A Love Like No Other ~ My World Tuesday

All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you,
do ye even so to them.

Matthew 7:12

Hello,


Imagine you are a father or a mother and you gave birth to a child who is not well, and could not stand up for close to nine years. What pain you would have. But the family I am about to tell you about, had such a child and loved him dearly.

The child could not talk, but he would move his eyes. He was happy to see his father and mother and he knew their voices. He was happy when children played too. This is Kiprotich, a precious jewel that will be missed by his mother who loved him the way he was.
I don't want to look or think about the work it will entail to keep such a child; waking in the middle of the night to turn him, cleaning him, etc. but the family loved doing it for their dear one.

That is why God has blessed this family with two beautiful kids, a boy and gal. It touched so many of us to see the strength of this dear family as they laid their loved one to rest.

I love them with all my heart.

Death at IDP Camp

Hello friends,

It is disheartening to die at an Internally Displaced People (IDP) Camp. It happened this week to one dear soul and we had to make quick arrangements to go there with food and water for the community that needs help. A kid died of cold, and chest problems since their tents are now torn and it is so far for them to access help.

We had to go and comfort the people with the Word of God too. Mr. Chepkwony who lost his kid said he tried everything to save his child. But where they live it takes a full two hours just to get to a tarmac road.



They people in the IDP Camp really appreciated the little we had to share and they shared it equally. We plan to go there again at the beginning of February. We are sending appeals now for donors to help us and we are sure the Lord will open a way.

Have a great day.
