Bryce Homes Kenya Update |
|||||
|
April 8, 2013 It has been some time since we have sent out a report from Kenya sharing the progress that is being made with the Bryce Homes Program there. After our last trip to Kenya in December of 2012, we reported that if support funds were available we would like to expand the number of homes for the care of widows and orphans. Thanks to the response from our readers from Understand The Times and Lighthouse Trails we have been able to work towards this goal. Thanks to the generosity of our supporters located in various parts of the world we now have added four more homes to our program to bring the total in Kenya to twenty. Initially, the vision for this program started with five homes. Since the program began, we have seen how God has directed and blessed all that is being done. Not only are the children and widows receiving food, clothes, and medical assistance, they are being nurtured spiritually by the team that God has raised up in Kenya to oversee the program.
As well, eight new homes have been built this past year replacing shacks that no longer provided appropriate shelter. Each home is built with a metal roof, a wood stove and a chimney that directs the smoke outdoors. The widows have expressed their gratitude to their brothers and sisters in Christ from around the world who have expressed their love and concern for them even though they have never met face to face. Approximately 120 children are now receiving care, and for the first time in their lives have hope. This is how the Christian Church is supposed to work. It is difficult to express in words what the Bryce Homes program means to my family and to me personally. Three years ago when I was at the point of despair and near death, it seemed like the ministry of Understand The Times had come to an end. Now, the ministry has been given new life as we have been able to focus on serving less fortunate Christians around the world. If you have ever wondered how you could make a difference in a child’s life for a small amount of financial assistance, the Bryce Home program is for you. We could easily expand the Kenya program to twenty-five homes from twenty as God provides through supporters that catch the vision. If you open the Understand The Times web site at understandthetimes.org, you will see rotating photos of all the Bryce Homes we support around the world. You can also find several pages on the site talking about our various Bryce Homes around the world. There are now 38 homes in four countries supporting over 200 children. We thank the Lord for all that He is doing.
