Help for Misson House

We want to extend personal thanks to all of those who have supported our ministry here in West Pokot, Kenya. Who would have ever believed that God would allow us the great privilege of serving the wonderful Pokot people again. We are so grateful to our many friends and the Churches who have come along side and shared the vision with us. Please know that you are all in our prayers. Things are not always easy here...in fact it is frequently difficult and frustrating, but through it all, our Lord has shown us many miracles -both small and large, and His hand is evident in all of our steps.

But, we need your help. The Elders and community of Kamaketto have given the ministry 15 acres of ground on the edge of the village. On this land we are building a mission house for us - and others working with the ministry - to stay in when we are in the 'bush', an outhouse, a church, and eventually a school. Praise God!

All of these are simple block buildings with corrugated metal roofs. There is no need for heat :) and since there is no electricity out here, no air conditioning, and no running water, we just need a door and a few windows. The floors are concrete, and the furniture is rough cut, and rugged like the land. We collect rainwater into a cistern off the roof, and strain then boil it for drinking water. This life is not for those looking for comfort, but we love it and God gives us grace.

But as simple as these buildings are, the materials and labor still costs money. We desperately need $4,000 to finish the mission house, and purchase the cistern for our water. Mary would like to have a gravity water shower (well... I would too!), and we need to put in an outhouse. If you can help, please send a love offering to
