From Kenya-Anyone who has ever been to my office has seen a picture of an old man hanging on the wall. This old man is Mr Jeremiah Ngunjiri; my 'guka' (grandfather) and the man I am named after in line with the Kikuyu tradition. My grandfather became a Christian at a very early age and ended up as a religious leader in the Anglican Church.
The convictions of his faith were apparent to anyone who interacted with him. The way he engaged you, the humility, mutual respect and openness of everything he did, spoke about his religious convictions. He lived his faith, genuinely, throughout his life. In a great testimony to this religious honesty amongst his children and grandchildren number tens of pastors and reverends in various Christian denominations; including my father who is a reverend in the Anglican Church. Christianity is real to us because of how he lived it.
