Today (Friday) we visited Mercy to take the items we bought in Nairobi. They were in need of c

ups, lunch dishes (mama has to cook enough food for the kids to take to school every day in Tupperware-like dishes), toilet paper, soap for washing themselves and soap for washing clothes, spoons, knives, lotion for the kids, water jugs, wash basins, cooking pot (sufria), matches and steel wool. These children, and mama, are living without even the bare necessities on a daily basis and still thanking God for what little they have and relying on His providence. Here’s a picture of mum (Annastacia the house mum) with some of the items. She’s holding the lotion for her personal use and she was so grateful for that little bit that she started to cry. She doesn’t have the ability to
even take care of her own personal needs so before we left we assisted her in that area. She told us she is relying on God to be faithful to her and the children and she would stay by the children no matter what. Before leaving we put some cash on her phone - the first time it didn't work so we entered the PIN again and prayed for God to make it work and, Praise God it did! That's just a small example of how God is being faithful to His children at Mercy. (FYI - there is no electricity at Mercy so Annastacia has to walk to a neighbors to charge her phone every couple of days and since there is no vehicle here her phone is the only way we can talk with her before visiting) Please consider helping in any way the Lord leads you. Thank you and may God continue to show you His path.
