We talk about heaven as being a far much better place for us than our current abode. Yet often times it becomes very difficult to fathom the place of death; the only avenue to our eternal home.

A few hours ago, we just lost yet another young man, 26-yr-old Jeremiah Ndegwa Karanja who was a PhD student at the University at Buffalo, NY.

He was the son of Jonathan Karanja and Esther Wambũi Karanja of PCEA Neema Church (Dist. 5). Ndegwa was a brother to Tabitha Waithĩra Karanja (the piano girl) and Jane Njeri Karanja of the English service. He was a nephew to Frashiah Gĩtau , a member of the Choir and Isabella Gĩtau.
As we wait to put plans into place, let us join the family in prayers and visit them at their home, 9 Caddell Ave. Lowell, MA 01851.
