Christmas cow providing milk for Kenyan orphans!

Children enjoy caring for cow!

Children enjoy caring for cow!

 

In late October, Word in Deed received a request for funding from our Kenyan pastor who is working closely with a small farmer to provide food for local orphans.  Several months before, we purchased chickens for this farmer, with the idea that some of the eggs would be used in the orphanage.  The chicken business is flourishing, and WID launched a “Cow for Christmas” fundraiser so our Kenyan brother could sell and donate milk for the orphanage as well.  The fundraiser was a huge success, exceeding what we asked for, thanks to our faithful supporters who responded generously through emails, personal letters, our website and Facebook.  Below you will find the original request from Pastor Alfred, as well as a photo of the cow now residing in Kitale, Kenya!

Fresh milk!

Fresh milk!

Hello Beloved Brother Steve,

Much greetings from us in the mighty name of our Lord Jesus Christ. We are so happy to hear from you and sister Sharon. My wife Joan is in plenty happyness to hear sister Sharon writing to us in Kenya Kitale. Actually her heart loves us so much  and we are praying for her that the Lord uses her to save souls and assist the poor for the everlasting kingdom.
Our dairy budget is as follows:

1. One dairy animal that produces 16 liters of milk per day is 65,000 ksh
2.  A well-constructed shelter for the animal  will cost 30,000 ksh
3.  Drugs and some food  will cost  25,000ksh

 Total cost of the budget is 115,000 ksh. In US dollars it is almost 1150 US  dollars.

Thank you brother Demoss and sister Sharon for your heart of helping the poor, because this is spreading the gospel and saving the souls for Christ. Actually I will remain faithful until Jesus comes, but keep praying for me over this and God will uplift and encourage me in all that I do for him. This dairy project will really improve the lives of our children and the community as a whole, because we shall be selling the milk as an income and food for the church and the children. This project will act as sustainabilty for income.

Thank you and may the Lord bless you abundantly, and hope to hear from you again.

Pastor Alfred
