Well once again God has blown us away with his answer to prayer. We were talking to Elizabeth (in Kenya) and she was telling us the update on the Massai and the drought in Kenya. It is devastating at the moment and there are cows lying dead along the side of the road as the Massai are trying to get them to some grass. So much so they are illegally going into the National Park in Nairobi to feed on what little grass they can find. They are willing to risk their lives with the wild animals in there if it means that they will get food for the cows and goats.
So Elizabeth was also telling us about how many of the women were not able to make it to the Bible studies due to being so weak and thin from starving. It is very harsh for them at the moment and for so many others in the country. So I really felt God was putting it on my heart to raise some money so we can feed the Massai. So I sent out some info and a plea to people and within 36hrs all the money had been raised. It was unbelievable, I couldn't believe how responsive people were, it was so encouraging. So enough money was raised to feed 56 families for a month. To make matters even better there was a small team staying with Elizabeth and Robbie and they also saw the need and went shopping for supplies for two weeks for the families. Yesterday Elizabeth went shopping for the women and will go again today to buy more so all the families will be feed. It was so encouraging to hear how excited they were that on the 29Oct they would be receiving enough food for their family for a month. That is unheard of for them, to be guaranteed food for a total of a month and half by the two donations. Praise God for his plans eh, he doesn't just answer prayer he does it in style. I've attached some photos which Elizabeth sent through today. So cool to see so many faces we recognize, it brings a tear to the eye. We so wish we were out there. There will be more to follow.
