God's Timing

Hello friends and family! Below is a brief report from our dear friends and co-workers on the coast. Luganje Nyale, Mike Karabu and John Kenga are coordinating the food relief efforts among various Giryama families who are in need. We are so very thankful for their efforts and willingness to assist us and God's people. This is an excerpt from them along with photos of some of the families...

“God’s timing is perfect.” This is one of the many thanksgivings of the few recipients of the food aid from Swift African Ministries. Many of these recipients came from poverty stricken families. One need not ask what these people need, a glance of them will tell you their suffering has been with them for some time. Apart from the rags on their bodies, the small thatched and mud houses will surely tell you more. But babies with wrinkled faces will make you shed tears. The other thing which will come into your mind is how and to what extent you can help because almost everything needed urgent intervention and people ready to stretch a helping hand. This is the actual situation in Kaloleni, Kilifi and Malindi area.

Mama Nyevu Mwanyule is a widow caring for 9 children most of them in Primary School. Her husband died five years ago from AIDS and being HIV positive, she lives a life of being constantly sick. Her second born daughter has a baby. They live by baking local bread to sell at the nearby market for the daily meal. They were very happy to have received this aid and prayed for continuous donation. May God bless you all.

Church of Christ Primary School was taken as a family to be assisted in the food aid. It is handling children from poor families who cannot afford quality education in the public or private primary schools. The Chairman of the school, Mr. Karani Baya (on the right) wishes to provide good education for these families. It has a total number of 120 children, from Kindergarten to class 2 (second grade). The dreams for the Church members are to provide good classrooms with facilities for better education. We do really pray for all those who donated and pray for more donations in aid of these children. God Bless you all.
