Omera,

Habari gani!

Pastor Absalom Birai is not from the streets. Ndugu yangu you are verbally abusing someone who spend many years at Saint Andrews University, Michigan USA studying mpaka akapokea his Phd with remarkable success.

A mwananchi with humble beginnings one of the few great role models we have in the Diaspora!

Why should he talk only to his children and not to us? We are all God's children and I will take a day off to go listen Pastor Birai preach! I will do same to go surf through his postings on faith everywhere; Jaluo.com, here, etc!

Pastor Birai is not a "gossiper" nor is he miserable. I'm not his spokesman but I have been blessed to know him for who he is.

You are talking about someone who gives to the last penny and yet he's just a common mwananchi. While in Dallas he gave many new arrivals car rides to work and elsewhere,. The records among locals don't lie.

Some wananchi in the Dallas Metroplex will not help you with a glass of drinking water!

My brother I'm not an SDA by any standards even though most of my relatives are. I respect their religious following just as much as they respect mine. Wakati mwingine hata siendi kanisa naomba nyumbani ama afisini!

The Good Lord knows what we need before we ask! But it is always nice to go worship with a community of believers!

In Kenya we have:

Anglicans
Catholics
SDAs
Rachel Maria
PAGs
Islam
Hindus
Sikhs
atheists, etc

Nobody cares you worship mountains, valleys, or Lake Sango! That said, I have a feeling you sort of misunderstood Pastor Birai. He has the freedom to share anything he feels right.

Yes, most of us have gone the distance sacrificially to help friends and relatives and ended up in deep hot water. In these forums we are not here to engage in verbal abuses. It is unfortunate sometimes things go out of hand.

Piga breki ndugu yangu!

I kindly urge you to take it easy and voice your views with proper research. Sometimes "kuuliza si ujinga!" Yes, a few and possibly many times I have shared personal information crossing the line.

Sometimes I get carried away and the thrill to share override my common sense! I just regret, kneel down, pray, and maybe contact someone privately and apologise. We are all human and prone to make mistakes.

In the case of Pastor Birai's posting it was not a mistake. He deserves the right to tell us that so that we think wisely should that happen to us.

We are all learning!

Please take a deep breath and maybe apologise to Pastor directly behind the scenes.

Finally, Pastor Birai is very unselfish kind, friendly, and someone you can trust whole-heartedly. He shares what the Good Lord has bestowed in his heart and Spiritual mind with the larger crowd in all forums including Jaluo.com where my people socialise.

There are many men and women of the cloth from Kenya in the Diaspora who keep quiet when we need spiritual guidance.

Omera, we all need spiritual guidance online Pastor Birai is among the few volunteers! Please let us reward our people who share enlightening educational matters in the forums willingly with due respect!

If you have any queries, concerns, and further enquiries get back to me privately. Usiogope!:)

Oriti!

Kind Rgds,

Steve
