Hi friends,
This is just a quick update to let you know about the missions needs in Kenya and to ask for prayers.
Livingstone's crutches broke and needed to to be replaced. Jonah purchased some in Nakuru and shipped them to Kericho Town. This was an unforeseen expense but the crutches have gone through a lot of use as they have been used by two other patients we have helped. Cost for crutches and delivery was about $67 Canadian. I am not quite sure when he will go for followup and that always requires x-rays and usually plaster is redone. Please pray his bones will heal.
Rose, the older lady who is with child was discharged to home for recovery from Covid. To date we have spent about $400 Canadian on her medications but she is not doing well. At the moment she needs oxygen support and we are trying to provide that. Cost for one tank is usually around $50. Canadian. There are oxygen shortages in Kenya right now so that is a bit concerning but we are trying to get oxygen to her. Update: As of Monday evening Kenyan time, Rose was transported to hospital in Kericho. She was trying to get to the mission hospital in Tenwek but couldn't make it that far as her situation has deteriorated. We will do our best to help her.
Right now at home, we have a lot of wild fires burning and a number of them are not under control. One entire village burned to the ground and 2 people along with it. Firefighters have joined us from several provinces and today more firefighters arrived from Mexico.
Update: If anyone wishes to donate to the Kenyan missions, I've now created a direct link to Pay Pal for that purpose. I've also updated the blog page and references. Hopefully this will resolve any sending issues. Here is the new link

Sending prayers! I hope the wildfires can be contained and everyone is safe.
Take care, have a great new week!
Praying for your friends in Kenya and the financial needs especially to be met. And also praying regarding the wildfires. May the Lord send rain to put out the fires and protect all those in harm's way. That is so very sad. I am sorry your region is suffering with so many fires. Truly praying for you and your safety as well.
Penny, I tried to use the two donation pages I found, but did not succeed. Do they need updated?
Thanks so much, Eileen!
Thank you my dear. We definitely all need prayers. God bless.
Hi Joanne, you can now use this direct link rather than my email

Many thanks!
Prayers, of course, for both the mission and the wildfires. Our climate is not helping and I hope they'll be able to control them soon. That photo of the silhouetted leaves against the sky is stunning.
Thank you Jeanie for all kind comments and especially the prayers.
A happy ending quote. Love it.
Thank you Sharon.
