Please be praying for the people and presence of Life for Children Ministry ((LCW…the “w” stands for “Welfare” which sometimes substitutes the word “Ministry;” it threw me off at first too)). But this past week has been a little rough on the home front. Here is what’s been going on:
First, the missionary, Julie, who is stationed at Homa Bay, heading the branch LCW has in the rural areas, was basically stolen from by the guy who is in charge of her internet access. She has been giving him checks which he is then supposed to take to the internet provider, but unfortunately, he seems to have found a better use for the money, and her bills have therefore, gone unpaid. So she was sorting that out with the authorities this past week, and during her stay her vehicle broke down and needed repairs. She ended up staying here in town for about a week because of it, and additionally, she now has a fractured ankle because she mis-stepped and took a tumble over the weekend. Well, her vehicle messing up sent off a chain reaction because now the motorbike isn’t starting, and the other vehicle we take to the field, the truck, broke down. Needless to say, we have been without vehicles and therefore are unable to go into the field. This is bad news on a lot of different levels.
And if that isn’t enough, Peter is coming down with a sore throat, Mary is so sick with a cold she has had to stay home, Prisca has been sick for two weeks and is going for a typhoid test tomorrow, and Caro ((a new volunteer who is a local Kenyan just finishing college)) found out today that her college has been shut down, making her certificate, research, and degree void of any value ((basically they told her today she has to go back and do everything again- classes, examinations, school fees, EVERYTHING!!!)) Robert is trying to finish additional schooling as well, and his load has gotten really heavy, with examinations coming up and it being time for him to start paying off one of his loans. Basically, I am currently the only fully functioning member in the office, and I am pretty much useless!!! We need some prayers, and we need them badly. Please pray and petition for us; “be anxious about nothing, but instead in everything through prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to the Lord.”
Thank you Lord that what you have in mind is going to be better than anything we could want or ask for, and please Lord BE EVER PRESENT within our midst.
We need you to petition for us!!! Peace!
