Edwina Ogongo

There is some sad news to report from Kenya. A former CGA student passed away last week. Edwina Ogongo was in CGA’s 2nd graduating 8th Grade class in 2007 and finished secondary school 2011. She hadn’t been able to move on to further education yet and had volunteered off and on at CGA over the last couple of years. She joined CGA with her two brothers after her parents died about 10-12 years ago. Her aunt raised her in Mbita town. She was a bright and hard-working girl who earned a

B- in secondary school. Edwina was anemic and supposedly lost a lot of blood during child birth complications in the home where she delivered a month ago.

They buried her today (Friday, May 17th) at her grandparents home in Uyoma. Many of our former CGA students spent time with her in the hospital before she passed away and have been helping Edwina’s Aunt with arrangements and other details in the home as they prepared for the burial. It is greatly affecting the students, staff, her brothers in school and her former classmates and schoolmates. We know that Edwina heard the Gospel many times in her life during her time at CGA and while she was in secondary school.  I even remember a time I visitied her in school and she told me about how she had received God's salvation during a weekend Gospel presentation.  So we take comfort in knowing that she has gone to be with her Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.  Your prayers are much appreciated during this time.
