Last week, I did Biblical Interpretation workshop in Nanyuki Town. During the session, many students' frameworks and understandings were challenged by the teachings presented in our manual. These teachings provided new perspectives that caused students to reflect deeply on their approach to interpreting the Bible. As a result, many participants expressed that from now on, they will strive to be more honest and faithful to the word of God in their studies and daily lives. Please find the picture from the event attached below.

Best regards,

I am doing well in this part of the world, engaging myself in making sure the ECLEA vision is in course.
I did my fourth conference last month, 25-27th July.  Our subject of the day was The Church: Its Nature, Mission, and Purpose. The conference was so good in terms of members, interactions, questions, and answers from the participants. In fact this kind of participation has yielded oneness among different church members.
My fifth conference will be at the end of this month of August. Below is a photo of the participants.

In the weekend of 5-7 July, we did 1 Timothy in Nairobi with a group of leaders numbering about 25.

Three things that stood out were:
1. Leadership isn't easy but a calling.
2. Leaders must lead by example.
3. Leadership is both a calling & a skill.

The delegates were so much thankful for the material & they are looking forward to the next training session.

    

Thank you Jonathan & ECLEA partners for the continued support to reach out many with ECLEA materials.

Our latest engagement with ECLEA material was last week at Transformation Ministries Church - Khung'ngu with about 15 church leaders. We did the Book of Esther

The greatest takeaway is the appreciation that as much as God is not mentioned by name, He is seen working behind the scenes at all levels.

Esther gives us a good ground to trust God even if He is not seen.

Thank you ECLEA as you help the East African church to be rooted in sound doctrine. The churches are getting healthier and stronger.

Regards,

David Njeru

Our second training in Nairobi was held in Nairobi Central Business District with relatively young leaders in the month of March and then concluded in April due to unavoidable logistics.

The obvious choice was 1 Timothy. Training and equipping leaders has never been in greater demand that today. The main reason is to pass the baton to the next generation. After the training, what came out clearly was the emphasis of the qualifications of a leader. The 15 of them is not a suggestion but mandatory.

    

I want to thank ECLEA together with the partners for supporting such a great ventures of equipping church leaders in East Africa.

Regards,

Rev. David Njeru

This year since January up to this month, I had done three conferences. We started with Biblical Stewardship in Maresi Kabukatenyi near Mount Elgon. We pray one day you will reach the place. The church is growing very first. I have done two conference now.   I have finished teaching 1 Timothy in Kakamega early this month.

Generally I am very with the materials of ECLEA you are providing to us. Also I am going to have a conference of Bible Literacy on 28th this month for mum Rosemary material. Moreso I am using the book of Parental and Marriage materials to teach in one of our luggage Radio station Sulwe FM western Kenya every Wednesday. I am reaching more than ten thousand people every week. It is the product of ECLEA. God bless you Man of God and all that sponsoring us to do all these work.

Yours faithful Bishop Justus Wafula

I feel so good to report to you that I am still on the ground, fulfilling our core mandate of equipping the people of God, with  the truth of the Bible. I did my last conference last weekend, 25-27/4/024.

In this conference we were talking about BIBLICAL STEWARDSHIP, a subject that so dear to me, especially when I am presenting the good points in our manual. As usual the attendance was very encouraging, taking in the account that senior pastors and their juniors listen to what ECLEA can offer to the church community. The manual has undisputable facts, first of the Bible and of the reality.

Blessings,

Fredrick

I am posting my second conference this year. It was very successful, and we had good time to learn together. Senior pastors and church leaders came out very well. Interaction was of high quality as majority asked questions. This platform is enhancing our learning capacity as we continue to teach these biblical truths.

My second conference was on 21st to 23th March. We were learning about Biblical Stewardship; it was so good. Participation was excellent.  My prayer is that this vision will continue, so that we may continue to equip the church of Jesus Christ.

Best regards, Fredrick

I am reporting my first conference this year 2024. This was on 27 to 29/2/2024.
We engaged ourselves on the book of JAMES. 

