"And now, friends, we ask you to honor those leaders who work so hard for you, who have been given the responsibility of urging and guiding you along in your obedience. Overwhelm them with appreciation and love.” (1 Thessalonians 5:12-13)
The Clergy are men & women like other folk. They are imperfect, have shortcomings, get cranky, and are not always rock solid 24 hours a day. They get weary from wearing so many hats: preparing sermons, counseling, attending board meetings, preparing for Weekly and Sunday services, going on visitations, spending time with the family, making major decisions for family and ministry issues, etc.
The best we can do to support these men and women of God is to:
Today I take this opportunity to salute, respect and appreciate all the men and women who have sacrificially given themselves to serve the LORD with diligence.
Particularly, i want to applaud my PASTORS/MENTORS...
Bishop Mwatha- A friend of all and a man of wisdom.
Rev Irungu- i just love the way you preach without mincing words, you are a blessing.
Rev Alfred Nyaoro- I didn't know I had the Ministry of Teaching until you prophesied it over me in one kesha sitawahi sahahu- u challenged me to take up the ministry and now, this far i have come, I JUST LOVE and ENJOY Children Ministry. You inspired me Thank you. Mom Maria, you are more than a friend- I luv you sana-unajua vile umekuwa ukinibariki-the encouragements)
Rev G, you also added so much value in my life- The first time, you saw Leadership skills in me and appointed me Leader in Tupos class and later on P57 Class and Youth service committee, You laid hands on me (can't forget the sermon- from 1 Tim 1:6- For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands)
Pastor Guchu, am proud to have you, thanks for always checking up on me and praying for me. Umekuwa wa baraka sana ( Just remembering the days when i was in high school and i used to come for the Worship team Keshaz-Kweli tumetoka mbali)
Pastor Kogi, I will forever be grateful- thank you for allowing God to use you- High School ministry has been a real joy since 2007- My first opportunity you gave me to minister at PEFA WEST DISTRICT Youth Convention at Ngando PEFA and at Kyieni.
Pastor Collins, i still remember the humble beginnings ( going to Dr. Aggrey,Muslim, Pumwani, St Brigits, Child survival primary schools and St Johns seeking for opportunities to preach in their PPI sessions- that zeal was really an inspiration. You gave me the courage and inspired the passion in me)
My Colleagues in Sunday school Ministry- You guyz ROCK. I luv, Respect and Appreciate you for your endless sacrifice and support in the ministry
Lastly and not least, all the members of Commissioners For Christ Ministry- Karumba'z, Mukui'z, Job'z the least is endless- You have all been such a blessing in my life.

Kachel
