Truth Connect was in Kenya for two Leadership Training Conferences (LTCs) in October, 2017. The first was hosted by Glory Baptist Church (see previous post). The second LTC was hosted by Jesus Love Ministry (JLM) and Bishop Wilson Kurui and his wife Christine. This was their first ever conference and they were so excited to host it at their main campus a few kilometers south of Eldoret. Jesus Love Ministry rescues abandoned and orphaned children and provides them safe shelter, care and school. They currently care for over 70 children ages 1 year old to teenagers. Bishop Wilson and Christine were excellent host & hostess to the nearly 100 LTC attendees, some came from as far away as the east coast city of Mumbai and others from Uganda to the west. There was great enthusiasm and expectation to learn principles of leadership and discipleship at the LTC. Dr. Don Schreier and Mr. Ron Braley, founder of Finding Discipleship were the instructors for the two day conference.

| This picture speaks volumes! Angel, on the left, is embracing and loving the little one who is frightened by Mzungu (the white guy taking her picture, i.e. Don). About two years ago, Angel was the little girl who was abandoned in a field at 3 weeks old and protected by a pack of dogs until rescued and brought to JLM. The rescued is now the rescuer ~ how precious! |
