At 12 noon Saturday 7th August, about 70 of us gathered at Ngong town each one with either packed lunch or snacks in a bag. For some of us it was going to be our first time to hike up these very famous hills which are on the outskirts of Nairobi. In the group there were not only campus students, majority from Campus life KU but also youth members from Nairobi Pentecostal Church Ngong. Up we started in small groups, and yes in about 1 ½ hours or so we were slowly getting there. The wardens were on sight to ensure we were safe from any attacks by wild animals. We played and sang Sunday school and nursery songs, and some cultural cheer songs like mloongo ahoo, mloongo ahoo. I understand this is a luhya song sang during the Cut of the boys.

Kanda gives the directions
ready to go
Ben ingia ndani..ujiringeringe..
lollipops in abundance
it couldn't have been better

the label of our freshmen outreach this year
Apart from the fun and the food, we had a chance to recast the vision of this year’s orientation of freshmen which begins in KU on Monday 23rd. Cheche Wambui shared her story which emphasized how strategic it is to reach the first years for Christ. “Were it not for those who showed me love that first week on campus, I don’t know how my life would have been these 3 years.”
And so on 23rd till 28th August about 150 continuing students will gather in KU. And together we shall strategically sieze each opportunity to show love to the freshmen and women. Moreover we shall share with them the love of God. Won’t you want to be part of this great outreach event?
