This is the eact exerpt from the speech by Fred Allan Kichari, who was then the Chairman of the Lenana School SDA group, and was leaving office for his successor. it is a short but a heartfelt speech from a man moved by the need for there to be bonds of love in the church he was leaving behind. this are his words.

As i near the end of this long and sometimes tracherous walk with you as Chairman of the most respected, beloved special group of the Lenana School Seventh Day Adventist group... i just want to intimate to you that it has not been an easy journey, it has been many a times ridden with challenges and fears, impossibilities and rough rugged terrain, but in all this, one force remained constant, and that is the providence of the almighty God. i cannot take it For granted that he has led us through all the way.
You guys have been an inspiration to me, and most of what i have become has bee molded by most of your hands, just like the potter moulds and fashions his clay, but sadly, to my attention was brought this disturbing fact, one that would put to shame any group claiming to belong to God, and that is our love for one another seems absent. brothers, loving one another means being out there for your brother. you don't just sit there and watch your brother that you are in the same banner of faith with, going down and under with the wrong decisions. loving one another means sharing the word that has been preached to you, sharing the word the Good LORD has put in your mouth.... we need to exhibit the love to one another, loving with the love that keepeth no record of wrong...t he love that abideth in truth....the love of Jesus Christ.
bretheren, Be devoted to one another in brotherly love Honor one another above yourselves
Never be lacking in zeal Keep your spiritual fervor.Keep your spiritual fervor
Serving the Lord.Love one another. Serve one another. Pray for each other Encourage one another. And build each other up.
As i leave, i desire that you people have the zeal to sing and to have fellowship with one another. singning elevates ones heart in preparation to have an encounter with God and to have a feel of true worship. fellowship encourages us to open up our hearts and to let go of the troubles of this world.... i desire to see agroup that respects the sanctuary... i desire to see the choir grow and testify to a dying world the love of a risen savior... to take to the ends of the world the three angels message with zeal and power..... brothers, i desire to see us all in heaven... but it all boils down to the individual... you and i, what decision have you made?? judgment is soon closing.... where is your stand? will you stand amid the perishing world, or will you stand safe with God, calling out your bretheren from Babylon...?? make the choice.
i leave you in peace.... may the Good LORD be your guide and your stay... till we meet again, if not here on earth, in the heavenly courts... is my prayer in Christs name. amen.

A passionate Plea
Ecclesiastes 7:8 Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.
10 Say not thou, What is the cause that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not inquire wisely concerning this.
From the inspired words of the preacher who doubles up as the wisest man that ever lived... this is the same voice that speaks to us today.... to let go of the past, and let God lead... to unwind ourselves from the chains that bind us to untold torture of the past. into life eternal. it is NOT WISE to hold on to the past.
walking down the road of my life, and looking back at how far God has brought me, all i can say is that all things work together for good to they that love the LORD (Romans 8:28)... and through it all, only one song resounds in my heart.. all the way my savior leads me, what have i to ask beside... Christ was there when i was treading a path full of thorns and dangers, but He led me all the way..... He was there when i took a stumble and fell, and He lifted me out of the dirt, and made me whole again... and when i was running to and fro to get help from all other sources(magazines, friends, internet) BUT Him... He still told me to come to Him Just as i was... with much love He healed me from sin, and now i am ever whit made whole. This my song through endless ages, Jesus led me all the way....
Friends, Christ calls you today.. back to Him. to love him back, the same way that He loved you and gave up His life for you! as in He died for you!! greater love hath no man than this!! so stop crowding Him out by trusting that voice in your mind, that you are not good enuf to come to Christ. that is the voice of the devil trying to take you as far from God as possible.. as one writer puts it," those that wait till they feel good enough to come to Christ, will never come' we are reminded that Christ came to Seek and to save the lost (Matthew 18:11). so if you are reading this.. dont feel ashamed to earnestly pray to God, that He guides you back to Him.... FRIENDS, we are living in the very last moments before the judgment books are closed and your fate sealed, then Christ shall come to reward those who are loyal to HIM... THE WORLD IS ENDING! DUNIA YAISHA! PINY OSERUMO!
So as i said before, its a passionate plea, the past is gone... forget it... whatever you did wrong... its all gone... START a new life in Christ. Be converted By Him and In Him. pray and read the Bible and Keep His Commandments and give God the glory... thats all He requires of you and me...:)
