Jesus LOVES the Little Ones


             This image of eyes on top of the buildings in Kibera, reminds me of the scripture:
      "For the eyes of the LORD move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those whose         heart is completely His."


                                Prayer is an important part of each and every day!

Each Friday, the children assemble outside to declare their praise to God! They recite scripture, they sing, they pray...it is a wonderful way to start the day at Miracle Victory Children's Centre!
Teacher Melvin leads them during this particular Friday.
Here are a few of the precious children impacted by you and your generosity! The reason we do what we do- LOVE these kiddos!!

They are loved and nurtured by our staff of teachers.

We have spoken before about the tapestry that the Lord is weaving between lives, people and different ministry groups. I am in awe of God and it is a joy to serve Him and watch things unfold. I still can't see the entire masterpiece or understand just how this whole thing will come together- but God is faithful, He is good and I can put all my trust in Him. He loves these children more than I do, He is the Giver of life and the Creator of everything! He wants them to experience His great and perfect love.

Baobab trees were pretty cool, they make an interesting candy from the seeds.
the dry fruit pulp is covered in colored sugar and sold as a sweet and sour candy called “umbuyu”, we picked some up in Fort Jesus in Mombasa

learn more about the candy



Day one, this trip-
it makes it very hard to leave, love is a beautiful thing!

Prayer needs:

Monthly needs for the school (food,salaries, rent, utilities, supplies)
Provision for the teachers, their families, their health (little Janet has had a lung infection)

; creative ideas and ability to work with what materials they have
Children's health, spiritual growth, educational and recreational needs to be met
Monica's health and health of her family, spiritual growth of children and desire to 

become involved in the kingdom of God, guidance and wisdom for Monica
New school building project, money to undertake the project, people to have a 
vision 
and desire to help, that is will bring glory to God
Potential new partners to support the school, that the Lord will give discernment and clear direction
Speaking engagements in November, to wisely use the time and clearly express needs

Praising God for:

the 2nd estimate for the school- it was clear, well organized and less than 1/2 the original estimate!!
Several contacts since returning to the US, wanting to be involved!
Improved health for the students!
God's goodness and faithfulness at all times  <3



Donations joyfully accepted!
