Orthodoxy in Eldoret And Northern Kenya

09/08/2026

Today, the 2026 Orthodox Metropolis of Eldoret Mothers Union Seminar at St.Peters Was concluded successfully with the mothers united in one commitment: KEEP HOPE ALIVE.

They were reminded by His Eminence Metropolitan Neofitos that Christian hope is not merely a wish, but a firm confidence in Christ and the assurance that, in Him, all shall be well. Hopelessness makes our journey to the Kingdom heavy, but hope strengthens and renews us.

As the mothers continue their vocation in their homes, Church, and society, they were encouraged by the words of St. Paul:

“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” — Romans 15:13

God loves His children unconditionally. May His grace sustain every mother to keep hope alive.

Glory to God in all things and for all things!

Theme: Knowing When to Speak and When to Be Silent – The Example of Abigail

His Eminence Metropolitan Neofitos urged the Mothers' Union of the Orthodox Metropolis of Eldoret and Northern Kenya to learn from Abigail in 1 Samuel 25, who demonstrated wisdom, courage, and discernment.

He emphasized that there is a time to speak and a time to remain silent. Abigail spoke when her words could prevent conflict and bring peace, but she did so with humility, respect, and wisdom.

He encouraged them to avoid speaking out of anger or pride and instead to pray and discern when their words are necessary. He reminded them that our speech should build, reconcile, encourage, and preserve peace.

He concluded by urging all Christians to seek the wisdom of God so that, like Abigail, they may know when to speak, what to say, and when silence is the wiser choice.
