Overcoming Kenyan Cultural Barriers

I love it when I get on my early AM email check, and I have a message from Florence who of course, is at least 9 hours ahead of us. She is able to walk over to an internet cyber cafe and use when electricity is working in the area. Well this AM there was a message. And it was a good one. See over 6 months ago, one of our dear sponsors sent $300 to re-roof a poor woman's home who was caring for her little kids, with holes all over the place. Well just after our sponsor did that, the in-laws kicked her off their land and she was left to live in a worse rented shack near the market. That is typical cultural policy when the son dies, the woman & kids are kicked of family property. So Florence, our Kenya coordianator is not afraid to go against such battles. She met with the family for over 3 hours, and mediatated....and guess what? They welcomed her back, and the money will now be used toward building her and the kids a more safe home. PRAISE THE LORD!!!! Thank you Lord for giving Florence such courage as well. Continue Lord to bless Felix and his family!
