RIVERBANK C.U, MT KENYA AND MY ADVENTURES THEREIN

As I type this , I cant help but to marvel at the beauty and the splendor of Mt Kenya region. Yes I said i love it big time.Three years ago, I made a journey to this place- a place I had never set foot before. For me ,it was a perfect opportunity to learn and never mind the fact that I have always wanted to be contend with what God has instilled in me.
 From the word go, life was proving to be challenging but alas! an assurance that God gave Jeremiah he knew him before he came to 'life' always made a triumphant entry into my heart. I had joined Karatina University College[then called] and I tell you what ? Jeez! cold and snow breeze... I couldnt stomach a reality that it was going to be my home for my whole four year academic lifebut oh my!I was in it for the long haul.
As days passed, reality sunk deeper in me that this was God's plan and he had already predetermined the same prior to my knowledge as usual  Challenges ? Yes they were there..Indeed in plenty. Talk of culture shock, weather changes , Kikuyu dialect that was all over that I wasn't conversant[of course am not badly off now].. wait a minute, did I mention the elephant in the room ? I bet not.Financial hurdles- I often referred to it as financial adjustments.  Not once, not twice but many times, I got myself having more needs than the cash but that's normal and God's faithfulness was always all over me. I could still wake up and thank God that I couldn't count the blessings he had bestowed to me .
Three years aint a joke lads, its a lifetime for a student of my 'pedigree' .. Yes I quoted that because i am not sure if I have a pedigree but my point is, three years is a long time.  A lot of water has since passed under the bridge and my life has surely changed big time.
Amongst the degrees that I have gotten in campus includes and is not limited to my love and zeal for Christ Jesus. Indeed it couldn't have come at any better time than this. After joining campus, I had to find a place I will be calling a 'church'..Of course we come from a society that allows church going as a mere ritual and culture on our Sundays  or Saturdays. On this day some people  have always pretended to be holier than thou[no offense intended] albeit for some few hours in that day but that aside , its a story for another day.
I then made a bold move to Riverbank Christian Union
My experience in Riverbank C.U was and still is a life changing in many ways. Its interesting to be in a 'church' of only the youthful and not just that but zealous on matters of the kingdom.

From the onset, I loved going to church, attending to various activities never mind my 'complacent nature and mind from the village.Right from the word go, God has been teaching me that I am part of the great commission and that I should labor in his vineyard. As days rolled on, I begun to love Jesus more than the 'church' I guess one is wondering why i am quoting the word church..oh yes,its because I later on learn t that
a christian union is not the same as the church.
A christian union's difference with the church and is akin to comparing the heaven and Earth gap.Here, there is no pastor, no reverend or an apostle. Its just a chairperson with departmental heads . The vibrance of the C.U can never be wished away.
Give it to the christian union , its organized, its lively, its bible based and it has become a platform to mentor leaders in the evangelical sphere.
Its in Riverbank christian union that I met fiery preachers, teachers of the word, bible study mentors, stem mentors like vivian  n Tsion, chastened poets like kinoti, business hochos like Mugo Johnson , bloggers like kateblessing, and imaningeru... Why not a lovely God fearing band by the noun Vineyard ?
OH my !Just recieved a text that I have a class in the afternoon.. see youu..
