Borehole completed

 "Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Father's Son, will be with us in truth and love." (NIV,2 Jana 1: 3)

 

Dear donors, brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ, we are grateful for each of you, for your great heart, prayers and support.

Without your help, we wouldn't be here today. You might be wondering what new has been happening recently here. In short, how are the things in Kwademu. God was so wonderful that He blessed the well design we all longed , finally In mid-March, we installed the pump! The well project has been completed and the well is working! We now have water around the clock, during the rainy and dry season. We don't have to worry anymore if it will rain and when!  The well is one of the biggest achievements this year.  It's a huge blessing for all of us, especially since the rains appeared with a considerable delay and not in the amount expected. Once again, thank you very much for all your prayers and support! 

Furthermore, there is progress in the church building work- we finished the floor, put the door in place, we also managed to buy and install a rainwater collection tank. In addition, we managed to reach several families and make them aware of the importance of family planning. On average, families here have 6 and more children. It is very hard to find jobs, and providing for such large family is a real challenge for many. Only 3 families took advantage of this program, but we hope that more families will get interested in it in the future.

The next school semester is coming to an end. This year the summer break will last only a week, the children will return to school so soon to catch up with the lost time due to Covid19 lockdown. We also hope that we will complete in time the construction of the 6th grade's classroom. We still lack some funds to complete it, but we trust that God will not leave us in such urgent need. In the next few weeks we are expecting a group of volunteers from Poland who decided to devote their time and money to come to Kenya to join our work at the school and community. So far we have hosted 2 groups in the past 3 years. Unfortunately, the pandemic that broke out last year closed that door for the volunteers, but we thank God that it is starting to reopen now. Therefore, we ask you, beloved, to remember in your prayers this group that will be with us in August. This time the volunteers will be helping in a bit different way.  We will focus not only on working with the children but also devote a lot of attention to the local community, preaching the word of God and sharing skills that some members of the community might find helpful in everyday life.

 Henry still spends most of his time in Nairobi at the course he started in January this year. I am in Mombasa with the children, trying to supervise the project in the village, with God's help. There is still so much to do, new challenges arise with each day, but looking back and at the present situation, we do nothing but give glory and honor to the Most High.

 

We send blessings and best wishes to everyone, and please remember us in your prayers. We also uplift  you all into the hands of Heavenly Father!
