springs of hope

I just wanted to let everyone know who I sent a letter out to about our young friend Dominic that he is now Home! He arrived home yesterday with his grandmother. When at his grandmothers he went to check on getting tickets for them to get back to Nakuru. He is not familiar with the area, and became lost. He had to hide until daylight because of all the turmoil in this area, and being he was afraid. He made it back to his Grandmothers that morning, and they immediately left for Nakuru. Praise God for this, and thank you for all your prayers!

I also briefly talked to joseph this morning. They were at the refugee camp. he cannot believe how many people are there…. thousands. He said that they are all sleeping under tarps, and it has been raining. The children are now getting ill. he keeps reiterating that we “CANNOT FORGET” these people. Please pray for them. There Homes have been burnt to the ground. They have lost all of their belongings, and in some cases they have witnessed horrible atrocities, and family members killed before their eyes. “I can’t help but to weep when see all of these people living like this. My heart breaks.” Joe told me today.

They also visited the land today with the hydro-geologist. The determined that there is “NO” water on the land. This was discouraging. But, when they discovered a small community of people living near the land they inquired about where there water came from,and they had a well. Joseph & Jotham told the community about there plans for the land and they are willing to let us tap into their well, and run pipes to our land. This actually will be better, and much more cost effective. They also met with the architect today, and are further developing the plans for the orphanage. Alot is happening! We are very excited.

They did a different type of outreach today to two street boys. instead of one mass outreach they are trying to take a more personal approach by taking two boys out for lunch. One boys name was Rubin, and the other is Stephen. Rubin is 12, and Stephen is 11. they have both been living on the streets for over a year. They do not go to school, and desperately need help. By spending this time with them they get the opportunity to meet these boys on more personal level. let them know how much they matter to God, and give them some hope. Joseph has really made inroads with these children, and they are starting to really know him,and trust him. This is all happening with the help of very special partners in Ministry here in Kenya. Bishop Jotham of course.Victor, Peter, Grace, Pastor Peter, and Job. Please keep praying for all of them & Kenya!

God Bless, and goodnight!
