Directly from Kenya, news on WID-funded farming initiative…
|
Dear Brother Steve,
Receive my New Year greetings in Jesus name. I hope this is a blessed, New Year with full of love and grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Concerning the brother whom the Word In Deed Ministry supported with $1000, he did some farming on maize and harvested towards the end of last year. There was some drought im my country last year, especially in the region where his farm is located. However, he was able to harvest enough sacks worth about Ksh120,000 ( $1400). From the investment of 75,000 Kenya Shillings ($1000) that was a reasonable reap but not maximum. Our agreement with him was that he should divide half of the profit he makes and offer it directly to Cana Children’s Home in form of cash or grains. The profit he made in this case was $500 dollars and he gave $250 to Cana Children’s Home during the Christmas season. It was a blessing for them during Christmas season.
The rest of the income is to be put back into more farming this year. Our request to you was that you may support us to fund about 10 more farmers with the same amount each so that they can be in a position to support Cana Children’s Home better. We had even identified the farmers and the location of farming in Western(Kitale) Kenya region which has enough rainfall all year round. Planting season is normally between February and April. May the Lord’s peace remain with you.
