Grace To Overcome Bullying – Elizabeth Ogweno

My name is Elizabeth Ogweno. I am a born-again Christian, married to Peter Lwal, and currently reside in Kisumu. I enjoy reading and farming.

My Mission

I am writing about bullying, motivated by a desire to see people heal from its effects and to help others recognise and avoid it. My motivation is also deeply personal. Having experienced bullying myself, I understand some of the pain and impact it can have on a person’s life. By God’s grace and mercy, I was able to recover from that experience. Through my writing, I desire to use what I have experienced to help others find healing and to create greater awareness about bullying and its effects.

My Writing Process

I encountered writer’s block during the writing journey. When this happened, I reminded myself that this is God’s project and that we are in it together until the end. That perspective helped me continue even when writing became difficult. Balancing the writing journey with my other commitments was also challenging. There were several times when I had to burn the midnight oil to ensure that I continued making progress with my manuscript.

My Posture

I view feedback as an important part of refining what I am writing and making it better. Whether positive or constructive, I recognise that feedback can help strengthen the manuscript and develop me as a writer.

My Onyx Writing Class Experience

My experience with content writing during CLC Kenya’s Onyx Writing Class was helpful and beneficial. I particularly appreciated the step-by-step approach. The structure makes it possible to write as you learn, helping participants progress through the writing journey without being left behind. Based on my experience, I would recommend the Writing Class to others who desire to develop their writing.

Closing Reflection

To aspiring writers and beginning authors, my encouragement is simple:

Keep writing. Put it down and finish it.

My own journey has reminded me that when God gives you an assignment, you can trust Him to walk with you through the process. Even when the journey becomes difficult, keep going until the work is complete.

CLC Kenya Celebrates 18 Graduating Writers from the Onyx Writing Mentorship Class

CLC Kenya joyfully celebrated the virtual graduation of 18 writers from the Onyx Writing Mentorship Class, marking another milestone in raising Christian authors across Africa. Facilitated by Jackline Ingasian and hosted by Dr. Muthoni Omukhango, the graduation brought together writers from Kenya and Uganda who have completed manuscripts across various genres, including memoirs, marriage guidance, Christian living, parenting, children’s devotionals, inner healing, financial stewardship, leadership, and discipleship.

During the ceremony, each writer shared their writing journey, the inspiration behind their book, and the lessons learnt through the mentorship process. The event also highlighted CLC Kenya’s wider mission of advancing the gospel through Christian literature, a mission connected to CLC’s global work across 44 countries.

The CLC Kenya’s Writing Class has continued to grow since its beginning in 2020, raising writers who are not only completing manuscripts but also preparing to publish books that will serve families, churches, communities, and nations.

The 2026 graduating writers were encouraged to move forward into the publishing and marketing phase, with the hope of celebrating their published works in 2027 with an in-person graduation set for 28th November 2026 at Garden Estate.

As the session closed in prayer and thanksgiving, the charge was clear: graduation is not the end of the journey, but the beginning of greater stewardship. These writers carry stories, testimonies, teachings, and messages that can impact Africa and beyond.
