FACT - we have 37 children in the sponsorship program of Neighbors Outreach Worldwide. Fact - Len and I serve God and as such, had to give up our jobs in the US to do what He has asked of us. Fact- we focus on widows and orphans living in poverty in Kenya. Fact - we provide bible studies for a wide age range of people in our community. Fact - the vocational training center will open mid to late 2015. Fact - God provided all of these opportunities.
FACT - out of sight out of mind - so when I am in Africa, y'all might forget about me.... can't have that
FACT - in order to do all of this, it takes money. While we do our best to be proper stewards of each and every dime we receive, there is always a need.
FACT - I detest asking anyone for money, talking about money. The only thing I like about money is counting it ( goes back to my old bank teller days.) So when you see me while I am here in the US the last thing I want to do is ask for money. But it is necessary.
FACT - without the help of our friends and family, this ministry will wither away. And so I thank God for each and every one of you every single day.
FACT - though I like to, I am not always able to write a note of thanks to everyone. I send quick emails from time to time ( our closest friends understand they won't be getting a note every time they donate) and then I try to write. There are days however, when all my plans fall apart and you may not see a thank you for weeks, even months. What I want to remind you of is that your reward ( or thank you note) is not on earth , but in heaven. And if you do not get a thank you for me it's because my head and my heart are already on to the next need of our children or the community in Githioro.
What I want each and everyone to know is that I pray you will all give. All of my pleas by email or facebook are not for me, it's for the ministry and our desire to help those who need it most.
Just a few thoughts....
