You will be bombarded with photos this post…sorry, not sorry!
God worked wonders through your generous donations this Christmas holiday and many were blessed by it, I pray you were as well (or will be after seeing what’s been happening).

The food distribution, for a special Christmas meal, was a huge success, thank you.
Unfortunately, with such great need, some had to leave with nothing to take home.
Ben (our partner on the ground in Kenya) tells us:
Today we were able to give a few in another community, some missed the unga (flour) and the pain was evident.
The boy was extremely happy today knowing that this Christmas they will have plenty of Chapatis in their house and won’t be begging other kids.
This woman was about to be kicked out of her home but Saved By God’s Grace paid her past rent and helped with her future rent. Ben says, “the smile tells it all…Glory to Jesus.”
Gifts for Ben!
I (Ben) was able to help Ashley, a widow. Her biggest headache had been house arrears and rent. Food is also a big challenge…they go empty most of the days ..they even don’t know what they will be eating this Christmas…but they are very grateful that we helpers them with house rent and arrears. My prayer is that sometime next year we consider helping them if the Lord provides. They sleep on the plastic carpet which makes the kids sick more often. The big kid hasn’t started school because the mother can’t raise the Ksh 2000 needed. They say everyone seems to have abandoned them…
The kids brighten up today… thanks for giving them great hope. Glory to our heavenly father.
Smiles for new beds for Christmas!
Mitchell (the girl in the photo) says, “I want to drink Fanta orange soda this Christmas….it will make me and my brothers happy“
This is part of what i (Ben) have been doing. This is Rose, a mother of three kids. Mitchell is the little girl seated next to her and her first born child. Mitchell seems traumatised by her bedridden mom’s condition and she is the one who has to go looking for food and basics in a world where no one seems to care.
And by the way, they got Fanta for Christmas, along with other, substantial, assistance.
This little girl was so happy to receive unga (flour) for Christmas. This means they could make chapati, a very special treat, for the family on Christmas.
This young girl was excited to receive a new bed for Christmas!
We are in agreement with this lady’s sentiment…THANK YOU!
The whole village is happy and talking about God’s visiting this family that had already been written off. They say there was no way the family would build a house etc. This indeed was a very needy family…here is their pit latrine that also doubles as a bathing point…
One happy little girl because of your assistance this Christmas!
Praise God for the blessings He has bestowed on us all….the birth of our Savior that we just celebrated (and really, shouldn’t we celebrate that all year long!?) By your generous support many families were given food and shelter AND the love of God was shared to all involved.
It seems the need keeps increasing but I know and trust God to move those He wants to be involved with this ministry to Kenya. Please consider becoming a monthly donor by visiting our Donate page today.
God Bless and have a very Happy New Year!
