This note is from John:
My name is John Kahindi Chengo. I am a Giryama in tribe and I live on the coast of Kenya. I was born in 1980 at Malindi District Hospital. I am the first born of five, with two brothers and two sisters. I went through 8 years in primary school in my home village of Msabaha and attended secondary school from 1996 to 1999.
My desire was to get a Degree in Biomedical Sciences after secondary school, but this has been impossible due to the fact that I do not have the financial means to pay the school fees. A degree was too expensive so I took a one year certificate in 2001-2002. After this, I thought that I would join for the degree, but still finances were a problem. So I took a diploma of the same course from 2002-2005.
After 2005, I also thought of immediately starting the degree course but up to now, am still waiting for God to help me get the fees. In 2000, I enrolled in a Bible school at Uzima Christian Training Center in Malindi, and I still take the Bible classes up to this day because I also want to be a Christian doctor. I have the desire of reaching people, sharing with them how to be spiritually and physically healthy. To achieve this, I am equipping myself with God's knowledge and with medical knowledge.
God is faithful enough and I believe that he will help me get the fees and the proper knowledge.
We would like to raise the money needed to help John get his degree. What a blessing he could be to the ministry on the coast! Imagine, a Giryama Christian doctor serving with us fulltime, among the poorest of the poor in East Africa! He would be the first doctor, and a Christian at that, willing to give his time in service to God’s people on the coast of Kenya! His father has agreed to pay for all other expenses, so this is a partnership; we’re not footing the whole bill.
$3,500 is needed to pay for John’s first year at college.
