Dear
Supporters,
Recently Michael visited
Covenant UMC (Ft Wayne, IN) and Mt Zion
UMC (Marietta, GA) and presented his personal
story about Life for Children Ministry. See
complete stories below.
Two Fresh Water Wells have
received final government approval to begin
drilling. This is truly a Blessing for the people
in these two areas. Clean, Fresh
Water.

2007 Summer Mission Tour to
Kenya . . . . Set to go
The 2007 Summer Mission
Tour with 16 youth and adults will depart on the
30th of July for two weeks in Kenya with a busy
schedule of Mission Work for Life for
Children Ministry. As earlier reported, a
Vacation Bible School with our 72 orphans and
many local kids will keep 7 of our team members
very busy (over 100 is expected). Another 4 to 5
Team Members will complete a Medical Assessment
of our orphans and their families, and another
group will start work on a much needed Community
Center to house current Bible Study groups,
dietary and hygiene training classes and future
programs for micro business / economic self
sufficiency. As you can see, this year's
Summer Mission Tour has ambitious objectives, to
say the least. But then we have always strived
for that which would be "doomed to failure, lest
God be in it" For your information, most
travel and lodging expenses will be born by each
Missionary, some will be born by the Ministry,
but much is needed from supporters like yourself
for material and supplies which will exceed
$14,000 overall. Can you help in any way as we
prepare to go into the field for this important
Mission Work??
Do you Hear The
Call to Help?
Please write or
call Michael if you are able to help.

LCM Presentation at
Covenant UMC, Ft Wayne, IN . . . . Thanks for your
Support.  Written by Michael
During my missionary training at The Mission
Society, I met Justin Grogg. He was my roommate
through to the commissioning day on the 10th
August 2005. As men full of faith and excitement
with the word of God, ready to reach the end of
the earth sharing the same, we looked to the
future, with no certainty how the lord was going
to use us. All we knew is that the Lord had
Called us and because he who is in us is greater
than he who is in the world, we knew he had
something for us for His Glory. Justin now
serves in Peru as a missionary with The Mission
Society and I'm serving in Kenya with Life
for Children Ministry.
Why Justin? He introduced
me to his home church Covenant UMC. On April 6 I
had a wonderful opportunity to visit through an
invitation from Senior Pastor Steve Conner and
Tim Alderdice. While I visited Covenant UMC I
stayed with Tim and his lovely family;
Christine, Alexandra and Charlie.
Pastor Steve Conner gave me
and opportunity to speak to his congregation
about our ministry and this was one of the best
moments I have ever had. Covenant UMC is such a
lovely and caring church. The church accepted to
stand with Life for Children Ministry in
prayer and needs of orphan of HIV/AIDS that we
care for in Kenya. We are Blessed to have your
support. In August Pastor Steve and
Tim will be traveling with us to Kenya on
LCM's short term Mission Trip. This is a
clear indicator that this church does not just
want to support us, but they are also ready to
reach the end of the earth with the Message of
God. After prayerful
consideration Covenant UMC has decided to
become an LCM Partner Church. God Bless
you. Pictured left to right:

Conner.

As LCM's Mission Team
travels to Kenya, please continue your prayers for
them. In the name of God they will be completing
tasks that will improve the lives of less
fortunate.
Your prayers give us strength.
With your help and God's Blessings, LCM
will continue to provide life saving assistance to
HIV / AIDS Orphans in Kisumu, Kenya and
surrounding areas.
May God Bless you and reward you with His Glory
for life everlasting. Peace.
In His Service,
Michael Agwanda, Missionary

On Sunday, June 24, Michael
told his personal story about Life for
Children Ministry to congregations in three
worship services at Mt Zion UMC. This church is
very involved with Outreach and Missions. This
summer they sent 3 mission teams to South
America for almost a month of combined work. A
number of their members stepped forward and made
commitments of both prayers and financial
support.
