I like computer work, beading, knitting, decorating, cooking, gardening and singing. I’m a second year Postulant and I’m still discerning God’s will in my life. As a Postulant, I have com

Postulant Sarah Chepkorir Kipsang

My name is Sarah Chepkorir Kipsang. I was born in Trans-Nzoia County, Western region of Rift-Valley Province in Kenya. I am from a family of five girls and I am the first-born. My parents are William B. Kipsang and Esther C. Kipsang. I am 34 yrs old and a primary school teacher by profession.
I got to know of the SSNDs through a friend who once worked with the sisters when they first came to Kenya, Mr. Terry Hannely. I was attracted to the SSNDs by their simplicity in life style, hospitality and their ministry of transformative education.
Currently I am a second year postulant, continuing my discernment through prayer and learning more about the SSNDs. I have a desire to grow continually in openness to God’s call in my life and in Mother Theresa’s words “Earnestly desiring to love God is striking a spark from a flint; doing God’s holy will is feeding the fire”. It is my prayer and desire to be one of her daughters.

I am a teacher by profession and presently a second year postulant discerning my vocation in SSND. I got to know SSND through inquiry after discussing my interest with an Augustinian Priest who worked with some of our sisters at the major seminary in Jos. My discernment continues to call me to trust and dare, following Christ in all he asks of me.
