I
have not spoken a lot about the day-by-day needs of the orphanage of the Log
Church in Kenya. I do not intend to sound super-pious, but my speaking has been
mostly to God.
After
all, I have always considered this his work. I had no vision for doing this when we first became involved. It was not something that I personally had in mind
to accomplish. Quite unexpectedly to me, God suddenly placed it in my lap.
As
I have shared before, it is a great surprise to me that God has me involved in
this work to this level. I never saw any of this coming when Vivian and I
finally returned home after serving for a long time in other countries—none of
them in Africa prior to this one. But for reasons unknown to me, God has put
the lives of these children in our hearts.
It
has been an experience of faith to see how God is raising funding so that the
children, who before had not been able to attend school, now for the most part able to do so.
I
believe that they have also been able to have meals on more of a regular basis
as God has provided money to buy food.
These
needs will continue of course, but we are also looking to build an adequate
place for the children to sleep. There are even more orphans in the church now than when I
was there in November, and many more children end up sleeping on the floor, separated from the dirt
by only a thin cloth. It is the girls who are most in need for a sleeping room.
We
are in the process of buying materials so that work can begin on a place for them. We have the
bricks and are now praying for the provision of enough so that a cement footing
for the walls can be poured. It is a slow work, but we know that God will provide in his time.
Thank
you also as you pray for this.
