This is a guest post by Susan Gitonga.
It’s one thing to be interviewed and have your story told by someone like Siloma, but it’s totally different when you tell the story yourself, the pressure is real.
My name is Susan Gitonga but my Internet Friends know me as Sungit Diaries form my blog ‘Sungit Diaries’ (which I think you should check out(). Every time people read my name they always read it as Sun then git, which is wrong …So for you Saints I’ll make it easier for you, read it as Sue then ngit.
So, Sungit is a Creative, which means that she sings, writes, decorates interiors, takes photographs, creates videos, wears out-of-the-norm outfits and creates beautiful conversations in a dull group of people. I asked my mother recently how she would describe me if someone asked her and she said she’d tell them that I have ‘ARTISTIC EXPRESSION’, so in a nutshell that’s who I am.
So this Artist finds beauty in everything. I stop so many people in the streets of Nairobi to tell them they look beautiful! Beauty for me is simply creativity. Wow the World with never seen before ideas. I am that kid who would never wears something that someone else had and my Mother made sure that I didn’t, I loved standing out form the crowd especially in Church every Sunday. I grew up in a Catholic home and I was a Liturgical dancer, I used to lead the other girls in Mass dances and there was no way I’d be caught dressed like anyone else which forced me to be creative.
#MyKkrewBsStory begins in 2013 when I got saved. As you would have it, my company of friends had to change and I parted ways with one of my close friends at the time called Benta (Hi Benta!) So time flew by and around 2014 I heard that she had given her life to Jesus! I was elated and was curious to find out what had led her to this. I recovered her contacts, we began talking and planned to meet. This girl had changed and I was so happy for her. God brought us back to being friends and we began sharing our walk in the Faith, what God was teaching us and so on.
On one occasion around January 2015, Benta invited me to KkrewBS which she said was a great Youth Fellowship that I should purpose to attend, and I did. I was moved when I saw all these young people who were so in love with the things of God. I was overwhelmed by the togetherness, love, warmth and acceptance that I found here.
I have grown tremendously from attending KkrewBs. Spiritually and mentally, I have encountered God here. I have made so many friends here and I am blessed to be part of this big movement that is living for Christ and walking the path that He has set for us. Just as Benta invited me to this beautiful family, I am inviting all of you to be part of us every Tuesday at the Nairobi Cinema from 5:30 p.m. We are normal people with different struggles who need Saviour, a teacher, a healer and a comforter.
See you on Tuesday 🙂
