Pastor John Returns from Sudan


Pastor John just returned from another trip to the village in southern Sudan. He reports that militia came to the village again recently. They took children and harmed children that refused to go. Here is a direct quote from Pastor John. "The militia group are abducting children and take to be sold. If a child refuses to go with them they remove teeth, or chop off one ear or eye from that child and leave him that way. It is bad." The men are disarmed and the houses are burned. Please pray we can bring more children to Kenya to be cared for by Pastor John.

Houses for the Sudanese children


The men of Pastor John's church started making bricks the first few days of 2010. The bricks are made from the clay on the church property and water from the well also located on the property. As soon as they form 30,000 bricks the first home for 15 children will take shape.
Pray it doesn't rain so much it ruins the bricks.

Pastor Thomas has twins!!


Sunday, Jan 31st Pastor Thomas and his wife, Hellen, were blessed with twins. Aaron and Debra

came forth very healthy and strong. They are now home enjoying the love and care of the family.
