Dear
friends
Happy
New Year to you all, we hope you enjoyed your festival season. Also
us we had a good time. Taking this opportunity we would love to thank
those of you who been praying for us and took time to send some
Christmas gifts for children. Though it happened a bit later, was
already after Christmas but it is better late than never.
We managed
to prepare Christmas
meal for little ones and their parents, all
children were happy that day.
The amount of food was so much that
even parents carried to their homes. Nobody remained hungry at that
very day. We wish we would be able to prepare meal for the kids every
day but our budget is far away from what we need. However much we
trust God for his love endures forever.
We
are already at the end of the first month in this new year. Time
is passing by so fast, by the time we all realize we will be in
December 2015. Our prayer is that this year will be much fruitful to
you no matter of which side of the world you are. We all are going
to face new challenges and go through new experience, we pray for
God's grace upon all of us to reach end of this year successfully
watching our plans to come true.
The
children are back to schools, though the academic year started a bit
late
by
the children.
Briefly
to remind you, the village is located around 60 km from Mombasa, it
is deep in the bush, far away from civilization. There is no clean
water, no power, people live in the mad houses.
Now we are in the dry season, so it is hard to get rainy water
(during the rain people take their containers out for the water to
fill in). That's why too we would love to drill the borehole. Lately
we spent few days in the village, using the water from the swamp,
After wards Mirka and Hannah got sick. Thanks to God for they are
well now.
In
that village there is one government school which gives almost free
education (say almost because kids still have to pay for books,
examines, etc).One class has up to 100 kids or more and only one
teacher for class. It is hard to manage such number of children.
Apart from that there were few small private schools where kids were
studying either from under the tree in the open or in house of one of
the teachers. Someone can say that these kids are used such life,
they do not know other ways. It is true but is the blind man who was
born blind not used to his situation? At the same time as much as he
needs healing these kids they need change, they need light in their
lives.
We
would love to start building having four classes, room for teachers
and toilets together with the borehole but at the moment we do not
have any single coin for buying buildings materials, paying the
labor, getting drilling done and others. Please as much as we need
your prayers we need your financial support. Share with your friends,
families and let us join together make impossible to be possible.
We
also trust God for opening the door for us to travel to Poland. It
took almost 3 years since we were there. Please also remember us in
this area.
We
know it is not easy, many people are asking for money today but we do
pray God gives you wisdom and knowledge how to respond. Apostle Poul
said ...”by this kind of hard work we must help the weak,
remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: It is more blessed
to give than to receive”- Act 20;35. Unfortunately we are not
able to pay you back but God will we can assure you. Please be open
to Holy Spirit, let Him guide you in your decision. If you need more

Have
great year
Mirka
