I am Gideon Lyomu, the STEM staff Karatina and Kirinyaga CUs.
Coming into STEM last year, I was eager to learn and grow more. STEM has shaped the basic principles of work and helped me develop life-long convictions. I have also been introduced to my real self and my eyes opened to the potential I have, areas to be worked on, and God’s work both in and through me. It’s been an amazing journey of self-discovery.
One of the great opportunities that STEM has given me is the chance to share life with others and grow in my interpersonal skills such as communication and openness. Being part of students’ life, helping them, and seeing them grow wholesomely is one thing to be grateful for. Knowing that I’m working with a team and hence what affects me affects them too, I have been able to appreciate and embrace vulnerability which has greatly boosted my teamwork.
I believe that every skill and value acquired or improved during my service in STEM staff will help me be a better fit for my service to God through my finance career and or any other capacity that comes my way.
Now more than before, I am more confident in the work God is doing among students and ultimately to the world through FOCUS. Student’s ministry is a worthy cause, one worth investing our time, energy, and resources to see it flourishing. The one year experience in STEM remains an unforgettable one to me, one I’m deeply grateful to God for.
It has really been a blessing time having you around. Your love and companionate to the ministry enable us to soar to great heights. Your sacrificial commitment and spending sleepless nights to make sure that the Union is running well cannot be paid by money or earthly wealth. God brought you to us at such a time like this, it was a timely and perfect positioning. May God bless you and keep you. May His face shine on you, May all that you do prosper for His glory.
Having you around has been a blessing to the Union. Thank you for your commitment in serving God among students and equipping us with what God has packaged in you. As you walk out from the corridors, you walk out a soldier, having left a legacy of true and sound doctrine. You’ve walked with us and shaped us with your wisdom and knowledge.
Reaching students has been your goal and your couldn’t put your book and pen down until you did this.
Continue Reaching Students as you Change the Nations.
The Lord bless and keep you, make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you. The Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace.
