Perhaps the most exciting thing that is happening in WEI today is the work of Nkurunziza Jean De La Paix in Nairobi. Jean is a Rwandan refugee, and God is using him to spread the Good News about Christ in Kenya.
On September 14, Jean said, “I am writing to tell you about the baptism of Dennis Peter Nyamari that took place on September 6, 2006. Nyamari is 41 years old. He is married, and he has six children. He lives with his family in a slum called Kawangware here in Nairobi. Another WEI student introduced him to me. He was enrolled with WEI on the same day. He has finished both basic and advanced WEI courses. He also has gone through all WBS, and he is now in the process of enrolling with NationsUniversity.”
On October 4, Jean sent another e-mail saying that Joseph Malek Mabior had been baptized on the 3rd of October. Joseph is a 24-year-old refugee who fought in Sudan as a child soldier. Jean says, “His former life was not easy, but through an aggressive discussion in the word of God, the Holy Spirit cut his heart, and I was happy to help him in his noble decision to be a citizen of the Kingdom of God.”
Jean says, “We are committed to help him grow spiritually.”
On October 23, Jean sent yet another e-mail to tell us about the baptisms of Dorris Lenah Kavae, her son Nicholas Lleve, and a man by the name of John Otieno Ondiek.” Dorris is a 32-year-old married woman who works as an inspector at the Riruta Health Center in Kwangware. She has completed the basic Bible and English courses and is now studying the Advanced Bible Course.
Nicholas, Dorris’ eleven-year-old firstborn son, had been studying WBS materials when he expressed his desire to be baptized. Peter Milimo and Jean studied with him further and found no reason to refuse his baptism.
John Otieno Ondiek, a 34-year-old Kenyan who works as a Security Driver, thought he was a Christian, but after studying with WEI and WBS, he realized that he was not and was baptized.
