people. It also serves to make them_
a little more humble.
Once every four months, - for a
four day periodAall diocese workers
and rural deaneries meetin one
deanery. The time is spent in prayer
and going out to farms to see what
other groups are doing. It basically
acts as an exchange of ideas.
The Bishop believes the church
has been called to bring deliverance
' to the people and to teach them
their rights.
Government
According to the Bishop, Kenya
has a very stable government,
(despite theTfact it is surrounded by
military governments) under elected
President Daniel arap Moi, who is
a Christian. Although Kenya is
under a one party system, which
has a lot of power, the president is
loved by the people. ,
Christianity is thriving, but at the
same . time they have Islam.
Nelson Mandela is viewed as a
hero by . the people. He has visited
Kenya twice and the Bishop said he
speaks with a lot of authority and
very constructively. He stated he
wholly agreed with him and his
fight for, a just cause.
Education
The educational system in Kenya
is somewhat different than what we
are, used to. Primary and post
secondary education is free; secon-
tiruy is not,Onc might believe that

be paid for, that the numbers in
colleges and universities would be
low. Not so. Bishop Nzimbi said
there is a big expansion in
education in Kenya with ap-
proxiilltately 10,000 students in
universities every year.
The problem is job c,, rhmity
once ,.the education is p dined.'
They are currently managing this
problem by forming light industries
where most secondary level skills
may be absorbed.
• Whilethe past five and one half
years have been very hectic for the ,
Bishop and his wife, they are happy
with the results they have seen so
far. They find the rural people to be
very cooperative and tight . knit,
willing to listen and learn. The rurnd.
groups have . helped development
move faster and the people have
grown as a result.
Mrs.' Nzimbi was a. primary
school teacher, prior to her husband
being made a Bishop. At that time
it was necessary to resign as her
time is now centred around
teaching, the women of the rural
area, social development. Although
she misses the young people, Mrs.
Nzimbi said she is happy dealing
with grownups.
Her time is also busy with their
five children Martha 15, Paul 14,
Neema 12, Peter 9 and Andrew S.
Following the ICFID conference
in Mississauga, Bishop and Mrs.
Nzimbi will spend two weeks in the
USA, returning home to Kenya on
November 11.
