THE KENYA ORPHANAGE - TIME TO GET BACK ON THE ROAD

I have not posted about our Kenya orphanage for a while, and I apologize for that. It has been a trying couple of months for me, both in regard to the orphanage in Kenya and at the church in the US where I am pastor. As a result, our transition for the oversight of the orphanage to the new mission organization has hit a few bumps in the road, but the road crew has been out fixing some of the potholes, and we are again moving forward. 

Nevertheless, our forward progress has been slowed by some of the events that have come upon us, and we are limited to what realistic goals can be accomplished in the short term. In many regards, we are back to the point where we were when we began this orphanage—simply trusting God for food and enough funding to pay the school fees for the children.

Food security has been an issue from the beginning and will continue to be. In the past, we established the vegetable garden, but realistically speaking, we could never grow enough food in the garden with the very limited land area that we have.

Our New "Cow House" 

We have now also begun a small-scale livestock project with chickens and cows. We praise God for this opportunity both to have another source for food/income, and also to teach the kids some basics of animal husbandry.

Gathering Napier Fodder for the Cows

I am excited especially about the cows, since those of you who know me personally also know that I have my own small herd of cows.

Please continue to pray for this work. It has not been without difficulties and even enemies, but I can never abandon these kids whom the Lord has rescued from the world and to whom He called me to help and minister. Thanks so much.
