Vocational School

Dear Friends

We visited our friends in the vocational school and introduced the new students to the reusable hygiene kits. We are always amazed when girls tell us what they normally use when they have their days. It's a small but empowering gift for them.

Village

 Dear Friends

We go deeper and deeper into the interior of the rural area. Making new friends and enjoying some great fellowship. Every time we meet first with a group of disabled people and then have a second meeting with the "general" population. Our team is amazing. We work well together in every aspect, even when the van gets stuck and it needs some hand-on work.

People are very grateful and express their thankfulness "African Style" as you can see in the video.

Visiting Friends

 Last year we met Naomi, a young mother with her tiny baby. She had no cloth for her child. Tina brought her some of the cloth her children grow out of. This year we visited again to bless her with more cloth and some food. She was overjoyed to see us again.  We shared the story of Naomi and Ruth  and invited her into a friendship with Jesus. It's a joy to reach people with the ultimate story of love, friendship and faithfulness.

Into the Village

 On Friday we went to visit one of the many villages in the area. We shared the Gospel, standing and sitting under a huge mango tree. People listened very intently and it was a joy being there. The food bags are a blessing to many as the rains still have not started and the fields wither in the hot sun.

Assessment Day

 Yesterday was a "big" day. 17 children and adults were assessed for wheel chairs and orthopedic devices. 

We saw God's favor on all the details that went into the planning with transport, specialist and people being on time for appointments. In the evening I received a text saying: " Thank  you for being here and doing what you do. Lives are being transformed and hope is rising." 

To care for those God cares is such a joy and privilege. Thank you for your prayers and support.

Outreach to the rural area of Dima

 The hunger in the rural area is overwhelming. People are suffering due to the lack of rain. Crops are not growing and people have little to eat. We distribute food bags to the hardest hit population. But not only food for the body but also for the souls by sharing God's Word.



Tina translates the message I shared

Many of the women  are widows and single mothers


The van is packed full

Community Outreach

 

Sitting under a Mango tree and sharing the Gospel is a highlight. The young woman had a open and prepared heart and committed her life to Christ. What a joyful event. 









Mango is by far my favorite fruit in Kenya. 

The trees can be huge and bearing enormous amounts of the heavy fruit. Watch when you sit under one. They can hurt 😇




Day Trip

 

The Team of Kuhenza welcomed us warmly.








 

Our exploring trip to Kilifi was very informative and helpful. We learned lots about how to operate a ministry to disabled children and families. On the way back we visited a Rescue Center for teenage  pregnant girls, we gained valuable insight. 

For lunch I drank some camel milk and eat camel soup with camel meat. It's a required taste. 😀

 What a joy it was to be back with the support group of disabled people.
