BARATON 28th GRADUATION

NTV in Baraton

On July 1, 2011 the Nation TV media came to Baraton to do their coverage on the Nandy Hill county. They chose UEAB as their base where the news was broadcasted through out the country. I took this opportunity to talk to one of the Nation TV presenter named Joe after the church on Saturday July 2. That weekend from July 1-3 UEAB and the Nandy area was shown on the NTV.

Justin, Deo, Eugene and Therese were very impressed with the beauty of UEAB campus.

"We've seen Bara pictures on your blog, now we've seen the real beauty of beautiful bara".

"I want to send my children to study here".
"We 've never thought that Baraton is this big, there are more you should promote about Bara".

They came here for the first time to defend their MBA thesis. I took them around the campus on Sunday June 26, 2011.

The following pictures are from our campus tour and their thesis defend on June 27, 2011.

A visit from our Indonesian GC officer

Pastor Dr. Jonathan Kuntaraf our General conference Sabbath School and Family & Personal Director made a surprise visit to us last Friday June 3, 2011. It was a very short visit, but a meaningful for us, because June 4 is our wedding anniversary. He took part as speaker for Sabbath Divine worship then joined us the Asian missionaries for the potluck lunch and also prayed for our 24th anniversary. GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME. At 17:00 pm he left to Nairobi. Alwyn and Kathleen Yonathan his nephew/niece in law, who also serve here in Baraton as music teachers were also very happy.

PROMOTION AND OUTREACH

May 14, 2011 two groups from Baraton left campus early for the promotion and outreach program. One group led by Dr. Fred Amimo, our newly elected Deputy Vice Chancellor with UEAB Choir went to Sunshine SDA church in Eldoret. Our group with Dr. and Mr. Banaga visited Kaborok High School in Kericho. We left at about 7:00 am and arrived in Kaborok at around 10:00 am.

The Sabbath program which were  coordinated by Kaborok High School was actually a combined church service for the SDA high school students from the surrounding area.   They called it Adventist Youth Rally, a preparation for the grand UEAB - AY rally which is scheduled on May, 2011.

Mr. Elkanah Maina our Student Finance accountant was the main speaker for the Divine worship. After lunch we continued with promotion and guidance counseling program by Dr. Nangoy, Dr. Banaga and Mr. Mayaka.

We finished the program at about 16:00 pm, then we visited the father of Nathan Chepkwony (one of the Outreach member) who was just recovered from a stroke.The family was so kind, generous and we really enjoyed the hot coco-milk with mandazi.
