Dear Beloved Dad, Mum, Church and friends,
Greetings from Kenya
Churches and orphanage, we are praying for you each day, we are humbled for the
regular help we receive from you all through pastor Donald, Vivian , church
leaders and friends to the Kenya orphanage and church.
Thanks from the children and church leadership Kenya church.
Thanks for your prayers which has made us reach this far. Surely without your
help which God has moved in your heart and prayers, we could have not been able
to care these children.
Some could have gone from us to streets because of our
limited resources was not able to feed these
children. We appreciate every
support we receive from you and also school fees and clothes, home for them and
other necessities it could be the challenge.
We request prayers
for the work in Kenya as by your prayers God has allowed us to reach this far.
Still we covet yours for the needs of these children under our care their needs
be made. Yes we cannot say that we have met all the needs of the children as
some days they sleep without taking food and they stay out of school for not
having paid school fees, but all in this hardship and struggle God has used all
with your resources to support once again receive the thanks from the leaders.
As we receive about the update of the reopening of schools
we will update you all. We are still worshipping God with the children in the
orphanage compound as we wait for the freedom of worship for all. We are
meetings churches members in groups in houses. Thanks for the sermon teachings
its helping us greatly keep posting them its maturing Kenya churches. You are
all covered in our prayers.
One day in a week we take the kids to play in one of the
school field keep praying for the football because the one they are using is worn
out and has been teared (torn).
Thanks for keeping the kenya family in yours prayers and
heart.

grace given you in Christ Jesus. For in him you have been enriched in
every way—with all kinds of speech and with all knowledge.
2 Corinthians 9:11-12 – You will be enriched in every way so
that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will
result in thanksgiving to God. This service that you perform is not only
supplying the needs of the Lord’s people but is also overflowing in many
expressions of thanks to God.
Our prayers are with
you all, may God bless you all. Stay blessed once again as you are the head not
the tail. Thanks.
Yours Son Joel and
Church/Orphanage Leadership.
Joel is calculating by using only the numbers of the 49 orphans, but there are
actually more people eating the food 49 orphans. The staff and their children
also eat, which I have said was acceptable, since the staff work is volunteer
so that other than an occasional gift, they do not receive a wage. The actual
total number of people eating the food is 59, bringing the daily food costs to
$3.32/per person.

You may or may not realize or remember that Vivian and
I spent about three years working in the islands of the South Pacific, doing
the same thing that we did in Latin America. That work was in Pastoral and
Leadership Training.
