Gideon sent the following picture (Nice View Academy’s food storage) and email to Chuck on October 20th.
Dear brother Chuck,
The Lord is good and loves His people without measure
I am happy to tell you that the rains eventually came and we have received so far some heavy rains.We are gratiful to God for hearing our prayers and for remembering us with the rains.We have planted and now waiting for the seeds to germinate (Unfortunately as of today the rains have stopped, pray there was enough for the seeds to grow)
Brother ! thank you for packing the store with food again.I bought enough to last until December . (meaning through November)
Brother i made sure i bought enough food to last and some items like the sugar and maize might go up to January (meaning through December 2009) next year.So may God bless all the donors who contributed towards the food.Tell them that i am most grateful to them for assisting me to feed the needy children
I have some balance and if you allow me i can use it in buying vegetables which cannot be bought at once to store
I forgot to include milk in the list of the items i had bought for Mercy (Mercy Child Foundation) which i sent to you in the previous letter and so you can include that
Once again thanks for your tremedous support na Bwana akubariki sana! (and God Bless you very much)
Greetings from the children and teachers
Say hey to your family
Brother Gideon
