In Kenya

Hi from Kenya,

Well I arrived here on May 11, 2011, and now wrapping up two months of on the ground work. (July 8th). I will be leaving next week to return to USA. Thanks to all of those who help send me!

A lot has happened since I arrived. Dino and I have worked to get the Computer/Bible School up and running for Orphans this September. We are still on track to make that happen and ask that you pray for all of this. We also have met with President of CRF, Milton Jones and they have agreed to be the administrator for those 20 students needing support. We are asking that people support the orphans at rate of $30 a month to pay for instruction and cost of school as well as provide one meal each day.

The plan now is to start with 20 orphans that have finished high school and are out trying to find jobs. We hope that the computer training will help them to be good applicants for jobs. Dino has been trained in Computers, and also Darren Wilson from USA came over and help set up computers, so that we have our own router and laptops as well as curriculum, etc.

In Addition we had a group to visit from USA and they spent two weeks here and split time between Nairobi and Kisumu.

What a great blessing. Those coming were Rick and Jana Martin, George and Pam Pendergrass, Harriett and Lezlei Haag, Marilyn and Jessica Trabold, Jack and Marion Nadeau, and Lynn Vanderdasson. They did some great teaching, sharing, and just making themselves available to help children of Kenya. They also help bring the laptop computers over to be used in the school. Thanks to all of those who help send them.

I have traveled by road to Kisumu from Nairobi and that was a long but good trip (6 hours). We got to meet a group representing CRF and also share our plans about Computer/Bible school for orphans. Then we traveled back to Nairobi, where I am now.

Now I am working on finishing works here to go back to USA to help raise funds and support there in USA.

Thanks for those that love the orphans and poor of Kenya. May God bless you richly for all that you do.
