Saturday in Nairobi

Hello again,
it rarely happens that I am in Nairobi on a Saturday. This week finds me in class at Pan African Christian University where I am taking classes related to issues on Leadership. The course I am taking these few weeks is part of a Masters program here at the University. This course is geared towards a degree in Christian ministry. The particular course I am doing right now is called Strategic Leadership, which is really inspiring and eyeopening in the same time. I found the timing very excellent, because in every aspect of our ministry, we are doing things related to Strategy, trying to find out where we want to go with our organization. What kind of a future do we prefer to see in the next 5 years. And what can we do to achieve the desired results. We are doing strategic planning in our organization right now, and I am so glad that I am in the course so that I can contribute to the discussion to the best of my knowledge. Even in the Hospital where I am working we just completed a Strategic Plan for the next 10 years and it was implemented with a great celebration so that everybody around us could realize that these guys at the Hospital are still alive and kicking and they are moving forward and seemingly even knwo where they want to go.
It has been a great time of growth for me personally and I also realize that a lot of the things I learn go straight back into the ministry, therefore I thank God for the opportunity to learn again and for the practical insights I am getting.
Have a wonderful weekend, Thomas
