We are thankful that we were able to
make a bank to bank wire transfer of $4000 to the orphanage this week. Below is
the letter I received from Pastor Joel:
*****************************
Dear Beloved Dad,
Mum, Church and Friends,
Greetings from Kenya family, we pray for you daily, we are
humbled that help that was sent was received and now the children have food to
eat. May God bless all the hand that has given the help for the children.
The children have stayed without food for 9 days because
other days within starving time some members were able to send food and bananas
to cook for the children. We thank all the members of the Kenya church who sent
help. God bless you all.
We remained trusting for the Lord when we have and when we
don't have food. We have set the mind of children that God remain to be in
control in season and out of season.
The church has been
given time to meet publicly on one hour time service with limited number of
people. No aged members and those less 13 years not allowed. We as the churches
in Kenya we have agreed not to meet till our fully freedom of worship, but we
are meeting in house service and also meeting with children in the orphanage
compound praising God.
Be assured that the church will keep the mission shining
keep us in prayer. We request your prayers for the Log orphanage Kenya and also
the churches here as we go through challenges ministering the gospel in Kenya.
