Last month, we were asked to help once again in Kenya with their continued drought, which has worsened this year. In response to their request for $14,000, you gave over $17,000 to help them. They have just returned from distributing the food and supplies to the aged and nursing mothers, which the picture above depicts.
Here’s what they wrote me just a few minutes ago:
Dear brother Wayne, receive wonderful greetings in the mighty name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
We would like to send our gratitude to the entire team over there for the great love and concern towards our families here. We have completed the distribution in every area we mentioned before.
It was a touching journey.
In northern parts, we hired the motorcycle to distribute food to the homes of the aged who were unable to come and who had no road which the truck could pass. This food has opened a door for the Gospel of Jesus Christ to go forth and many people received Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. We went with a group of volunteers, to help with the work.
Actually, two years ago the climate changed, and it has affected their crops. Almost the entire community is starving due to the drought. So it is our prayer that the donation of food can continue, as we believe God will provide for us
Below is the message to the entire team over there who has stood with us:
Thank you for your quick response and for sacrificial support of stretching your hand towards the need of our brothers and sisters who are in hard times.
May the grace of God fill every area of your life. The Bible says that whoever gives to those who were in need lends God. Let God bless you and provide for you in any area of life. We know since the pandemic strike the world, many people all over the world have been affected in other ways. Climate change has also contributed much. You have touched thousands of lives and given hope to the voiceless. Sometimes we feel even shame to ask but because of the grace and love which God has put in your life. You have not counted how many times we have requested the support.
The gift you have given has changed and transformed many lives. This time the situation of drought has affected almost the entire country. In some areas people go 3 to 4 days without eating. I believe this season God will make a way for them to go through. Continue praying for us this season, and the families who didn’t get any of the first shipment. We could use an additional of 235 bags of maize and 40 bags of beans for an additonal $9500.
Yours,
Michael and Thomas
