I am on Skype

I now have a SKYPE-IN Number which will make it easier for my American friends to get in touch with me without incurring international calling charges. (My friends in Kenya can still find me at Tudor, Safcom or Celtel - So now we can Ongea Bila Ubaguzi for real)! The number is 919-827-0600; it's a Raleigh, NC number [Mmmm I wonder why?] and here is how it works:

The SkypeIn number is a regular phone number so any charges that might regularly occur from calling a number in that location still apply.
An example: If you have a SkypeIn number in New York and a friend living in New York calls your SkypeIn number from a regular landline they will not be charged anything. But if a friend in Los Angeles calls your New York number they will get charged the long distance fees that they would normally get charged for a LA to New York call.
Just think of your SkypeIn number as a regular phone number, because it is!

Lets take advantage of the Global village network and KEEP IN TOUCH!

In America Safe


Allison made it to America safely...Praise the Lord!

Obama


Is this Obama guy as good as I think or is it just my Luo Blood being heavier than water - Holler at your boy.

Check out his video (it's 3 minutes long). http://www.barackobama.com/video/

Apart Again:(


Allison left on the January 16th to go back to America...Please pray for us to have the strength of God to wait for His timing as we continue with our lives apart again (for the 3rd time now). I will be joining her sometime in the summer (May-June) after my current BTCP class graduates. We will then get married, raise support and then come back to Kenya and settle to do ministry here indefinitely.
Thank you for your prayer and support during this hard time for us. Romans 8:28 continues to be an encouragement to us.

Happy New Year

I hope you started the year well and God has blessed you with every spiritual blessing in Christ thus far! We opened the year in Busia with my family. As 2006 came to a close and as we ushered in the New Year I could not stop thinking of the words of the good apostle Paul in Phillipian 3: "I'm not saying that I have this all together, that I have it made. But I am well on my way, reaching out for Christ, who has so wondrously reached out for me. Brothers, it is clear to me that I have not come to that knowledge; but one thing I do, letting go those things which are past, and stretching out to the things which are before..." and thats what I want to do this year 2007! Forgetting the past and reaching on to the future with Jesus! Paul also says in the book, [For my determined purpose is] that I may know Him [that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders of His Person more strongly and more clearly], and that I may in that same way come to know the power outflowing from His resurrection [which it exerts over believers], and that I may so share His sufferings as to be continually transformed [in spirit into His likeness even] to His death, [in the hope] May this ever be our prayer, not to aquire great wealth, great homes and education and popularity among our peers but to KNOW Christ more deeply and more intimately!
May this New Year Be Good, Wonderful and Prosperous for you and your family!
