Tony, Eldon, and Ray are home now after completing a 10 day trip to Kenya including Nairobi and the Lord’s Servants Home (LSH) that is supported by Mission Servants Ministry (MSM) since 2007. Those three guys are a team with Christ-like hearts for teaching, serving, and loving others. Among other goals, they partnered with Pastors Henry and Moses, Kenyan Missionaries from Nairobi for a week of local Pastor training and teaching at LSH.

20 area Pastors were trained as a follow-up program to a week long session last year.

Ray spent the week teaching a bible course at the Compel High School in nearby Webuye.

Tony met with the older children from LSH that have completed High School and are planning a future either with further education or training, or business starting. We stay in touch and advise and help where we can. Kenya is a bleak place economically for young adults. A news source reports that 3.9 million Kenyans under 35 years old with college degrees are out of work or underemployed. Depending who you ask, the general unemployment of trained people is over 1/3. Tragic. We hope to focus the kids towards job creation and careers in demand.

Eldon taught a daily Adult Discipleship Class. Always a favorite of the Church Members.

Last year there was considerable effort to train local ladies in sewing. A room with good sewing machines was set up and several ladies trained. Tony found a thriving sewing group that calls itself the LSH sewing club. Plans were discussed to expand this initiative to a larger place to allow more to participate.

One area needing repair attention was the playground of the school. New parts were brought from the US and work organized to fix the playground. This was a popular effort!

A second main area of repair need was the battery backup system for the power for lights. Grid power has outages several times a week. The storage batteries that supplies power during outages were well beyond their lifespan. New batteries and other electrical system repairs were made.

Several Community Water Supply Projects that have been supported by MSM were visited. 11 new projects were completed since the visit last year providing safe clean water for over 2000 families. The latest one is on the left. This initiative continues in 2025.

Thank you all for your prayers and support of the hands on efforts of MSM to improve the futures of the LSH kids, the health of the community, and spreading the Gospel in the Bwase region of Kenya. Praise God for that work since 2007.

Blessings,

Bob
