What a time warp!

We are back in the States now a week and are still scratching our heads in disbelief of the differences. God provided so many opportunities for us in Kenya to see His Hand working in peoples lives by providing food, shelter, water and other basic needs to His people who are faithful and put their trust totally in Him and His providence. Being here in the States we take for granted that when we turn on the faucet water will come out, and we won't have to worry about typhoid or other contaminents. Or that we don't have to leave the house to even get water. Our refrigerators are always full of food - some of which we eventually throw out.

Our brothers, sisters and children in Kenya are struggling right now with a very bad drought. Shamba's were planted in anticipation of the October 22nd rains to begin which haven't started yet. Food costs are rising while wages remain the same (some at approximately $.30/day) while others are begging for food.

The reality of living out the gospel message hits us daily in Kenya, but here we, as Americans, can put that reality aside while we selfishly complain about the economy and how it affects us. Are we feeding the hungry, giving drink to the thirsty, clothing the naked? Maybe we should look reality hard in the face and question whether or not we are living out the gospel. Maybe we should take our eyes off ourselves and put them on those who are truly struggling to live.

Please pray about where you should put your focus - whether it be this ministry or another - help those who are less fortunate and live out "religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress.."

Thank you for your continued support, both in prayer and financially. The work that has been done and continues to be done in Kenya is all from God's Hand and the hearts of His people.

We are getting a presentation together - "Kenyan Kids - Living out the Gospel Message" and we are open to presenting it to your group, club or function. Contact us for more information.

May God bless you as you continue your walk with Him as your Lord and Savior.
