 Tabitha
(Tabby) Ryan is planning to return to Kamukuywa, Kenya in January 2014
for a year’s stay to teach at the Agape in Action Academy. A teacher by
profession, Tabby wrote:
"I will be teaching the first principles course as part of the
school curriculum and also helping out leading Bible studies at night
time with the students that live at the school. Sunday School teaching
and visits to other ecclesias will also form part of the work I do
there. I believe it is important as much as possible for the locals to
run their ecclesial activities, however, as there are only two qualified
Christadelphian teachers in the school I think I can be of great value
there. Also, as being the only female Christadelphian teacher I believe I
will be able to have a real positive impact on the female students in
particular.
Having self-funded previous mission work in Cambodia and an earlier trip to Kenya, Tabby has clear set objectives.
I hope to provide my teaching skills for the school and encourage the
students who live there. On my last visit the deputy principal spoke to
me and said that the difference in the students over the month we were
there was noticeable and heartwarming. Having a younger adult around to
whom they could ask questions and discuss the Bible with was something
that really positively impacted the students.
 Personally
I hope to gain a lot of experience and information about the conditions
in Kenya so that upon return to Australia I can advocate for the
brethren living here. After studying teaching for four years I am
excited to be able to put my qualifications and experience to work in a
Christadelphian school where I can not only teach my relevant subject
areas but also teach Bible studies and first principles. I hope to
return home motivated to encourage others to preach."
If you are interested in working in the mission field for 6 months or
longer and require funding to make this a reality, consider applying as a
White Field Worker. The applications can be downloaded from our
