Give thanks to the Lord

Even if life is hard we shall not forget to appreciate all what God has given to us. Let us not relate to the circumstances we are living in today but remember God who is over all, who's love is sufficient and never fail.

"Be joyful always, pray at all times and give thanks to the Lord in all circumstances for this is the will of God for us in union with Jesus Christ" 1 Thessalonians 5:18
Thanksgiving to God should be one of the most distinctive marks of each believer in Christ. We MUST not allow a spirit of ingratitude to harden our hearts and break our relationship with God and with others.
From one end of the Bible to the other, we are commanded to be thankful. King David declared" Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving" Psalm 147:7. Apostle Paul wrote "Be thankful" in the book of Colossians 3:15.
So my dear what are we thankful for to



day?

Mwanasity



My friends, I want you to meet Mwanasity. She is one of the kids from Light of the World Academy. She is bright and hard working girl. Though she is over 12 years old, she is still in class 2 (started school very late). The reason I am writing about her - because my heart is disturbed. I went to visit her home yesterday. Her 2 younger brothers (age 3/4) stop coming to school for such a long time and I was very much concerned about it. I was deeply moved after that visit.
Mwanasity stays very long distance from the school(neighboring village). Every day she has to walk, when rains she run. I found out her mom was chase away from home by Mwanasity's dad. The younger siblings (4 of them went with the mom), the older kids remained home, including Mwanasity. The Father got another wife who already has the kids of her own. The Father and the new wife plus her kids they left and stay somewhere else, very far from the village. Mwanasity has remain with older sister(class 7) and older brother (19) who suppose to take care of younger siblings. Himself is still young, did not finish primary school, plus his other responsibility is the young wife of his own (young girl 16 years old) and small baby 4 month old. 
If there is anyone OF you who has been also touched by Mwanasity's story and would like to take responsibility of supporting her on monthly base, please inbox or leave a comment. 
Mwanasity is one OF the KIDS who are praying for the miracle in their own life. There are many more.

Apeal

Mother Theresa said once if you can not feed hundred then feed just one.
Light of the World Academy counts about 100 kids so far, many of them go without food for the whole day. From time to time we provide meals but it is not on daily basics. We are praying for funds, people who stand with us in this particular project. 

1 meal for 1 child cost 0.5$ (2,2zł). Monthly cost for 1 child for his/her lunch 11$ (45zl).
To support child fully cost 25$ per month (100zł).
We need 100 people who can commit themselves with 11$(45zl) every month to help us to carry on with the feeding program. If you are interested to be part of it inbox for more details please.

January 2017

Friends, sorry for taking long to write. I am not going to look for excuses but we have been really busy. Many things took place since last time I wrote to you. Every time I tried to put words together I was failing, leaving empty page, mostly because of tiredness.
Running up and down I just realized time in Africa can also move fast.

I will try to be brief and speak most important things today.
In the beginning I would love to thank you all for standing with us in prayer and any other support. God did not leave us and we believe He will not leave. Whatever he promised he will fulfill in his own time. Just remember to pray for strength and more grace for our little family.

Going back to the ministry/project we appreciate your financial support. Things were tough, not easy. There were times of discouragement and giving up. What kept us going it was obedience and faith in God's promise.

“ Do not lose your courage, then, because it brings with it a great reward. You need to be patient, in order to do the will of God and receive what he promises” Hebrew 10;35

Before end of last year God provided in a miraculous way finances to build the class. Honestly I never had such expectations to do that so fast specially in the country where things move very slow. Believe or not but this is not the end. We completed the whole class (older kids moved there already) but also started to build another class. 
God is full of surprises if only we let Him do his work. There is still a lot of needs, we count on you our friends.
Our only source of income is you. Will you allow God to work through you?
Our desire is to feed the children daily but for now we lack funds to provide food for almost 100 kids. Place is very dry, people struggle with food and water. The swamps dried completely, animals are dying because of no water, people suffer because no water.
 Imagine it is you in the middle of desert and you find hard to get a glass of water? Very dramatic situation. We are hoping one day we will be able to drill the borehole.
So far, we want to acknowledge and appreciate the time, energy and hope Grazyna Sroczynska put into project of drilling the borehole. May God pay you back for moving up and motivating the whole town to contribute the little they can. Bless you.


Apart from the classes ,we also managed to completed one of the store building and now in a process of building another room which will be use to host our visitors/voluntaries. We hope you can help us to completed this room as well.



If you wish to do so, you can donate any amount using pay-pal on our blog, you can use account in Uk, mbank account in Poland or you can send direct to foundation account in Kenya.

Praise

Dear friends and supporters

I am taking this opportunity to give thanks to mighty God who enable us to move forward with our project work. I am speachless- can not find enough words to express my joy to see how much has been done since last time we wrote to you. Thank you so much for standing with us in prayers and any other support. May God richly bless you.
Toilets
So far we managed to complete the toilets for children and the teachers. Glory always goes to our mighty God.We also started putting up a small store for school, and now in process of building the class. Please pray for God's favour , we have 3 weeks to commplete the class. The children will be back from their holidays straight after New Year. 

Store

Times is running very fast but I believe whatever God started he will not leave abounded. He is able to do things which for us humans are  to hard to understand.
For now, the whole school is happy to see the progress and children can not wait till they will be back. Very often they pass by and watch the work. It is a nice feeling to see them being  excited.

class foundation
But to be honest there was a time when I had so many doubts, if this would ever happen. I wanted to push so much by mine own strenght not allowing God to step in. Friends in such times we can get only frustrated and dissapointed, overall tired of doing anything. My advise for you and me today- do not allow devil to distroy you. He is trying his tricks even during our sleep. Be alert and thankful in every single situation. For us might be taking so long but for God there is not such world. His timing is just perfect. Join us in praise and celebration. God did it for us and He can do for you also.

On behalf of the entire school we are sending warm greetings to you and your families, taking the opportunity we wish you a happy and wonderful Christmas.
