Kenya is praying for rain. Everywhere you go people talk of rain and wonder if it will come this year. We have been to several places where no rain has fallen at all for the past few years. At a recent meeting a pastor told us that in his region of Kenya, the children who are 5 years old or younger have no idea what rain is! In some places the crops haven't grown in several years. Last week Bryan visited a community near Machakos, and he met a widow lady who has 6 children, 3 sets of twins! She was caring for her elderly father in-law. Both of his wives had died of aids. He was so weak and frail that he couldn't sit up to talk or even raise his arms to greet them. Their farm was bare and not even weeds were growing. Bryan and his team gave them food and prayed with them that God would sustain them and bring rain. A few days later we received a report that the old man had eaten the food and felt refreshed. He was sitting up and talking to his grand kids. We are thankful for the food that was donated and the impact it had on this family. We plan to follow up in that area next week with additional food and other needed items.
