Nets, Bikes, and Water

As I mentioned in my previous blog, malaria is a major problem on the African Continent. Every 30 seconds a child in Africa dies of Malaria. Our desire is to meet physical as well as spiritual needs. During our mission trip in December, we will provide mosquito nets (like the one below) to families in western Kenya. Another one of our goals is to help with the economic situation in the villages by purchasing as much as possible in the country. Please contact me if you are interested in contributing to this project. We will be able to purchase treated nets in Kenya for about $10.00 per net.

We also plan to provide bicycles for pastors serving in the western region. Most pastors have to travel long distances by foot. The photograph below is of pastors in the Nairobi area receiveing new bicycles. This project was sponsored by the Ruiru Baptist Church where Samson Kisia is the pastor. We have worked with Samson for about 8 years. Please contact me if you would like more information about providing bicycles for pastors.

I also wanted to give a report on the Kenya water project. The picture below shows the pump house which houses the well and the assembly of a storage tank system. The plan is to also pump water to different areas. God blessed us with the opportunity to provide much needed clean drinking water. The final picture shows how desperately the well was needed.
