SCHOOL AT THE ORPHANAGE - THE WORK HAS BEGUN

The work has begun.

Since the beginning, we knew that providing our own school for the orphans would be the best solution to meeting their education. And it is not only the orphans that live at the orphanage, but others in the area who need the opportunity to be able to go to school, along with children from extremely poor families who cannot pay the school fees.

But it is a big task. We do not know how God will meet not only the needs of building, but also the ongoing needs.

But we have begun. As it was when we built the dormitory for the children, all is in the hands of God. We build as He enables. We do not know how long it will take, but God will enable.

It is amazing to think that four years ago these kids were sleeping on a muddy dirt floor. God has been so good.

Dear beloved Dad, Mum, Church and

Friends,

Greetings from Kenya family and Log Orphanage/Church. We are humbled to thank God for hearing and remembering you in prayer. We are each day praying for you and all who have joined the hand to build the school buildings for the glory of God.

This project does not only need money but also need prayer because in this way God will move in the hearts of people to help.

Surely this is the great project which need the hand of God in funding. We were advised that because of the limited land space we now will be building storey building.

Kindly we request your prayers for this God's agenda of having school for the children in the orphanage and the community children. This will touch not only children in the orphanage but also an education for children from poor families and orphans, which are not accommodated in the orphanage because

of lack resources and space to accommodate them.

We have cleared the land its ready for the erecting the footing foundation for the building. The materials are supplied and it's coming in slowly because of the of the covid-19 restrictions of lock down which has extended to 30th July 2021. We have received the government plan this are given through those who supply materials that help them to supply materials without obstruction and this will help the engineer to set the building as by the government.

As the by the new idea of building the storey building will need involving even more material and resources that will make the building to be completed. The covid-19 since last year has changed the even the school calendar now the school will be closed for on one week as from 17th July to July 25th 2021 and begin new term. We are trusting God for school fees.

On the hand food is the challenge like now we have no food but we are using this period in prayer and fasting. We are humbled to God for being ever faithful to supply. We cannot comprehend the mind

of God. We allow Him to work and take control because is the just God and is Jehovah Jireh. We are confident the one who begun good work will accomplish it till the end.

We celebrate each family, churches and individuals who are involved with pastor Donald and Vivian for the great work God is doing through your hand of help. May God bless you all, if we were able we were to wish that when Pastor Donald will visit Kenya on the next trip, you also will come with all to see this work you are supporting by your witness.

Kindly We request prayers this work need surely need the hand of God and your support is needed. Thanks to all are helping and planning to help for this project be completed for the glory of God. Thanks.

Proverbs 22:9 — Generous hands are blessed hands because they give bread to the poor.

Zachariah 4:9-10 — The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house, and his hands will complete it. Then you will know that the LORD of Hosts has sent me to you. For who has despised the day of small things? But these seven eyes of the LORD, which scan the whole earth, will rejoice when they see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel.”
