PCEA Church Construction in Kenya - January 2021 Update
Dedication of PCEA Kiburuti Church in honor of Rev. Dr. Rob Weingartner
Dear friends,
Today, January 10th, we dedicated PCEA Kiburuti Church. The first picture shows the former church building and the second picture is their new church. EVERYONE was very excited about “their new modern church.” It was completed in about three months with the congregation doing all the masonry work and then donors through The Outreach Foundation finishing the upper part of the church.
When the construction started at the end of October, the church had 40 members. By the time the church was completed the congregation had increased their numbers to 60. I predict the church will grow to 100 by year’s end.
The church is located in Central Province about a five-hour drive from our home base. It is at the foothills of the Aberdare Mountains, beautiful countryside. Despite the beauty, the people living here are subsistence farmers and have very little.
This is a very special church for all of us in Kenya and our Outreach colleagues in the U.S. since it honors The Outreach Foundation’s recently retired Executive Director Rob Weingartner, who we all miss.
The old church will be renovated into two classrooms, with our help, and will be used for Sunday School classes and nursery school classes. Nothing will go to waste!
The day was capped with a luncheon before we headed home.
Blessings,
Stu
