Richard Chepkwony named the Chairman fo Siriat Bible School's Board

Mr. Richard has had several coats in the field of leadership and administration. he is serving the government as a chief in his Londiani area. He has been the Coordinator for the Kilon Bible School and this last weekend he put on another coat of responsibility as the Chairman of the Board of Siriat Bible School. An alumni of NGCS, Richard is very qualified for this new responsibility. We believe that he would the only one who could most effectively fit into the huge shoes left behind by the late David Sambu. May we pray for him and the entire family of the Church in the larger Rift Valley region that Siriat Bible School serves. May God give him success and bless him abundantly. Amen

Since late last year, the leadership of South Nyanza churches of Christ have been talking seriously about re-energizing their leadership training programs. As these talks kicked off a need for general evaluation of the churches in the area was engaged. It was revealed that most sectors were not doing as well as we want to see. A need to refocus the entire church became indispensable. A team of leaders have thus been working on a draft strategic plan for the next five years. The draft is nearing its completion in the next one month. We will then embark on the work of sensitizing the churches about it to earn their useful input, critic and endorsement. Last Saturday, the draft went through the hands of a wider spectrum of leadership. This meeting endorsed a greater enrolment at a training program scheduled for April 16 to 21, 2012 at Winyo Training Centre.  Churches of Christ have the potential to grow to 200 congregations in the next five years. That will only happen with quality training of evangelists.
