“Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Defend the rights of the poor and needy.
Proverbs 31: 8-9”
Dear Partner,
It’s hard each month to summarize the lives that are being transformed and/or the challenges we face with just a few highlighted articles that our speed reading American brains can process. I’ll try to be brief for my update.
WE NEED FUNDS! We are taking 5 of us to Kenya 6/16-6/30. When we are there, we always have projects/opportunities that we could not plan or prepare for come up. God brings us so many amazing opportunities and while we can’t help or participate in all of them, He makes it obvious which ones we are to support.
Because you Give Amore, last year, with the funds we raised prior to our trip we were able to do the following:
- Faith was found on the steps of the church in agony and dying. We were able to get her to the doctor immediately (thanks to the funds we’d raised prior to our trip). She then went on to have a life-saving surgery and is healthy.
-We purchased a much-needed specialized wheel chair for one of the guardians in our program’s special needs son. Shadirack has severe cerebral palsy and is 14 years old. It’s very challenging for Christian, his mom, to carry him everywhere. This wheelchair helps him go outside and get fresh air and change positions.
-We were able to fix our dilapidated roof to protect our offices and equipment from rain damage
-We were able to send 3 of our graduates to continued education programs
-We purchased formula and diapers for orphaned babies
-We had nurses brought it to educate our teen and pre-teen girls about sex, rape and pregnancy
-We had nurses brought it to teach the community CPR and Heimlich to save lives!
-We purchased chickens for a group of hard-working single mothers who have started their own co-op and are building a profitable business to support each other!
-We had a blessing at the site of our latest well and provided rare poultry and chapatti for the community to eat. There’s no “free food” in Kenya! This is surely a treat!
-AND SOOOO MUCH MORE!
Please join us so that we can be the hands and feet of Jesus when we are in Kenya and help those that we haven’t even met yet!
