Floods Cause Loss of Life and Lots of Damage

"Three people are missing while close to 40 families have been left homeless in Nakuru town after their homes were swept by raging floods on Saturday night." These words were the opening words to an article in the paper on Sunday.

So much damage has been done by the heavy rains and floods.
I survey the damage. You can see the people have tried to build up the land with sand bags but mother nature was too powerful.

The land has just been swept away.
 
 
This house has been destroyed and sludge from the flood has entered.
 
This mama has to make the best of her situation.



The side of this man's house has been obliterated.
 
This house can no longer be lived in.

More garbage has been deposited in the slums by the running waters of the floods.



These people are very poor and have so little.  The recent on-going floods have taken away the little bit that they have.  In some cases, lives have been lost.

 What can be done for them except that good people feel moved to help.
Please pray for these dear ones.

  2. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. There is so much damage and devastation and these people have so little already. I pray the Government of Kenya would take action to protect these people in future as they have promised to do. I also pray for humanitarian aid to help them deal with immediate needs. God have mercy.

  3. Jonah, my heart and prayers are with you! and with this village for all they have to endure with the damage and loss. My prayer would be, that the people would work together so that many hands would make the load light. Jonah, may God Bless you supernaturally for all you do.!!!

  5. Jonah,
    I would like to add the Priestly Prayer for you today.

    Numbers,7:24-27
    May the Lord Bless you and keep you Jonah:
    The Lord make His face to shine upon you, and
    be gracious to you;
    May the Lord lift up his countenance upon you:
    and Give you Peace my friend!
    love Brenda
