After a brave battle with cancer, Gerrine Njenga closed her eyes to rest in the Lord on September 23. She was 42. Gerrine and her husband, David, have been Linwood members since 2009. She is survived by David, and two sons, Johnathan and Jayden. Gerrine s smile, as well as her sense of humor, would fill any room with the cheerful joy and love for the Lord. Their home was also filled with that love and it was shared with others when they opened their home as an Adult Family Home facility. Below are some messages shared on Facebook: My sweet friend Gerrine Njenga just went to be with the Lord at the young age of 42. I promised her over a year ago, that whenever she came to my mind, I would pray for her boys. So David, know that the rest of my life, when I remember your beautiful wife, I will stop and pray for you and your boys. She is loved by many Loss of a sweet friend, Gerrine Njenga. Cancer takes another life, rest for now my beautiful friend. Very sad for family members. She fought an incredibly good fight and the thing she will see is Jesus's face. Pain-free my inspirational friend Gerrine Njenga! Goodbye to a beautiful person, inside and out. See you on the other side. Will miss Gerrine. She did have a good sense of humor and she was kind. Oh, Gerrine!! Rest now, your work here is done. I will never forget your encouragement and helpful tips regarding care of wigs to my mother at the Women s retreat in 2015. You have always been resilient, no-nonsense and had a killer sense of humor. I can t wait to hug you again when the Lord wakes you at the second coming. You will always be in our hearts. I will miss your cheerful spirit, kind heart, and beautiful smile. There will be a service to celebrate Gerrine s life on October 6, 2018 at 2:00 p.m. at Linwood.

We Believe... 1. That the Bible is the final authority for all belief and practice for the Christian (2 Timothy 3:16-17). 2. That there is one God revealed in three persons God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit (Matthew 3:16-17: Genesis 1:26). 3. That we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone (John 3:16, 1 John 5:12-13 & Ephesians 2:8-9). 4. That Christians who have been redeemed by Jesus will live in obedience to all of His commandments (John 14:15). 5. That Jesus will come again very soon (John 14:1-3). 6. That the requirements of the Ten Commandments are still binding on all people today, including the seventh-day Sabbath of the fourth commandment (Matthew 5:17, Exodus 20:8-11). 7. That the judgment which will decide the eternal destiny of all people is now taking place in heaven (Daniel 8:14, 9:25-27). 8. That when a person dies one does not go immediately to heaven or hell, but rests in the grave as one who is asleep awaiting the resurrection (Ecclesiastes 9:5-6, John 5:28-29, 11:11-14). 9. That after Jesus comes again, the people of God will judge the world with Jesus, following which fire will fall from heaven to completely devour the wicked and purify the earth (1 Corinthians 6:2-3, Revelation 20:4-9, 2 Peter 3:10-13). 10. That God, as a loving Father, wants us to live healthful lives avoiding foods and substances He has declared unfit, and actively pursuing positive lifestyle habits (Leviticus 11, Proverbs 20:1, Daniel 1:8, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20). 11. That the followers of Jesus will live pure and honorable lives making sure their business, recreation and relationships meet the Bible standard (Philippians 4:8). 12. That God gives spiritual gifts to His people for the purpose of ministry. Given by the agency of the Holy Spirit gifts provide the abilities and ministries such as faith, healing, prophecy, proclamation, teaching, administration, reconciliation, compassion, charity and other gifts. (1 Corinthians 12; Rom. 12:4-8; 1 Peter 4:10, 11). 13. That the Seventh-day Adventist Church fills a special role in the world today to prepare people for the 2nd coming of Jesus (Rev. 14:6-13). 14. That we will grow as we spend time with God in prayer, as we feed on His word and share His love through witnessing.(2 Timothy 2:15; Ephesians 6:18; Galatians 5:22-25) 15. That the Bible teaches that all who have accepted Jesus as their Savior/Lord, and who intend to obey all the teachings of the Bible should be baptized by immersion (John 3:5; Mark 16:16 & Matthew 28:19-20).
