Dear Supporters,

As our families gather to celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas there are many orphans in Kenya who still live in fear and desperation each day. They and their siblings have no safe place to sleep at night. They must search for food and clean water everyday. We celebrate the miracle of Christ's coming while their lives are torn by poverty, malnutrition and disease.

LCM is addressing their needs and currently assisting almost 100 orphans in living healthier lives. LCM is bringing Christ to them each day by the examples of what we do and the gifts you provide. Their lives are so much better. You can see the improvement by comparing a photo of a child coming into the program and then a photo of the same child after six months. They are much healthier, much happier. Many more smiles. You have helped make this change. God Bless You.

Recently, a great Holiday Gift suggestion came to us from a loyal supporter. Her family wanted to make a donation to LCM in the name of the person and wanted to know if we had any Gift Cards. Great Idea! We do now. Send a LCM Gift Card to people you normally give a gift. We will provide the Gift Cards stating that you made a donation gift in their name. This 3"x 5" Gift Card can be mailed inside your Christmas cards or wrapped with a present in a box. This will be a wonderful, Christian way of celebrating Christ's coming. Your gift will give twice!!.

  • A great gift to your entire family
  • Give to your children so they will have a feeling of involvement in God's great mission
  • You will be making a definite improvement in these Orphans lives.
  • It is a great way for you to help spread the message of LCM

Simply click on the link below to send us an email with the number of Gift cards you and your family would like and how you would like your name listed on the card(s). Give us your mailing address and we'll send them to you imediately.

 Life for Children Ministry expands to 100th Orphan
 . . . . Praise God

Boy After a prayerful review of gifts and resources Michael and the US Advisory Board have announced the fulfillment of this year's primary goal by reaching 100 Orphans. Many faithful supporters, in both prayer and financial assistance, deserve praise and acknowledgement for their hard work, which has enabled the Ministry to reach this level of success

We continue to feel Blessed in this work to help those so much less fortunate. God truly has a hand in this Ministry and we are humbled by His presence as LCM continues to bring Life, Hope and Christian Values to HIV/AIDS Orphans in Kenya.

 


 Fresh Water for Wachara, Kenya
 . . . . Cool, Clean Water

Lady at Water Well Geologic studies have now been completed and final negotiations are under way to contract for the Ministry's first water well in the small community of Wachara, about 60 kilometers south of Homa Bay along the Eastern shore of Lake Victoria. Thousands of local inhabitants will benefit from this precious resource, so scarce in this barren region of South Nyanza Province. We ask for your prayers for a successful drilling effort as we enter the final stage of this program to bring fresh water to the community.

 


 Looking Ahead to 2008
 . . . . A Great Up Coming Year

As 2007 comes to a close, the US Advisory Board and the Kenyan Board look toward the accomplishments of this past year and activities and initiatives for 2008. Results for the current need to be evaluated, areas of difficulty need to be address and new goals established for the upcoming year. All of these activities will be undertaken in the next 60 days with a 2008 LCM Plan to be announced in early January.

Preliminarily, we can report that two short term mission trips are proposed for April and August. Each will be lead by experienced Church groups who have openings for others wishing to becoming involved in the missions field. Do you hear the Call?? Email or call Michael or Dick and find out how you can become involved in activities of Life For Children Ministry.

Additionally, two major fund raising events are now on the schedule for 2008. They include a Charity Dinner and Silent Auction in early May, and a Golf Tournament in early September. Watch for more details and join us for these special occasions to support Michael.

 


 Help Spread the Good Word about LCM
 . . . . A Sign with a Message

Magnetic Sign png LCM has designed a small magnetic sign (4" x 18") that will stick to a car's trunk and not damage the car. It will tell people that Life for Children Ministry helps HIV / AIDS Orphans in Kenya and lists our website and phone. They are available for purchase for $ 20.00.

A Message from Michael

Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you," Declares the Lord, "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." These are the words of God to the People of God. Praise be to God.

As you pray and support us financially, may the above words of God be alive in you. Please consider increasing your support for this great ministry as we make new steps and responsibilities in the New Year. We will continue praying for you and your family.

May God Bless you as we enter this Holiday Season and reward you with His Glory for life everlasting. Peace to All.

In His Service,

Michael Ouma Agwanda,
Missionary
