STEP-BY-STEP WE BUILD FOR THE FUTURE OF THE ORPHANAGE

Since about a week and a half ago, when I put up the blog post about Planning for the Future of the Log Church Orphanage, Pastor Joel and the Orphanage leadership and I have been doing a lot of texting back and forth about the best way to complete the two projects of the garden and the school in manageable phases.

Although the school remains in our long-term plan, the most essential is to begin with the garden, and to do the garden, we first need to develop a water system for irrigation. This water system will also help in the present dormitory and the kitchen, and in the future school building.

Initially, we think that we can meet most of the water requirements from rain gutters and a collection tank. It has been something that we have talked about for some time, but as you can see by the price quotations, it costs a little money to put in place, which we before did not have.

For the very first time since we began the orphanage, in January(last month) there were enough gifts sent in by many of you so that we not only were able to feed the children, but have been able to make substantial payments on their school fees and expenses. Last week we were able to make a bank transfer of $6000 to the orphanage account. This was enough to meet current needs and provide for beginning the water system. Thank you!

As we considered this first time additional money, we have decided that it was time to move ahead in faith and begin to better prepare for the future. You can also read about this if you scroll down to the January 19 post. Of course there is not yet enough to bring anything to completion, since food needs continue and school costs. But we are moving ahead as we did with building the dormitory—step by step and God provides.

If you are interested, the price quotations for the water system that we received are below. The cost for the labor of the installation of all the tanks, plumbing and rain gutters will also be an additional Ksh 70,000 ($700 US).

If you would like to help the children of the Log Church Orphanage of Kisii, Kenya, you may make your check out to “The Log Church” and write “Orphans” on the memo line.

Send it to:

The Log Church

PO Box 68

Tripoli Wisconsin 54564

We now need to pay a wire transfer fee with every payment, which amounts to $50 each time, but other than that, your donated money will be used only for purchasing food, clothing, schooling, and other necessities of living. We wait until we have $4000-$5000 before we make the bank transfer to make each transfer more economical. Nothing is held back or diverted for any other purpose. Thanks!
