Yesterday it was a colorful Sabbath day. It was the eve of the 3 day convention of Children Leaders from all over East and Central Africa. One of the key presenters was Dr. Linda Koh, the Director of Children Ministries at Seventh-Day world headquarters in Silver Springs, Maryland, USA. The theme of the meeting was,
Train up a child today, and build the church of tomorrow.' There were many topics which were presented in order to equip the participants before retiring to their home countries. However the most impressive speech, was given by Pr Ruguri, who is the President of Seventh-Day Adventists Church in the region which covers the entire East and Central Africa. The speech was based on the story of David and Goliath. Although it is one of the famous story in the bible, but it came as a new story yesterday. With a lot of wit and sense of humor Elder Ruguri made the following points:
1. Never leave for assignment until you've received instructions from your father
2. The bigger the challenges the bigger the graces from God
3. Women can never dance until you have accomplished a major feat
4. Choose stones (methods) that matter
5. David had a philosophy of doing things which all people were afraid of
