Another shopping day in Nairobi

Another day in Nairobi after stopping at Mercy to see the kids for a few minutes. Today we got mattresses, uniforms and school shoes. After purchasing the uniforms we got a call from Pastor Mwangange (the founder of Mercy) saying he had five more orphans at his office that he would be bringing to Mercy. This is why your support is so necessary – children are orphaned everywhere here and without someone to take them in and feed and clothe them where would they go? Touching Jesus every day in these children is a humbling experience and I pray that you will consider helping.
We had to get a truck to haul all the mattresses but we finally got everything back to Mercy around 8:30pm. When we opened up the back of our vehicle and the kids saw the stacks of shoes they started clapping and saying “thank you” and singing a song that said “what can I say to Jesus but thank you”. That said it all to me. What gratefulness they have in their hearts for everything and they know that it is because of Jesus that they are being given these gifts. Thank you for helping that become a reality in their lives. And I’m not ashamed to ask again and again for your support – when did we see you hungry, when did we see you thirsty – these children are hungry, thirsty and open for God’s love.
