WEEKLY LETTER FROM PASTOR JOEL OF LOG CHURCH KENYA

Below is a letter that I received today from Pastor Joel. You will notice that they are presently without food. He is asking for prayer about this. Next week we will be able to send some more help, but for the present, we trust God to supply by some means.

But this is a letter of thanks more than a letter of need. It has been amazing to all of us how God has provided through His people to give these children a home, an education, and a hope for the future.

The building of our orphanage school continues. We eagerly anticipate what God will be doing through this school when it is finished.

I think that I mentioned previously that the Log Church Kenya is presently holding worship services every day.  The pandemic and the difficulties of the restrictions have created a great hunger in that area to know the Lord, and the pastors and the church are responding to that need.

It strikes me that it is not this way in much of the United States. We mostly argue over the science of the vaccine and the gravity of the virus. We spend a lot of time and effort putting down whomever we think is wrong, but very little time in introspection.

Maybe the real lesson of this pandemic has less to do with how good, bad or how partisan our science is, and more to do with how our weaknesses should cause us to turn to the One who has made us in the first place.

Here’s the letter from Pastor Joel

POST-LOCKDOWN WORSHIP AT THE LOG CHURCH KENYA

As of the first of August, the churches in the Kisii area are once again allowed to open their doors to worshipers. People returned in great number, seeking guidance for their lives in the words of Jesus.

The covid lockdowns have been especially brutal for many of these people. It has caused food prices to rise significantly, with even the availability of food in the market often lacking. There has been much hunger during this time, even more than is the normal amount. But this physical hunger has awakened a great spiritual hunger in the people as well.

As far as the orphanage is concerned, the kids are presently in school and life has continued. They are so thankful for your gifts, which has provided for them not only the school fees, but that they have also had food to eat on most days. You can see the latest accounting of funds below. Just press the “Read More” button.

The rain is being gathered in the water collection system we have been able to build, and the garden is being irrigated and is producing vegetables and greens.

The construction of the new school building also continues. This will be a long process, but we look forward to seeing how God will open up this possibility.

Below is the letter from Pastor Joel:

Thanks from the children and church leadership Kenya church. Thanks for your prayers which have made the children have hope. Surely without your help which God has moved in your heart and prayers we could have not been able to care these children.

We appreciate every support we receive from you and also school fees and clothes, and other necessities it could be the challenge.

There is a great need of these people to be visited regularly in this season of covid-19. People have lost hope and have nothing to eat. Please keep us in prayer God to provide for the poor families. Through this soul winning work many people have turned up in attending church worship service.

May the lord bless you for the efforts and your labour for the increase of God’s kingdom. It is our hope that the Lord will give us burning desire to each out even beyond our boundaries of the Lord of Kenya, that  poorest of the poor be gathered to worship God.

 May God bless you all, for praying for the Church in Kenya.
