Kenya Mission Grants

Today we received word that we are among 120 being considered for 30 grants possibly being given out to non-profits trying to make a difference in the world. Many people had told us, we needed to apply for grants to help our ministry with all the great things His Arms hopes to do to make life better for our friends in Kenya.  However, we now know that takes a lot of effort!  But we completed the first step, and now leave it in the Lord's hands. We request your prayers! We know many ministries are out there in the Global World doing great things to make life better for others.  However, we also know some are more popular for whatever reason then others. The work we do in Ekwanda and Maseno area of Western Kenya might not look beautiful, might not be one that will give great publicity to some donors, but we can say in our hearts it is saving lifes, giving people with HIV hope and respect, giving children a chance to get  a basic 8th grade education (OR MORE!) and keeping them out of sex traficking and prostitution!  It is helping to give young girls and young women empowerment and self-respect where they hear they are of value to God and to us!  And we do this without paying salaries and big bucks to politicians or church officials so that the program can keep going!  People check out your ministries you are sponsoring. Many have hidden corruption they are working with, and your dollars may not be getting to where you think they are. We promise we will do everything in our power so the funds go to the most vulnerable!  No CEO getting a half-million dollar salary.  No, just volunteers working their hearts out trying so hard in USA and in Kenya to help people improve their situations and most of all, to know that they are so valued by our Lord and Savior.  So please pray for us.  Pray that God sends funds to help our ministry continue as we have hopes and dreams that it will.  And thank you Lord for so many willing volunteers, sponsors and donors you have already blessed us with!  Thank you!  ASANTE SANA!

  1. Nancy, This would be great! You know I've been giving lots of thought to what will happen next for kids like Rose Mercy who may not have the aptitude for high school. I know that Besan and I have been able to help her in so many ways over the last few years, but I'd sure like to find a way for her to become a self-sustaining, happy adult. I like the day care idea. How wonderful it would be if she could be trained for a job that would benefit her community, without the need to attend high school.
