KENYA POST-ELECTION REPORT: 202 KAG churches have been destroyed and over 400 pastors displaced34 people from The Rift Valley found sanctuary at the church in Nyeri. In the book of Acts, the 1st Century Christians suffered great persecution. THE RESULT: The church grew by astonishing proportions! The night the first 19 arrived at the church we met them in the church orphanage where the Kenya Kids were preparing dinner for them.
That was a touching scene to say the least. Since then three pastors
and their families have found sanctuary.
The families spent the first few weeks sleeping in the church Sunday School rooms on foam pads. These rooms are very rustic: tin roof, dirt floor, no running water, but quite an improvement from the forest.
One of the women from Eldoret gave birth only 4 days before her home was burned and she had to run for her life carrying the baby. Pastor Margaret made sure the new born baby boy and the mother received medical checkups and we are thankful to report they are both fine.
There are several school aged children in the group who are being interviewed for class placement because their records were burned
in the fires. They should be able to start attending their new schools soon.
During the day the displaced men from Eldoret volunteered their time to help the work at the Chaka High School site. Daniel Njuguna said, "We have been so glad to help clear the ground for the High School construction site. The work has helped us stay busy so we don't sit around thinking about all we have lost ."
Those of your who have made contributions to help the victims, please know your assistance has been a tremendous help.
Until these families are established we will continue to receive funds for their basic needs. Your tax deductible donations can be made to:

REPORT: CHAKA HIGH SCHOOL WELL PHENOMENON
We were praying to hit a GREAT River and that is exactly what happened at
180 meters! The output report says that we can pump 1100 gallons per hour
and the flow is inexhaustible! The tester said it is quite a phenomenon and we must have tapped into an underground river flowing from Mount Kenya!
When God wants to get a job done He does it in a great way!!! After hitting water we experienced difficulty with the well casing placement. The pipe became wedged at 120 meters with 60 remaining meters and after many attempts it looked like the well may need to be abandoned! We increased our prayer efforts, and GLORY TO GOD, after the Tuesday night prayer meeting as we were walking out of the church we received a call that the casing had miraculously dislodged and was now installed the entire 180 meters (600 feet). The Chaka area is arid and the only source of water has been a small creek anda contaminated pond. People living around the area are now coming to get fresh water from this new well! PRAISE GOD! Now, it is time to plant a church in Chaka and begin supplying the LIVING WATER! Our next step is to raise the funds for the power supply, pump and the storage tanks. Thank you for your prayers. Without water this school project could not go on!

REPORT: RESTORATION AT MOI UNIVERSITY ELDORET
Moi University is the largest university in East Africa. Jesus Frees Ministries made a trip to Eldoret to minister with Pastor Wachira during
the December 16th Sunday Morning service of the Christian Union. There were 1,800 students in attendance. We were able to encourage the students and then Pastor Wachira delivered a POWERFUL RESTORATION message on "Samson's Second Chance". At the end of the message it was a beautiful time of recommitment, restoration and first time salvations as over 100 students came forward. We were later informed that the school has never seen this type of powerful response. Praise God! We had no way of knowing that just 14 days later the area would erupt into violence and death. We also have no way of knowing if some of casualties found heaven because of that "Restoration Service!" GOD KNOWS - OURS IS JUST TO KEEP SERVING. |
