Kamaketto Mission House

The Mission house at Kamaketto is almost done. The building is all block, three rooms with a porch. The roof is made of corrugated metal. You see the workers pictured here on the front porch; temporarily, the congregation of Kamaketto will be using the poach to have church. Eventually we believe the funds to build a church on the grounds will be provided. This house will provide two bedrooms, a kitchen, an outhouse, and a bathhouse with sun heated water for a shower. In faith, we are preparing for working witness teams, pastors, and other mission groups who will be staying in the mission house while working to spread the Gospel in West Pokot. When Leory and Mary are in the "bush" (which is most of the time) they will stay here. Is is so much safer and better than staying in a tent.

The church and community provided the sand, hauled the rocks for the foundation, and helped as they could with the construction. The Kamaketto cheif and the people of the community have given H.I.M. 15 acres of land to use as a mission headquarters in West Pokot. Here, along with the Mission House, we are asking the Lord to provide funds for the church, a storage building, the outhouse, a shower house, and a screen porch to keep out of the weather (and mosquitoes) and meet with elders and community folks.

We need your help! While buildings are very basic with no indoor plumbing, heat or air conditions (no electricity!) -the block, corrugated metal, windows, doors, cement and labor to build them costs money. If the Lord moves on you to provide funds, you can be certain that we are able to stretch every dollar as far as possible. We believe the church can be built for around $15,000 in US dollars. Please pray and give as you can. Mike and Ruthann are also available to speak to your church or to individuals about the ministry and how you can help. call Mike at 907-841-8224.
