Dear Confreres and Friends,
I regret to inform you that Sylvester Chimenge lost his elder sister Mary Chansa Chanda in Kitwe (Zambia) today. This comes at a difficult time as Sylvester prepares for his oath and diaconate this coming weekend in Nairobi.
May the soul of Mary rest in perfect peace.

May her Soul Rest In Perfect Peace.
May she rest in peace! And let us kip our brother in our prayer.
Dear Confreres, friends and families of the Missionaries of Africa, I take this opportunity to thank you all for the support and encouragement you have given me especially during this period of pain after the death of my beloved elder sister. It was only by the power of your prayers that yesterday I managed to stand on the altar and promise to carry my cross and follow Jesus. My brothers and sisters, yesterday I made my final Oath in the presence of our Superior General and I was validly ordained to diaconate by His Lordship Emmanuel Barbara Bishop of Malindi. The experience of yesterday really brought back joy into my heart for, I lost my sister physically but in the same week I gained the blessings of God in abundance. As I begin the ministry of service, I need your prayers more, so that I may exercise this ministry with love and humility. wish you all the blessings of the Almighty God. Your’s in Christ’ Sylvester Chimenge.
