Perhaps you haven't had a chance to check out the whole blog yet. It's okay. Right now we are highlighting some of the special projects that you can assist with in a financial way. We know it is right after the holidays and things are tight, but possibly not so tight. Please pray about it.
There are two brothers listed on our special projects page, both attend secondary school. Here in Kenya, secondary school is not compulsory; so it costs money. But you can't go to a university without a secondary school certificate and passing the national exam that you take at the end of the four years, this is called the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE). There are 6 children in this family. An older brother has already completed secondary school, two younger sisters are attending secondary school through sponsorship, and the youngest brother is still in primary school (which is free). The boys' mom has no way of paying the school fees herself, as she has been unemployed for about a year and a half; just living day to day.
The cost of school fees will blow you away by how little it is. For each boy, the total year's fees are under $600. If you are feeling in your heart that this is one way that you can serve the Lord, please don't delay. The new school year opened yesterday and these two bright boys are not able to start because they do not have the money. Please check out the special projects tab for more information on these and other projects you can be a part of.
Hi Liz. it is exciting to see your faith and courage grown as you follow the call to serve in this way. I will be praying for those in the hospital especially. I visited some myself and know that seeing you come to sit alongside with refreshment and caring would be like seeing an angel from God. May Christ use this ministry to bring the abandoned to the Father receiving peace and hope as they await healing or death. As we know, most likely death, So thank you for being there for them. Love and gratitude. Judy
