Aaron with Ehud Gachuga
and Daniel Wairagu Maina
Today was our last official meeting with Eastleigh Community Centre (ECC) director, Ehud Gachuga, as he completes his responsibilities this week before beginning a new position. Over the past four years, we have deeply appreciated Ehud's leadership as we have served together in partnership between Canadian Baptist Ministries and the Eastleigh Community Centre, a program of the Presbyterian Church of East Africa (PCEA).
We remember back to our first meeting with Ehud in the Fall of 2007 and for the way the Lord used him to encourage us and provide the platform that made the Iftin Women's Empowerment Program possible. We are so thankful for the ways that Ehud and the ECC team have welcomed us into their midst and given us the great privilege of being a part of the work of the community centre in "restoring lost hope"!
As the ECC board of directors search for a new director, our friend Daniel Wairagu has agreed to step into the role of acting-director of the community centre. Please pray for Daniel and the entire ECC staff as they pull together during this time of transition.
