Church Leaders Visit Bishop Nathaniel Bol Nyok in Kitale
Following the successful training of Bishops and Church leaders at St. Crispin’s Cathedral, Bungoma, the Most Rev. Moses Anur Ayom, Archbishop of Jonglei Internal Province and Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Bor, led a delegation of Bishops and Church leaders to visit the Rt. Rev. Nathaniel Bol Nyok, Leader of the South Sudan Evangelical Lutheran Church (SSELC) and former Principal of Malek Bible School, at his home in Kitale, Kenya.
The purpose of the visit was to stand with Bishop Nathaniel during a difficult period following the loss of his beloved wife. The Church leaders expressed their condolences, offered words of comfort and encouragement, and prayed together with him and his family, entrusting the departed soul into God’s loving care.
Bishop Nathaniel was deeply grateful for the visit and was delighted to reunite with his fellow Bishops and Church leaders after a long time apart. The reunion was a joyful and meaningful moment, reflecting the bonds of fellowship, friendship and unity among Christian leaders.
The visit demonstrated the Church’s commitment to standing together in times of both joy and sorrow, offering mutual support, prayer and encouragement to one another.
“Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” — Galatians 6:2
The Archbishop acknowledges the legacy of Bishop Nathaniel Bol Nyok for what he has done to Episcopal Church and in particular the Diocese of Bor as Principal of Malek Bible School and as teacher.
