It is hard to believe it has been two weeks already since we left beautiful Kenya. But our work in Maseno/Ekwanda area of Kenya continues. What great volunteers we have especially our Kenya Coordinator Florence Oyosi. She is so remarkable, works so hard for our children and their families. And all without a salary. If you are involved in other ministries, please check their administrative cost out, both on the USA end and on the receiving end. We pray they will be honest with you. We know one that operates between large USA denomination and a Kenya one, that operates with 50% administrative fees. So please be aware of this. Ask questions, and of course, the best way, is to check it out in person.
We continue to offer this Holiday season the "perfect gift for the person who has everything!" You can gift him a goat, chicken, malaria net, mattress, water system, Emergency Medical Community Fund donation, educational fee donation, etc. Go to our website at www.hisarmskenya.org and check the Ebenezer area out. It is simple. We can even mail you out a card to include for the person that states you donated in his honor, but the struggling orphan in Kenya actually benefited. Again, there is no middle man to take a cut. Our prices for these items are what the store owner charges us, or that we purchase for in the local market. Then these gifts go directly to the struggling family. You cannot believe the difference this gift makes for this family. In many ways, there whole life is turned around because of this small gift.
We continue to rejoice over the great time we had in Kenya checking on our kids, playing with them, hugging them and auditing our books. Such blessings! We loved seeing the healthy happy, energetic kids! That is a sign they are getting protein and nutrition! Thank you so much! Asanate Sana to all who help sponsor or donate to these cost.
Pastor Joe Atwater continues to struggle to make it all the way to his home in San Diego, CA. He arrived on Oct. 27th in New York to see his kids, just in time for Hurricane Sandy. His daughter's house is one of the casualties. We are thankful that their family did not loose loved ones, though. But Pastor Joe has been trying to get back to CA since then, and is due to get on a flight, finally today we pray!
Thanks for following our blog. Continue to pray for our ministry please. Thank God for our great volunteers. And ask the Holy Spirit to guard, protect and lead our volunteers in the way the Lord would have them go every single day. Asante Sana! Mungu Awabarikie!
