Life here is very..."missionary-like" for lack of a better term. We have no electricity or running water. We take baths out of the same basin we wash our clothes in (by hand), and we squat to poop in a hole. To make tea in the morning we have to chop wood to burn, as well as every other meal we make. At night, we sing praises, pray, eat, and do homework to the light of a propane lantern.

Currently the situation is kind of difficult. AMCC has no bank account and therefore no money. Our food is scheduled to run out in 3 days, and the propane lantern just ran out of propane, which means we can hardly see past 6:45 at night.




The money that Mark and I have set aside for an income generating project is now in jeopardy of being spent to pay for current dept and next months food expenses. If we do this, the children will be able to eat for a month or so, but then we'll be back to square 1. Mark and I have been praying for wisdom and guideance on what to do. Please join us!










(There's coal in that thing!)

When we asked John and Nancy how they had been sustained in the past,

they told us many stories of people, companies and churches donating at different times and random blessings of money throughout the last three years. "The Lord will provide. He always has." said John. Wow! These people have been doing this for three years without any continuous income!

(We got them their first soccer ball ever!)


The Lord is good! And he is faithful! We'll be meeting with a man who is working for Bidco, an oil industry who gives food donations to children's homes. Please pray that this meeting goes well and that AMCC would be accepted into their program. We think this would give us enough time to invest in some projects that would help keep AMCC up and going.

(The kids worshiping Kenyan style!)


Also, last week two men were lynched in Thika (where i am now) because of political unrest. There is a group of people who are called Mungiki that are resisting government corruption. Kind of a crazy story but CNN can tell you more about that. AMCC is about a 30min bus ride from here so we're fairly safe out there. Nonetheless, Kenya as a nation and it's political leaders can definitly use prayer as well.

John, Nancy, and the children send their greetings to all of you and are praying for all of their "brothers and sisters in America".

I'll write again in about a week. May the grace and peace of God be with you! Till then...
