Spoke to the girls at school

All your prayers are helping so much!  God is opening our eyes to suffering and pain, but then we are trying to think of more solutions with God's help.  Besan and Gigi speaking to the girls at school has been so eye opening.  They supposedly get sex education in school....but apparently not good enough.  Some of the questions they dealt with today made them think this precious little girl maybe was raped, wondered about pregnancy, etc.  Oh my, we surely did not know we would be lead where we are, but this time we already have had three long conversations with girls and/or women on the various issues.  We pray for these girls and women being raped, and being made to think they are less then perfect creations.  BRING ON THE Psalm 139 projects! WOW are they needed!

A family in desperate need!

This is Renee.  My eyes are filled with tears for the suffering that Nancy, Besan, Jeanne, and Pastor Joe witnessed as they visited one of the newer homes to the program.  There are 3 boys that all have started first grade at age 8, 10 and 12.  They are just so happy to be able to go to school.  The children still all look malnourished with popped bellies.  When they gave them toys, the children sat on a rock and did not have energy to play.  Food only comes out once a month, so they would still be more then 10 days before they would get more food.  The travelers/missionaries gave the family all the protein bars they had with them and purchased eggs for them.  The Dad has died.  The Mom is trying...she had to sell her 13 year old girl to someone who would care for her if she was their servant.  The mom never sees her anymore, but knows she is alive.  The house they live in is not much bigger then a coffin.  It has no beds and 6 are living in the home.  All of them have jiggers on their feet.  After many tears, we pray along with the travelers/missionaries that there will be $500 to build this family a house to live in.

Women issues in Kenya

Wow, a minute again to be on the site. All is well here as far as our health and well-being. We are having great caring people caring for us at the housing unit! Met with ladies today who will start a support group after we leave for women's issues. God is GOOD! They are helping figure out solutions...and when there is not solutions right now, they can encourage one another! It was very meaningful. One never knows what ministry will consist of....today it was talks & sharing of rapes, condoms, HIV, girls in school being mistreated because of being girls, etc..... thank you so much for your prayers.

This is Nancy

This is Nancy. We are so excited to be on the internet for a few minutes. What a time we are having. Very emotional as always, learning lots. Have seen blessings of what has been happening, but continue to see so many needs. So be prepared! We have so much to share again. I will try not to cry so much you cannot understand what I am saying. Just keep praying for us, for discernment in how we d

o things. Pray for Stephen, who may be dying any day of AIDs, one of our daddies of precious little Reuben. Now what for this little guy? Another of our kids with HIV of the new ones, but will not share here, as it is hard to hear. So will contact the sponsors when we get home. but so many good stories of success!!! Love you dear friends!

Orphan Feed

This is Renee.  Mom (Nancy Rowe) called Dad (Dan Rowe) this afternoon about 2pm our time,
10pm Kenya time.   Had a great orphan feed...tomorrow they have gifts for the His Arm's students (party time).   All is well with the travelers/missionaries.   They even had a little critter in their quarters at bedtime.   It was a gecko, who seemed to know nothing about Geico car insurance!  

TRAVELERS ARE ALL SAFELY IN KENYA!!!!!

This is Renee.  I just talked to Mom (Nancy Rowe), and all the travelers are safe in Kenya!!!!  She said their accommodations are very nice.  They have already experienced miracles of getting the luggage there CONSIDERABLY cheaper than expected!  Thank you Lord for your blessings and protection!  They are looking forward to having a party with the logos kids tomorrow.

Travelers on their way to Kenya today!

This is Renee.  This song so perfectly describes the heart of the travelers to Kenya today!  Listen to this and hear the words and pray for them daily please!  Thank you Lord for giving Nancy, Besan, Jeanne, and Pastor Joe the courage to move into action to stand beside the broken!  Bless them all with protection, health, and energy as they begin their travels.  Be with the family members at home and bless them with peace.  Amen.
