Many of you have given to our Kenya Relief Fund in response to the unrest and violence that has plagued Kenya these last few weeks. I have heard violence described there as “reason, no longer rules” and some described the slums “as a terrifying place at the best of times…this is the worst of times.”
In Kibera we work with 3 local pastors. It is to these Pastors that we have sent the Relief Money we have received. These local pastors will receive food vouchers to a local grocery store now open. This grocery is huge and has everything from food, gas, water, and blankets. The pastors will hand out the vouchers to their congregation. What an amazing way to let them know that they are not alone and that we are fighting battles not only by giving financially, but in prayer for them.
Thanks again for your gifts. Love abounds. Amy Carmichael, a famous missionary once said, “Suffering, hunger, poverty, baffling circumstance cannot of themselves make anything but confusion. But if there be the touch of the Hand, all these things work together for the good, not for ill, not for discord, but for something like the harmony of music.”
Your gifts are very much appreciated. And they have helped much. Yet, there is still more to be done. The more we give; the more families we can reach.
