3:5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency [is] of God; Hello,
Farming is going on right now, all the farms have been made ready for another planting season. The rains are starting again and we are praying that we get enough as we have had a dry season. This weather for us is sometimes what we call winter & it is extremely cold right now. We are trying as much as we can to reach more people to help them in in farming by buying seeds and fertilizer so they can plant crops and harvest them for food. We still have to the middle of April to reach more farmers with the seeds and fertilizers they need. We are trying to do this because we cannot distribute food again to them next year. We want them to have enough for their families and even some left over to sell so that they can pay for their basic needs like other foods (sugar, flour, greens, oil), school tuition, candles, etc. With the famine in the land we really need outside help from mighty men and women of faith. If you can help at all please let contact our North American patron, Joyful Servant, Penny. We would be so blessed to hear from you.
Otherwise we are grateful to God for the rain. The famine here has been covering the whole country and so we are blessed by God with rain so that Kericho could continue to plant and harvest if we have seeds and fertilizer. No matter how much land we may have, we can do nothing unless God provides the seeds and the fertilizer, the fertile grounds, the rains to water the soil, the sun to nourish and grow the seeds and the labour to bring in the harvest when it is ready. We are relying on God for all our blessings.
God Bless
Pastor Jonah Update Note: In communication with Pastor Jonah today, March 20,2009, I learned that some of the families helped earlier this week take care of orphans and some do not. Nevertheless, these people had needs more than they could bear so Pastor Jonah and BrotherThomas stepped in to help.
