Following her May graduation (magna cum laude) from Asbury College, Rahab Kinyua is now attending a ten week course in Lineville, AL sponsored by SIFAT (Servants in Faith and Technology). the course is designed to train international missionaries and community leaders in practical skills that will impact the poor around the world. They learn everything from water purification methods, alternative energy sources, sustainable agriculture, and appropriate technologies to delivering babies. These are skills we plan to incorporate into the training curriculum at Providence, and Rahab's training will be a bonus in their application. In the photo above, Rahab (center) is enjoying her international roommates at SIFAT.
Rahab is the wife of Silas Waweru who is completing his PhD at Asbury Theological Seminary. The original vision for Providence was Silas' passion and he returns to Kenya to teach at most sessions. Silas, Rahab and their son Solomon have been guides for many of RUMC's mission trips to Kenya. They will return to Kenya permanently in May 2010 where they will devote themselves to Providence.
