“Greetings from Kenya. We hope the Christmas and the New Years season was good to you and your families.

We have had many challenges, but even more opportunities, and we feel that we are under the Lord’s protection. We are very excited to get these next ministry steps right. Our Base Build, Street BoyZ, elder care, agriculture/animal projects will be our main focus. We are happy to share fruits of your financial giving, prayers, and personal support. Lives are being changed and their futures are being set looking towards Jesus. The students have joined in Bible study and prayer. The relationships are growing and they are seeing what a tangible relationship with Jesus looks like.”

Prayer Requests:

“Here are some of the fruits & needs;

• Allan – living on his land, farming and also attending school for masonry/agricultural studies. Sponsored 100% by Robins Nest!!
• Martha – graduated and waiting to go to school. She would like to study business and sewing. To be updated (TBU) on grant.

• *NEW* Elder care – $20 month sponsored. We bring food and medical care to the elderly widows and abandoned vulnerable aged. We also assess their homes for repairs. If needed we send special requests.
• Base Build – we have purchased some land. We are raising funds to build. The cost of the build is $25,949. (This includes: our home, security wall, KidZ Community Center, transition house, chicken, goat, and cow enclosure).

Agriculture projects:

The Wafula family is now self sustaining in maize and beans. They would like to add a new beehive to supplement their income with honey. The cost is $45.

The Wekesa family was a new half plant. The insects hit hard so they will be using a higher concentration of rabbit urine and cinnamon to combat the bugs this year. We hope for them to be able to have enough seed for April’s new planting season coming soon. The goats Gracie and Bumper are now residing here. TBU

We want to thank you for supporting, and praying for us and standing along side of all of us here in Kenya.

May the Lord keep you and bless you.”
