Press Conference


My first time to meet the New Chief of Staff was in press Conference organized during the WYC in Sweden!

World Youth Convention - Sweden



World Youth Convention Sweden 15 - 19 July 2010


The World Youth Convention we had with The Salvation Army was fantastic, over 1,100 participants from all over the world. It was incredible, different cultures, uniforms, people with different features but all being brought together by one calling for being Salvationsts. It was a great reminder of 'Who we are' As The Salvation Army, a challenge for all young people of this Generation to take on hardcore issues on social responsibilities, social justice, call for officership for soldiership and keenness to talk about 'Holiness' as it applies to The Salvation Army. The worship and focus group discussions were phenomenal.

An opportunity for many to experience Christ in fresh ways, and a chance to see The Salvation Army with fresh lenses until the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. A calling for every person of this generation to take on a role in mentoring others so that there is a generation progression of faith, power and vision.

It was great to meet friends from all over the world we had connected during the Regional team process, from Ghana, Mozambique, Bangladesh, Rwanda, Uganda, Tanzania, USA, UK, Denmark e.t.c. The Youth convention in Sweden was a Whirlwind of hope and reflection for all that attended, the application will remain with each person. In Kenya we have had a first meeting of everyone who was in Sweden and we are working on developing a resource pool of young people to be utilized within the Territory for Gods work...

I had a chance to feel youthful and have my face painted....yay Sweden!

This and That...

Dear Friends,

Its been a while since I last wrote a blog, lots of things have changed since my last entry, the major reason why its taken a while before writting.

First of all, The Regional Team finished end of June last year, and the work was relocated to an Africa Zonal office based in Nairobi.

I am now involved in our own consultancy firm called Kenya Competence ( you can find us on) www.aidscompetence.ning/group/kenyacompetencetrust. Most of you have also seen our blog of dorcus beads http://dorcusbeads.blogspot.com. The jewellery is made from recycled glossy paper.

These things have kept me busy, but have also opened my eyes in what things matter in life. Part of the work ie energy, passion and 'fire', will always remain embedded in my life as it has shaped who I am, and part of it has been transfered while other parts I have let go, growing up into new things and moving on.

The future is 'long', and its exciting, and creates a hunger and expectation to what is 'unseen'. I walk into the future in faith knowing that all will be well, letting go things that hinder my progress and carefully selecting others that add on value.

Peace...

Meble
