Items of need:
Now we need to focus on raising the 6.5 million shillings needed to be paid
by 31 December to get the land clear. Thus far, since May, we have raised
nearly $40,000.00 and a pastor in Canada is matching us with $1.00 to every
$2.00 we raise by 3 September. (The deadline had been 31 July and he
graciously extended that deadline to 3 September. Praise the Lord !!)
So 60 of the 95 thousand needed is there. Anyone wishing to donate to this
property can send donations to East African Ministry, 1401. S, Mt. Vernon
Ave. Colton, CA 92324 earmark your donation for Kenya property.
The Lord promised that we would be
established in Kenya and that it would come about miraculously. The miracle
has began, we were able to obtain the property for 7.5 million ($115,000)
and continued when we were given this year of 2006 to raise the money.
The miracle continues each week when churches and individuals give
sacrificially for the establishing of the work in Kenya The future of Kenya
is in our hands and the key is training pastors for the furtherance of the
gospel to those he has called out of darkness in His light.
