Drought Relief Photos

It's been a while since I've been on here. Sorry for the lapse. We were at the coast last week for a retreat and hosting lots of great people coming through town. While I want to post a good update, I am suffering through the beginning stages of a cold, so not thinking that clearly. Thus, I will keep the words to a minimum and post a few pictures from the drought relief in Kajiado. These were taken early this month when Joe went out with a guy from Good News Productions to film footage for IDES. They have provided a good deal of support for food and transport during this time and hope to continue spreading the word about the need through a video.
















Here is Stephen presenting the Word before the distribution of food.















Even Joe got in on the filming action!



















Folks lined up waiting for their turn to receive food.



















Others waiting in the shade with their sacks.

A few cows that didn't make it.

Please continue to pray for rain. There still hasn't been any significant rain, which is as expected since the next rainy season isn't due until November. One of the CCC leaders, however, mentioned that he read in the paper they are expecting El Nino in October. Pray that even before then, the rains might come.

We are headed to Kajiado tomorrow for a CHE meeting. If there are any further updates, I will keep you posted...
