Testimony

Ernest Wamboye good morning. Hope you’re fine. I came to you when I was an addict of masturbation and pornography, and I was lost not knowing what to do. I almost gave up. Thank God I didn’t give up. You had sessions with me plus others. Now for the first time am feeling am free from pornography and masturbation, it has been months since I did it with only one relapse. This morning I want to thank you for everything you did and for your prayers. May God bless you a lot and give you knowledge and wisdom to help others who are growing through what I had gone through.

MINISTRY UPDATES

The Wamboye’s have innovated a new board game. We are calling it “Logos: The Ultimate Bible Board Game.” Logos is an idea that started in 2017. Over the years, while doing youth ministry, we noticed a few gaps in the mission field. From a general observation, biblical illiteracy seemed to be on a steady increase, especially among urban youth and teens. Some had access to the scriptures but struggled to draw out their power for everyday living. Our time in the mission field has proven this fundamental truth to be solid- that intimacy with the scriptures is a vital weapon in a believer’s struggle against sin and pursuit of righteousness. We have given the people we have ministered to statistics on the benefit of scripture consumption and even taught them how to do a personal quiet time. But nothing has driven the point home like the charades game on the Bible that we started giving in 2017. With time, I developed the game into something more challenging that would spur individuals to know their Bible better and have competitive fun at the same time. I borrowed a few ideas from some popular board games we know and made our own unique version. After several test groups and feedback notes, we finally came up with LOGOS. Logos is a Greek Word that means God’s divine revelation. We have a board, a maximum of five teams, a timer and an explosion of fun that will make you want to really rev your Bible knowledge engines. It is a great resource for family devotions, hangouts with friends, holiday plans, church retreats, youth camps, and game nights. Logos will be available starting this December (a perfect Christmas gift) for 4900 KES. You can get your game by sending 4900 to Mpesa Paybill Number: 204 634 Account: Logos (It will read THE RELATIONSHIP CTR via Mpay).
