I talked with Annastacia last Saturday and she told me all the 
crops that had been planted when we left (end of October) are now dead. The rains came for a very short time, not enough time for the crops to grow and once the rains stopped the crops began drying up and dying. Our friends, Pauline and Gideon (from Nice View Academy), traveled to the central province and saw the devastation everywhere. Even in the wettest areas of the country they saw only dry ground.
The country of Kenya is heading into a famine period (see our Newsletter for details). The price of food is increasing, crops are drying up and opportunities for work are still dismal. Please pray for God’s intervention and provision of rain.
Any help you can give would help us provide food for the three orphanages (Nice View, Mercy and Eldama Ravine) for the coming months. Please prayerfully consider how you can help during this crisis in Kenya. Thank you for your love, prayer and support and may you have a very blessed Christmas.
This is devastating. I wonder what is going to happen with the supply of food to these orphanages, and what about the rest of Kenya, and for how long? This truly is a time maybe for some of us Americans to give up some of our choices (like cable channels or favorite morning beverage) to increase the choices of others (like those in Kenya who are deciding whether or not to eat today). Lord, let Justice reign!
