Planting & Teaching In Kericho

Hello,

We are working very hard to see that the farmers get what they need at this time. Right now we are seeing lots of needs inside and outside of the community but we are glad the rains are here.




Vacation Bible School (VBS) is about to start and we distributed seeds and fertilizer to help a few people farm their farms. We are really thinking we need to expand this farming project as we did not expect to see so many who had not farmed this planting season.



I will add more pictures later this week. Otherwise have a great day and God bless.

Lots of Rain!!

From Lots of Rain



Hello,

It is raining lots here! We
are so excited as we know that the crops will grow and become strong in the coming months.

We are blessed with Rains - From Lots of Rain


Our
worry though is that some farmers were not able to buy enough seeds and fertilizer for this season. Please pray that all will be well and done. I am praising God for what the Lord has blessed us with this week.

Our Sufficiency is in Him: Planting 2009

Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency [is] of God. 2 Corinthians 3:5

Hello,

Farming is going on right now, all the farms have been made ready for another planting season.

The rains are starting again and we are praying that we get enough as we have had a dry season. This weather for us is sometimes what we call winter & it is extremely cold right now.

Preparing the land - From Planting 2009

We are trying as much as we can to reach more people to help them in in farming by buying seeds and fertilizer so they can plant crops and harvest them for food. We still have to the middle of April to reach more farmers with the seeds and fertilizers they need.

Preparing the land - From Planting 2009

We are trying to do this because we cannot distribute food again to them next year. We want them to have enough for their families and even some left over to sell so that they can pay for their basic needs like other foods (sugar, flour, greens, oil), school tuition, candles, etc. With the famine in the land we really need outside help from mighty men and women of faith. If you can help at all please let me know. I would be so blessed to hear from you.

Otherwise we are grateful to God for the rain. The famine here has been covering the whole country and so we are blessed by God with rain so that Kericho could continue to plant and harvest if we have seeds and fertilizer. No matter how much land we may have, we can do nothing unless God provides the seeds and the fertilizer, the fertile grounds, the rains to water the soil, the sun to nourish and grow the seeds and the labour to bring in the harvest when it is ready. We are relying on God for all our blessings.

God Bless

Kenya Updates

hello friends,

i hope your day is getting better for u..
just wanted to update u on news making headlines here in kenya....
students were able to start going to school today after the teachers called off a two week strike that paralysed education in primary (grade) school and some part of high school. (we praised God for this agreement)

at the same time hunger continues to bite many Kenyans....we are told over ten million people completely lack food which is very sad for us....Pray that farmers are able to plant this year. we thank God for the rain that has come to several parts of Kenya...the challenge now is just getting the money to buy seeds and fertilizer for most families.

Yesterday a Big mall in in the central Business district of Nairobi got fire and almost 46 people are dead....the name of the chain is Nakumatt Downtown. Rescue efforts are ongoing now . Please check the links below for more info.

That is the news from here,
have a great evening
God Bless
