />
your support, and would like to hear from you!<br />
head to the Plains of Kaewa and<br />
come with the wonderful message<br />
of a plentiful harvest awaiting<br />
reapers.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Love that has seen the wonderfully<br />
beautiful Executive team,<br />
though inexperienced, labour day<br />
and night to help the Ministry grow<br />
from glory to glory.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Love that will see to it that we<br />
go on to achieve our goals this year.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Love that will help us raise<br />
sufficient funds to support #Kaewa<strong>2016</strong><br />
and also buy equipment for<br />
the furthering of this gospel.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Love that will, by God’s pleasure,<br />
safely to the haven guide and<br />
receive our Souls at last.<br />
This Love,<br />
It leads us onward,<br />
It leads us homeward, to that glorious<br />
rest above!<br />
Oh how I long for that day!!<br />
In the meantime, Let us<br />
Serve Our Lord as His hosts above,<br />
Glory in His perfect love.<br />

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

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