    Apocalyptic Eschatology in Matthew 25:31-46 Its Message for Nairobi's Vijiji Today
    (Tangaza University College, 2002-12-12) Powell, Carmel
    During my years in Southern Africa I have been amazed to see the diversity of the social conditions in which people live. However, it was only in Kenya that I have encountered human misery in a degree I could not imagine before. On top of this. I have experienced a wide range the faiths/churches and communities to which people seek refuge from their often hopeless existence The enrolment in the "mushrooming" faith communities does not necessarily mean the improvement of living conditions. but it gives something else in return, perhaps some sense of belonging and above all hope for the better future. My first visits in the Nairobi's vim, like Kibcra, were exciting and challenging at the same time.

Today it is important to discover that the times and people change but the Gospel message is still relevant and God's Word remains dynamic.
