if donor's can give matching amount by April 30th.

Please Help the Rev. Makokha Family
Because of openly declaring his views, as he did on the April 3rd TV talk show recording in Kenya, Rev. Makokha's denomination has withheld funds for more than two years now.  Other Sheep has found a donor who will give $170.00 per month towards his $340.00 monthly rent IF matching donors are found.

In addition to no denominational funds for rent:  Rev. and Mrs. Makokha's four daughters lack funds to pay for fees related to their education.  Their youngest daughter, Lavender is class 4 at St. Hannah's Preparatory school (primary).  Next youngest, Louiza is in class 8 and will be joining Form 1 (high school) in January 2009.  Wilner, the second oldest daughter, is in Form 3 in The Kenya high school.  Their oldest daughter is graduated from high school and plans to attend Daystar University for a course in community development in August 2008.  If you would like to especially help with their educational fees, please contact Other Sheep.
For more information on education costs of children:  see email from Rev. Makokha.
