Samro School

MANY THANKS FOR YOUR PRAYERS FOR THE NATION OF KENYA.  The political situation is much better these days in Kenya for which we praise the Lord.  Samro School is considered excellent with 250 children and next month they give boarding for 40 to 80 children.  There is much pressure from Missionaries, Christians and Civil Servants who are transferred often.  Education here others say is among the best in the region and for that we thank God.  Attached are few photos during our Easter outreach.The group of three denominations were about 1,000 people.Our kids from The Chidren's home impacted many lives as they sang and said memory verses. This was in Ainabkoi Scheme.
    They are excited that they can serve this way and to touch many lives.  They often train Missionaries from different Districts of Kenya.  There are good demonstrations in their Kitchen Garden: two fish bonds and chicken coups above the waters with 19 chickens.  They are feeding the fish very well.  They are growing Oyster Mushrooms for food, sale, and Training our earthworms are in thousands and are making wonderful compost for us.  They have wonderful orchard with 8 types of fruits with about 10 thousands of trees and tree seedlings ready for sale.  They are bringing in Rabbits soon and the dairy goats are very good but we sill have a long way to produce the milk we want.  God supplies.

  These reports were sent to me just before Christmas this year.  "The ELI MINISTRY has grown so wonderfully and many lives were impacted this year.  We have many Pastors and church groups that came for training and the follow up was very exciting.  We had missions to High Schools also and youth conferences and many lives were impacted. 

Kamwago Group are doing very well with Baby carrots for export.  The Paw paw tree project is doiing well.  Picture at right.  Kapng’etik group is growing mushrooms and Samich are preparing  for dairy cows management.  We gave cows to three Pastors and two of them have improved their family income through the sale of milk. The other one is still waiting for the cow to calve. 

     About 80 recovered Alcoholics were transformed. All of them were trained in “skills for Life” at UTDC. We are glad that most of them are sober even now.

    Two youths were trained, one in Diploma in Marketing  Management and the other in Diploma in Computer  Engineering and both passed  very well. Thanks to Spirit In Action and Heavenly Treasures.

     UTDC would like to train in areas that improve the economic standards in families. We have Organic gardening where the soil is improved for better yield in a small area and avoiding chemicals and fertilizers.

 We train in Mushroom growing, Fish Farming, Dairy Goat/Cow management, Forestry, Gardening, Rabbits and Poultry management and Composting through plant materials, Earthworms, and Animal manure.  Our staff led by Patrick Kiprop are well motivated this year because of the changed lives. 

SAMRO SCHOOL - Samro School was Registered with the Government of Kenya and we really thank God. We now have 262 kids and 91 of them are from our Ilula Orphanage.  Almost all of them have been impacted Spiritually and their academics improved greatly. We have a committed staff led by Rhoda. 

  As you can see they are doing a wonderful work there in Kenya and need all the help they can receive.  All funds contributed to us for them will be given to them plus whatever JBMI itself can do.  Blessings!

  I first met Samuel and Rhoda Teimuge in 1980 when we had  our first CFO Camp at Hill School in Eldoret.  They were newly married and richly blessed Barbe and I in the way they received us and their evident commitment to the Lord Jesus.  This year we had them in our home for a visit and again we were deeply impressed with their commitment to the Lord and their commitment to their own needy people in Kenya.  After 14 years working with World Vision they have now started their  own new work.  The mailing address of their Samro School is PO Box 1968, Eldoret, Kenya E.A. phone # 0722636307 or 0720931340 email teimuge@yahoo.com. 

To the left are some of the early dormitories used for the children.

Here you can learn of their wonderful ministry in Samuel's own words as of May 2007!  "Samro School is a private Christian School which education is based on Biblical foundation.  Located 11 kilometers off Eldoret-Iten road, north east of Eldoret City in a village of Ilula next to their Ukweli Training and Development Center and Ilula Children's Home.  It has 262 kids from pre-school to standard 6.  91 of these are the orphans from the Children's home.  Currently, they have 11 teachers and 5 support staff.  The school is owned and managed by the Teimuge family with Rhoda as director and Samuel as Manager. 

Eldoret City is 350 kilometers west of Nairobi.  The people around the school are small scale farmers who live below the poverty level and is characterized by illicit brewing, alcoholism, drug abuse and HIV/AIDS pandemic.  Many people and especially young people have lost hope. 

Samro is trying to bring a positive change through our children.  The moral walls of our society is broken down.  We are called to bind up the broken hearted, proclaim freedom for captives and release from darkness for prisoners.

Faith Statement:

~~ Raise up a new generation after God's own heart. 

~~ Grow roots and develop wings for these kids. 

~~ Putting faith, hope and love together, so that we raise positive kids in a negative world. 

~~ Building godly families.

Objectives:

~~ To develop a whole round child both spiritually and mentally. 

~~ To develop talents useful to the building of Kenya nation and beyond.

~~ To provide curriculum programs for pre-school, primary, secondary and middle college.  Proverbs 22:6: Train a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not turn from it.  We must teach our children how to dream with their eyes open.  They are long term investments.

Chapel: We started a Chapel which has over 60 members excluding the orphans.  It is also growing very fast.  Ukweli Training And Development Center (UTDC) is a project where the area farmers are learning in bio-intensive gardening and business skills."

Jim Brunner Ministries will transfer 100% of all gifts donated for this ministry to their bank account in Eldoret, Kenya!  Do pray for them and thanks for your help.
