Kenya Communications – Support that changes lives!
Over the past several years, Word In Deed has been financial supporting a small church ministry in Kitale, Kenya. Over the years, Pastor Alfred has been a faithful steward with the funds he receives from our ministry – which is supported by donations made to WID. This ‘pay is forward’ effect allows us, WID, to reach out to remote ministries and church leaders like Pastor Alfred and give him the resources to feed the orphaned children in his community (like during Christmas 2013); purchase cows and chickens to farm and use the food to eat and sell for income, working toward self-sustainment.
Below for your perusal is several (unedited) email exchanges from Pastor Alfred. His humble, servant heart is grateful and prayerful. As a ministry, WID is also thankful that God has provided the resources for us to help support his church. If you would like to support Pastor Alfred, please let us know. We would be joyful in having more people joining the team in Kenya!

Its true brother , we ought to be strong always in our faith to resist temptation from Satan because this are the last days and the devil is fighting so hard to get his followers , therefore i thank you for your encouragement and prayers , although as servants of God we normally under go several challenges in ministry work here in kenya, but God is always protecting and uplifting us strong in most areas of difficulties.Brother i was surprised to hear that some of us are not trust worthy with what you normally send them for ministry work in their regions , therefore we are praying for lord jesus christ to lead you and your ministry to the right believers who can be good stewardship with what you will give them to use in serving God.May be to let you know few things in our ministry concerning the project you initiated for us in previous years , poultry and dairy projects,Poultry project is really doing very well and we usually sell eggs to get our income to help our children project and others.Last year December we sold 100 chicks and collected 50 thousand ksh.We used fifty thousand shillings from the chicken project to purchase one cow to improve our dairy to add on the four we had on place. For now we have 40 chicks remaining, 20 for eggs and twenty for hatching the young ones and the project is moving on well.Also for now we have got 5 milking cows , we are milking one and four are pregnant , when thus four gives birth, then we shall have more milk to sell for more income to help our people with their basic needs as God will lead us.Today in the morning i decided to take some photos of our dairy and poultry projects so that i can update you on what is happening here through the funds you send us some time back.Attaches are the photos of our cows and chicken , therefore we love to inform you that in Kenya particularly our area is very dry now and our cows are lacking grass ,therefore when you see them on photos for now they look a bite emaciated , please keep us in prayers for rain to come because April is our raining month for people to practice agriculture and dairy keeping .please my dear brother our church has two prayer request today through your ministry for Gods support and provisions , our cows needs Hay grass to feed on and for now we have no funds to purchase, Another prayer request is that ,our church is planning to apply for power next month to assist our children at the center , church,my house and also to help our chicken to lay eggs during night time, so please brothers ans sisters kindly engage us in your prayers for the lord to raise his hands over our needs.Thank you my dear brother for this updates and prayers we are in prayers for you and your ministry in the states.We really love you brother and value what is in your heart for others, keep strong and a shame the devil .Nice time and good moment in your life .Joan and my children greets so much and wish well and Gods healing of your physical body.Be blessed brother , pastor alfred

Dear my brother in the lord,
Hope you are doing well in the lord.
Actually we are doing well in the lord with my family, church, children ,poultry and cow project. I still say thank for your great help to us in kenya with your board members and your family. Am soon going to send you a report on how we spend the funds you sent us last year.
My brother , i lost my 9 years son last month, thats why i delayed most in writing you. The boy has been admitted in hospital for two months then at long last he died, and therefore brother, pray for me and family for Gods support and provisions. I really spent much time and finances to save his life, but the lord loved him more and therefore took him from us.
