But the Log Church of Kenya, as they face a similar
prohibition against meeting, seems to have no problem about what to do. The
people there think that it is the ideal time to build!

But before the coronavirus shutdown, more than 350-450 people
were showing up for church every Sunday. That is only at the church in Matagaro, apart from the Log Church at Nyakembene where there are about 250 others.

The solution—build new structure. The building fund? There
is no fund. One of the men from the church has donated his eucalyptus trees to
make the wooden frame for what will be a wattle and daub building (a mud
building).

God has not put me in the place of helping financially with
this need. All the money that is sent to me goes for the orphan needs only. But
I nevertheless will say that if you are so moved to help with these building
costs, I surely can get the money to them for this purpose—or you yourself can
send it. You can contact me and ask how.

Nevertheless, the people push ahead with the work that God
has given them to do. I like these words from the prophet Haggai about the
situation in his day:

“These people say, ‘The time has not yet come to rebuild the house of the LORD.’”
Then the word of the LORD came
saying: “Is it a time for you yourselves to live in your paneled houses, while
this house lies in ruins?”

Now this is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Consider carefully your ways. You have planted much but harvested little. You eat but never have enough. You drink but never have your fill. You put on clothes but never get warm. You earn wages to put into a bag pierced through.”
This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Consider carefully your ways. Go up into the hills, bring down lumber, and build the house, so that I may take pleasure in it and be glorified, says the LORD.
I have seen no paneling on the walls of any of the houses that I visited in Kisii, except for old newspapers pasted to keep out the draft and bugs, but the people have decided to build the house of worship.
I will let you know how this is going in the weeks to come,
but tomorrow I will write about the orphanage.
