Out of one, many

This weekend I was privileged to share moments with entrepreneurs under the MRF program. It's always good being around entrepreneurs, there's a lot of "notes to compare." I must also say I'm really inspired by the number of young people who won't just sit back doing nothing but who go out boldly in pursuit of a vision and who eventually witness great things happen. 

But of even greater magnitude is the inspiration behind this foundation is a : two young people who were not only pursuing their lives at the time of their unfortunate demise; but who will forever be remembered as an embodiment of true love and sacrifice. As I sat in the room with all the entrepreneurs benefiting from this program, I couldn't help but think of this scripture:

Very truly I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. 
John 12:24 (NIV-UK)

Mbugua and Rosemary may have been one seed and though we mourn their lives cut short, it is comforting to see many entrepreneurs being impacted in their memory. And there is no telling how far the ripple effect travels - for these entrepreneurs may each build an ecosystem that in turn reaches out and impacts many more lives.
