Good Morning Everyone!

Well, well, you’re not still sleeping are you? =) I know that it is around midnight there in the States. By the way, January 3rd was my one year anniversary of living in Kenya!

Yesterday we passed out food to our families in our Church. The word is that there is food in that area, but the prices have gone so high they can not afford to buy food. On Saturday I went with Mrs. Novak and bought 100 1kg bags of rice, 108 (because of how they were bundled) 2kg bags of maize (corn) meal, and 100 500g of cooking fat. You should have seen the vehicle when we got it all loaded. That is one pic I did not get to take.

Sunday I started a new series in junior church titled “Living God’s Way”. Yesterday’s lesson was Anger vs. Self-control. The children seemed to really listen to what God’s Word had to say about having self-control and forgiving others that have wronged you. My prayer is that they take it home with them and put it to practice.

After church the Novaks distributed the food stuff to the adults. When they were finished I dismissed the children from junior church. Then the real fun started! =) There are several families were the children come to church, but not the parents. We wanted them to have food as well. So we began trying to sort them and get them in their family groups. My heart was overwhelming with happiness as I got to help hand out the food to the children and to see their faces. No one knew we were going to do this.

Continue to pray for Kenya. On the news last night they told us that there are over 300,000 people that have been misplaced from their homes.
