Sunday Morning Lesson
Teachers
Lesson Summary
The Sunday morning class began with the teacher welcoming the congregation and introducing guest speakers from Kenya who have partnered with Linder Road Church of Christ. George and Michael recounted the development of the Nairobi Great Commission School and the growth of Kivingo Church of Christ, describing how Douglas Kiyoko progressed from a water‑carrier to a teacher, then to a church leader after being baptized and supported by the Meridian congregation. They explained the strategy of establishing congregations in the Eastern Province of Kenya, where many residents travel to Mombasa for work but lack local worship communities, emphasizing the importance of teamwork among local schools, the Revival of Missions program, and Healing Hands. The teacher linked these stories to Scripture, highlighting the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19‑20) and the empowerment of believers (Acts 1:8) as the theological foundation for overseas missions. The class concluded with an invitation to attend an evening presentation by Nathan Odle, reinforcing the call for the local church to continue supporting global evangelism and discipleship.
