Kenya School Update

It has been almost two months since my last update and we are so close to completion!! All that remains now is a little plastering, some painting, and quite a bit of general clean up and our school in Kenya will be fully operational. The kids have even begun using some of the upper floor classrooms.

It has been amazing for me to watch God at work through this project. At the beginning of the year we purchased a plot of land and had some small plans for expanding our rented facility.

At some point we decided to tear down the existing structure and build a foundation with solid walls.

Over time this plan expanded to a two story structure with provisions for two additional floors to be added in the future. I will confess that if I had known how much work and money would be involved in completing this project I would have never begun. The costs involved, even since my last update, have been much more than I had planned. Those of you involved in construction may understand this better but for me it was quite a surprise. But the amazing thing to watch was that every time we needed more funds someone would make an additional donation. I never had to come back and ask for more funding. We are now close to completion and have been able to make all our payments right on time. We are praising God and thanking you for your support!!

By the end of the year our focus will shift to the daily operational needs of the school but for right now it would be such a blessing if you could help with the relatively small amount of funds needed to bring us to completion.
