KENYA - THOUGHTS OF SCHOOL, THOUGHTS OF FOOD

Last week was a difficult week for the orphanage. The kids spent most days without food. I have mentioned before some the difficulties we sometimes encounter in allocating the money that we receive, in that from week to week, we actually do not know if there will be anything. We rarely have any reserve, since money that we receive at the Log Church is usually sent to Kenya within a few days. Last week was one of those weeks when we did not have enough in the fund to send, and the orphanage was without food.

But even in these types of situations, I trust that God had a purpose in it all. For two of those days last week, members of the church in Kenya were able to provide something for the children to eat. They took it upon themselves to give to this need.

You may wonder why they do not do this more often, but please remember that there are difficulties in this that we do not realize. In that region of severe poverty, almost no one has enough to eat. Nearly everyone goes through days of hunger. Of course I am not there day by day, but I truly believe that all are doing what they can.

The kids are already back in school for their second term of 2022. In a normal year, they would have a month of holiday in between terms, but in this year, they are making up for lost time during 2021—the covid year.

This also means that we have no holiday from paying school fees—no time when we are able to use the money to instead buy needed items. But God is good, and he will provide.

As far as the building of the new school, this remains on hold, but we will resume that work as the Lord provides. The orphanage staff recently went to the village of Kenyenya, about 5 kilometers from the orphanage, to look at the school there. In several ways, the main building of that school is similar to the one that we have planned. Joel talks a bit about this below. Here is his letter:

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!