The conference was so good and the participant's engaged so well with the contents of the book. You know this book touches the daily life of every Christian and therefore becomes very practical. I believe the vision you had from the beginning is continuing bearing fruits.
           
My second conference is in this month of March and it is properly scheduled..
I have attached photo of the conference.

God bless you,

ECLEA REPORT FOR WANJOHI NYANDARUA MEETING ON THE BOOK OF
JONAH. 21-22 FEBRUARY, 2024 VENUE, GGFAN CHURCH WANJOHI

The meeting continued well on the above dates. The teachers were James N. Kamau and Samuel Ndirangu. The following denominations were represented. The meeting had 8 participants.
1. GGFAN Church Wanjohi, (Hosts)
2. Gospel Equippers Ministry Church

REPORTS
REV. NDIRANGU – Learnt on the importance of obeying God, unlike Jonah. He noted the heavy consequences that Jonah underwent because of disobedience.

PST. EZEKIEL NJUGUNA – Learnt on the importance of not mixing faith with other things i.e. syncretism. He noted that it was important to keep the faith pure so as to experience the presence of God at all times.

ANN NDIRANGU – Learnt on the importance of history as true. She was able to understand that the story of Jonah is not fiction but true. This was also proved by the Lord Jesus Christ when he referred to Jonah as real history that happened.

MRS. RACHEAL NJOKI – Was surprised as he learnt on the anger of Jonah. She realized that his anger was not necessary. This was because he was angry at the doings of the Lord and he is sovereign.

We thank our partners and sponsors of ECLEA for enabling the program to run through their sponsorship.

ECLEA REPORT FOR NAIVASHA MEETING ON THE BOOK OF JONAH. 21-22
FEBRUARY, 2024 VENUE, CHRISTIAN OUTREACH MINISTRIES, WORLDWIDE
MUSAKA
The meeting continued well on the above dates. The teachers were James N. Kamau and Tom
Mboya. It had had 13 delegates. The following major denominations were represented.
1. Kenya Light Congregation
2. Christian Outreach Ministries Worldwide (hosts)
3. Redeemed Gospel Church
4. Gospel Equippers Ministry Church
5. Stewardship Revival Church
6. Jesus Revival Gospel Church
7. God’s word and Holy Ghost Church
8. Glorious Church

REPORTS
APOSTLE WAIGUA - Of God’s word and Holy Ghost Church the only minister who had a
turban felt he had benefited much from the teachings. He saw how important it is for ministers to
obey their call and not be disobedient like Jonah, because there are consequences.
REV. ROBERT MAINA – Learnt on the compassion of God where God gave Jonah a second
chance, instead of doing away with him.
TABITHA CHEGE – Learnt on the reality of the story of Jonah as true history. She understood
that this story is not fiction but true. This is proven by Jesus who quoted Jonah during his
teachings.
REV. JOHN NGIGE – Was particularly taken back by looking closely at the anger of Jonah
which according to him was unwarranted. Jonah was angry at God for saving the Ninevites,
because they were their enemies. He was able to clearly see the sovereignty of God, in this
picture.
REV. GABRIEL KAMAU – Learnt on the importance of being sincere in our prayers. Jonah
prayed while in the belly of the fish, but later we see that he was not sincere, because we later see
his hatred of the Ninevites, when God saved them.
Once again we are grateful to our sponsors of the Eclea program who have made it possible for
our people to be taught.

January 2024: Greetings from Nairobi Kenya.

The year started on a very busy note by finalizing a pending meeting from last year's schedule. This was partly informed by the change of dates for the planned Book of Habakkuk. However, this was done the weekend ending Sunday 14 January with 11 church leaders in South C as pictured (their leader holding the training manual).

The problem of a righteous God allowing evil is a big question in the minds of many leaders and the same was addressed adequately by Habakkuk. The most appreciated bit was that evil is necessary for testing, disciplining, and sanctifying.

Another major take away was that God cannot possibly eliminate evil completely; at least for now, since by doing so He has to do away with human beings and the world itself.

Thank you Jonathan & ECLEA supporters. These resources are really changing lives.
