Little Country Church Update

Greetings from Kipkaren, God continues to show up here. The people we have encountered have shown us the love of God in a way we have rarely seen in our country.
We continue to try and be a blessing to these people however, I believe we are the ones being blessed. On Sunday we attended church and the team sang for the congregation. Many decisions were made for Christ. After church Pastor Dennis took the team to one of his favorite places, “The Rock” where we spent about one hour. Children from around the village came to visit with us. We spent time with them and took their photos. It was a beautiful time for all. The scenery at this place was awesome.
On Monday Janet & Tiffany went on home visits to meet with people who are affected by alcoholism. This is a huge problem in Kenya. They were able to pray for these people and offer them hope in Christ. Janet is also meeting with the brewers of the alcohol and letting them know that they are helping alcoholics stay in bondage by brewing the alcohol. Many of them would like to change their occupation and we are praying for them. The team will continue to go out each day to minister to those who are suffering because of alcohol
Sherry attended a burial service today of a one year old baby boy. The child died on Saturday of an illness that would have been treatable in the U.S. Joanne goes each day to the school and teaches on personal hygiene - the kids really enjoy having her come. At 6:00 pm each day Tiffany, Sherry & Joanne do devotions with the children in the children’s homes. They are really doing a wonderful job ministering to the orphans there.
Throughout the time we have spent here Janet, Tiffany, Joanne & Sherry have been providing massage and manicures to the women of the village. These women are the ones who work so hard taking care of the orphans in their homes and teaching them in the schools. They are really enjoying the time we are spending with them.
Vic is working to correct many electrical errors that could be very dangerous. He is building a great relationship with one of the men here he is teaching.
Tiffany is quite amazing! She is so solid. She is displaying such a servant’s heart. She is working with the house mothers and the school kids. Pastor Dennis finished the pastor’s conference with over 50 pastors in attendance. Some traveled over 100 miles to get here. Many of them walked and rode bicycles. We covet your prayers and want you to know we are all doing very well and miss you very much and look forward to seeing you next week however, it will be very difficult for us to leave this beautiful place.
Love, “The Kenya Team”
