Below is an email from a pastor and his wife who discovered us through our website a year ago. I met them while I was in Kenya and gave them funding to start raising chickens. They have taken it and used it extremely well, by stretching it to begin a chicken business. They use the profits to support their small community of orphaned kids!
They have asked us to come and visit them whenever we travel through Kenya again to minister in their small community.  They are very poor people and I am very impressed how they used these small funds and gave a fine account and documentation of their efforts to us. They are very dear people of God.buy bouncy castle canada
I hope and trust that you are doing well in the Lord. Actually we are doing well at Kitale and always praying for you and your family. I would love to know if brother Robert improved from sickness, because it is now some time when we don’t communicate, otherwise we could have got information about him. Joan, the children and the church are doing well and have greeted you so much, praying that God willing they love to meet you at Kitale next year. The chicken project is really doing well and with the little you gave ustian xiao cheng, we have moved a step. We are now selling eggs and male chickens to buy food for the orphans daily through this project. For now we are having 70 chickens and by December we shall have 100 of them. Out of this we shall sell 50 and remain with 50, and those will keep us running. From what you gave us in Nairobi, it was 38,000 ksh.
· We used 20,000 to improve the the structure of the chicken, this including materials and labour.
· We bought food for the chickens worthy 10000 ksh
· Drugs for the chickens 4000 ksh
· We used 3000 to purchase more chichen spieces to add on what we had.
· One thousand is still in the account.
This is how we spent the amount you gave us while in Nairobi. I have attached some photos of the project and Joan taking care. Please have a look at them. We really appreciated your kind help to us and the orphaned children. Thank you and may the Lord bless you and your family. Hope to hear from you as well.

Great achievement! Reminds me of the parable of the talents…they were really diligent and God increased your gift many-fold. Wonderful. Thank you Lord.

A Message from WID Founder Steve DeMoss
    In April, I went to Kenya, East Africa, to meet with Pastor John who we became friends with through one of our board members.  Pastor John works with refugees from Congo and Sudan whose families were slaughtered in civil unrest and who barely escaped with their lives.
   I preached from Ezekiel 37 about the Dry Bones and how God can bring new life to their seemingly dead situations of no jobs, no family, and no homes.  They received the word like it was tasty bread, and savored every moment we had together. Pastors came from the corners of Kenya to meet with me, telling me their stories and asking us to bring teams to their villages.
   Pastor Edward from Uganda met me in Kenya to aid in the outreach.  Even he who is accustomed to devastation and challenging situations was nearly overwhelmed. One night I needed to go to bed because of the exhaustion I was feeling and he begged me to stay with him even though it was 11pm already. People were all around us until late into the night, each wanting ten minutes of our time.
  The needs in Kenya are powerful and almost overwhelming. We need to pray for Pastor John and the church of Kenya.
   After a week in Kenya, I travelled to Uganda to visit the works going forward there and to meet with the ministry director of First Fruits to review the work they have helped us with–building the vocational school and a guard house for the clinic.  We had an amazing two days together where we not only had ribbon-cutting ceremonies, but also went deeper into the villages to a place where the people are 75% HIV positive.  She was very affected by what she saw. She has been all over the world, yet said she has not seen such poverty as this village.  By the time she left, she affirmed her commitment to continue to help us help the poor in Uganda!zorbs for sale
   In addition to the above, four pastors and I travelled a good distance (we got lost by 10 hours!!! over bumpy roads!) to go on a pastor’s retreat!  It was the first one they had been on in all their years of ministry.  I opened up God’s word and encouraged them in their faithful service and challenged them to keep pressing forward regardless of the setbacks they face every week.
   The Lord blessed the trip mightily and I came home energized to do my part in raising awareness, personnel, and finances to continue lifting people from poverty into richness in Christ in both word and deed.
   One man who I would buy a small breakfast for each day (my driver) was so impressed by the idea of Word and Deed that he said, “So many come and preach, but I can’t hear because my stomach is so empty. You feed us something and I have heard all that was preached and I will never forget!”   It was so fun listening to this dear Kenyan man who was so rejuvenated by a little bread and tea and testified how he ‘gets it’ in terms of Jesus the ‘Bread of Life’.
   Thank you for caring about the poor and needy in East Africa!

We are eagerly anticipating the construction completion of the Ntenjeru vocational school this fall. Our goal is to have the school staffed, stocked and open to students next year. This school is rising from the ground thanks to generous donations from anonymous donors and the New Life Thrift store in Glenside, Pennsylvania, USA. Check back soon for updatesBritain.
