Planning conference 2011

From the 6-8th January a small group decided to cut short their christmas holidays to go and do planning in a quite location in nyeri central kenya....... be posted to know more about what is in store for the family of friends we have and put out your contributions

about family of friends

We are a people from may nations who care about each other enough that we gather together in small groups on a regular basis, think together, discuss together, pray together and play together in order to learn to:
a) Love unconditionally
b) Serve God and not money
c) Humble ourselves
d) Give without seeking a return
e) Empower and not control
f) Show mercy, not revenge
g) Seek justice and freedom for all people
h) Encourage and not discourage
i) Spread hop and not despair
j) Spread hope and not doubt
We have decide to do this together in order to establish throughout the world a “revolution of love” so powerful that the division and animosity separations people and nations will be greatly eliminated or replaced by the spirit of forgiveness and reconciliation as modeled by Jesus of Nazareth
Jesus said this can only be accomplished by the transforming of the human heart by the power of God and not man, which is causing us, little by little and step by step to begin to;
a) Think like Jesus
b) Talk like Jesus
c) Act like Jesus
d) Love like Jesus
This then is creating a climate throughout the world where men and women will find the order of the day
a) To see the invisible
b) To believe the incredible
c) To do the impossible
In spite of the fact that many think thisis an unachievable drean, we as a family of friends are learning to become better citizens of our own nations and of the world. We are learning on a day to day basis what it means to “love God and to love our neighbors as our selves,”We call each other brothers and sisters according to the command of Jesus
We are learning to love and forgive our enemies. We are experiencing, in some small degree, the liberating power of”doing unto others what we would want to do unto us”.
Yes, the dream still seems a long way off, but we are discovering each day the excitement of giving our lives to follow a “leader” that will succeed, rather that a leader that will ultimately fail.
