Dear Supporters,

As I depart for five weeks in Kenya, I again want to thank my many friends and donors for their prayers and financial assistance. Your support for the Life For Children Ministry has enabled us to accept ten more orphans, bringing our count to 70 by mid summer. May God Bless you.

Just below I have listed some of my tasks while I am in Kenya. I will be very busy. Pray for me as I pray for you.

  • Review operation with LCM staff and personnel
  • Advise Kenyan Board members of our progress in States
  • Visit our communities, orphans and guardian families
  • Develop final plans for the Mission Tour in early August 2007
  • Complete preliminary plans and engage technical services necessary to complete our first Fresh Water Wells
  • Welcome our new missionary, Julie Campbell and assist her in purchasing a vehicle and getting situated
  • Investigate and possibly purchase land for proposed Fellowship Hall
  • Continue discussions with local Osani Clinic personnel to establish a long term working relationship.
