Flooding causes significant damage to school in Garissa

We have once again experienced serious flood that has left quite some destruction in our school. Please, do pray that God intervenes as we seek his face on how to do reconstruction. Below are some photos that capture what happened on Wednesday.
Blessings

Ken's update for APRIL 2008




















Head man” Salad making mud for the wall. I was glad that the community was involved in this. All I needed to do was to mobilize them and provide iron sheets, timber and nails

PRAISE ITEMS

Eunice did organize a successful prayer seminar last Saturday. We had people from all the churches attend. The hall was packed with people who are hungry to seek the face of the Lord on behalf of “M”.

I ministered at garissa medical college last Saturday. I was talking about “overcoming discouragement” and many indicated that they were blessed by the message---to God be the glory.

Thank God that the community has given us 30 acres of land for high school. This was done through full council approval.

Thank God for Tim’s good performance in school—he was 2nd best student in his class (just one point behind the best student). Ann is in nursery and they don’t get positions. Mary (our niece) whom we stay with was also position two in her class.


PRAYER ITEM

Pray for a very influential “M” who has challenged me for a discussion on both the Bible and the quran. Pray that I will not just win the argument but the soul.

Pray for “M” girl called “F” in our school who has a desire to know the truth. She has gone through painful experiences and is currently getting closer to the truth as a result of us being available to her in her time of need. She has requested for a bible—pray that she will have revelation as she reads it.

Pray for Land documents that we are currently pursuing with the government officers. We intend to start high school after getting these vital documents.

Our School is closing today and opening early may—pray for safety and protection of both teachers and students.

Pray that all our staff will have a burden to consistently share there faith with “M”. Pray against fear that holds people back

Pray for our Jesus film team that will be going for mission in Mwingi—many people to know the Lord.

Read Colossians 3:1-4.

The Lord richly bless you
