Getting outside of trainings and out into the villages is always a joy! Last week we spent some time checking on the progress of various projects in a couple of counties over in Western Kenya. It was such a great opportunity to get to meet some of the people who are being reached, hear about their Discovery Bible Study groups and house churches and especially to learn about what’s actually happening in their lives. It’s all very exciting to see what God is doing.
A picture’s worth a thousand words…right? Check out some of the things going on:
Inside Karen and Samson’s hut is a list of DBS’s, house churches, leaders and unreached areas they pray for each day.
Just one page from the planning meeting with the Kenya team. Their vision, their mission, celebrations for the last six months and some of their challenges.
This humble, elderly man and his wife and some of their grandkids pray with others for the movement in Kenya.
Some of the leaders of the strong women’s movement in Western Kenya. You guys have helped them start businesses for making and selling soap, farming vegetables, chicken farming, making and selling mandazi (donuts) and samosas. Giving them farming skills and a borehole has made much of this possible.
Life in the village
Receiving another chicken to add to my little flock I’ve collected over the years.
Borehole dug by a pulley system dropping a man inch by inch as he manually digs out the well inch by inch til he reaches water.
A finished borehole. People use a jerry can and a rope to get water.
These boys are kindly filling jerry cans of the neighbors who will then carry the water to their homes.
Amina, a widow with 10 children, who lives with her mother-in-law. They are Muslims who have been reached and now have a house church with other women in their home.
This is just one of the flourishing farming projects. Groups of house churches work together to produce vegetables for their families and for selling at the market.
Children are “off school” right now as their school year has ended, so bored, they were all too happy to pose for us!
