Greetings from Wamba this Sunday morning. God is good. All the time.
We have many trials and challenges but he is able to save to the uttermost those who put their trust in him.
Wamba is sunny and cloudy this am with a beautiful cool breeze making the climate here just North of the Equator very pleasant. The site is quite green with the hedge and trees doing so well after the rains even though it is one month since they stopped.
The children here are looking healthy and Nzau, Esther and Margaret have participated in a miracle as they have been transformed. Omar was discharged from hospital on Friday looking very well. Thank you for your prayers. Loseku and Sube remain hoping for a discharge in this coming week as they continue to improve. Continue in prayer for them. We have a stretching hospital bill to settle for the last 6 months as the hospital were unable to give us a bill when we were here earlier in the year as their computer was not functioning properly. We paid 10,000 (£90) on account last month. We arrived at Ngaremara on Friday mid day and spent the rest of Fri and Sat am settling in and listening to the management staff to sort priorities in our minds. A lot can happen in just less than 3 months since we were here. Saturday afternoon I left Pamela and Henrietta sorting out the things we had brought out and the house and kitchen. I was on my way to Isiolo to buy items required to finish the new children's home and get the children moved in asap.
The home looks fantastic. The builder has done well. We want to paint the floors and give the varnish and paint on the walls a third coat, make some shelves and cupboards and then move the children in within two weeks - by next weekend.
The children at Ngaremara are well and healthy and a joy to be with.
On Sunday last we joined them for fellowship and after siesta visited the secondary school at Aukot (3kms) to show Henrietta where she would be teaching. We learnt the staff and pupils where on half term until Tue.
Henrietta quickly settled into a routine during the week teaching in the mornings, spending time with the children arriving for the feeding programme in the afternoon, bringing a short word at fellowship at 6.30pm and after dinner helping individual children with homework and studies. She has been excellent and has both contributed and received a lot.
Pamela dealt with all the house keeping issues, the trainees and requests from people coming to see us. On Wed Esther one of the trainees had a narrow escape when a snake met her in the shower block. We had some excitement flushing it out from some stones with hot water and then petrol before we were able to finish it. The builder has since completed the paths to prevent snakes hiding.
On Sunday we had fellowship with the children at Wamba. Henrrietta brought an appropriate message and Pamela led the children in prayer for Nzau, Esther and Margeret, the two in hospital and the Kindfund family in the UK and Ireland.
We returned to Ngaremara leaving at 12.30 and arriving at 2pm. What a difference the road has made. On return we received the local councillor in Ngare and showed him around what we are doing and talked about our plans.
Another beautiful night sitting in the moon light but by 10pm the wind began to feel chilly. July in Ngaremara has arrived early.
Greetings from Ken, Pamela and Henrietta
