DEATH OF EMANUEL, GRANDSON TO OUR CHURCH MEMBER

He was a pupil of grade three, was a lively young boy. He had been attacked by a stray rabid dog. It is alleged that the animals bit him. When it tried to attack again, it was killed by neighbors who spotted its strange behavior, before it could attack other children.

The parents couldn’t afford further treatment because of the poverty. The drugs are rare, thus expensive for ordinary villagers to afford. Emanuel died on thursday 12th february and was laid to rest on saturday 14 February.

May his SOUL RIP.

Helpless Orphans

Kids Straining. As the teachers are still on strike, many pupils are forced to stay at home with parents, while those that come from well off families are continuing with there learning. Unfortunately they will do same examinations at the same time.

I saw these pupils carry a bunch of sugarcane,one of them a young boy of about 7 years was straining as the load was to heavy for his size.I went to inquire from them why they had to carry such heavy loads. They told me that they were hungry and no one was there to take of them, so they travel 10km to farms where those plants are and carry them to sell. That’s how they buy stationery before they go back to school.

I really feel that the young one needs support to keep him away from carrying such loads, or else he might develop chest problem from the weight. I am adding him to the list when I will get a loving kind Godly christian friend to support my ministry.

January 2015 Prayers

We went for prayers at church on the evening of 31st December 2014 which went all night to 2015 January 1st. That was the time when we brought together all church members to have a   small party and we contributed little to buy some sugar to prepare tea for the widows and needy children who couldn’t afford to get something at all at home.

After prayers, where we just used tin paraffin lamps to provide light, through the night, in the morning, there was a morning praise and worship. Which was followed by testimonies from members on what God has done to us. Even though many of our members are living on daily bread, less than a dollar, still we gave thanks for the life that our Father has given us.

VERSE OF THE DAY: PSALMS 84:1-2,10

1) How lovely is your tabernacle,o Lord of hosts.

2) My souls longs, yes, even faints For the courts of the lord,my heart and flesh cry out for the living God. 10 for a day in your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere,i would rather be a door keeper in the house of my lord than dwell in the tents of wickedness.

How We Celebrated Christmas 2013

Christmas is the only day that many try to spare for celebrations. Last year our was a bit different from others. No special diet, no special clothes, just a day of thanking God for his protection thru-out the year. Yes, we would wish to, but our finances can’t allow even a Christmas tree with lights. We went to church on the 24th evening, to pray. It rained, thus making many late to arrive. We worshiped and prayed till dawn. Then took a short break. There was tea prepared for the members. We then resumed prayers at 9am to 1pm. Many left for home while us officials remained. Unfortunately many of the members just spend the day at the nearest shopping centre. There was nothing special. Twas there that we saw some wealthy people taking soft drinks. At 5pm I headed home where my family was. My wife didn’t even do her hair. I found her just reading the bible while the kids were playing. We took supper and twas the end of Christmas. I pray this will be different. I hope and pray to treat my family and to buy gifts for them some day.

Dought Problems Persist

It is the fourth season in Siaya where our crops have dried up.. we entirely depend on subsistence farming as a way of livelihood. For the past 3 years,we have been depending on imported maize contaminated with aflatoxin poison from UGANDA.. and also on RELIEF RATIONS from the government. Unfortunately the rations come once in 2years.. We don’ t know what we are gonna do, since we are jobless. Our widows and children are starving. Please donate any amount to help..we will appreciate. GOD BLESS YOU.
