The Rev. Fred Ochieng, Vicar of Emmanuel Church in the Shaurimoyo Parish in the Anglican Diocese of Maseno South, Kisumu-Kenya, invited those present to take steps to form relationships with brothers and sisters in his area. \u201cPray for us,\u201d he said. \u201cBe our friend. Relationships are more important than anything. Consider coming for a mission. Be a sender. Consider supporting us financially.\u201d Ochieng stressed that while his congregation is seeking to be self-sustaining, they need assistance to move in that direction. He invited attendees to support theological training for their clergy. \u201cSupport one of our clergy to go to (the theological training in) Marsabit.\u201d<\/p>\n
