PROJECT Farming
Pastor Job's Church has built a goat structure. We have purchased one goat and will get the second one soon. Once the goats are purchased, we will begin paying for a cow similar to the one pictured here.
This will help them to be able to provide milk for the children in the community, and they will have enough to sell.
Next chickens???
PROJECT-Women's Ministry
I am teaching the bible and applications to the women of Kisii. I writer the lessons, the Pastor's wife or the Pastor translate it for those who do not speak English. On Saturday mornings, I meet with them via video link. It has had many challenges due to time differences and their rainy season. At times it is difficult for them to reach the church due to heavy rain.
PROJECT-Church Build
It is done!!!
Building two churches in Kisii in different parts of the county.
The Harvest is in !!!! The maize will feed many families!
Community Garden-before/after clearing and during planting. It is rainy season now. We will harvest twice a year. The food will be shared with those people who contribute and to those who are unable due to disability.
The garden is growing!!
PROJECT-Pastor house
Pastor Godfrey travels a great distance for services on Sundays. We are helping to finish building his house to better serve the church. His former house was next to a swamp and he contracted malaria.
The house is coming along though we ran out of funds to complete the floors. Hopefully we will be able to complete it this year.
PROJECT-Read
The Village children do not have access to books, so I started reading to them via video then I upload it to the churches and orphanages. It has been a big hit but now the children want books!!
Hopefully, this summer, we will be able to raise funds so they can purchase some books and start to build small libraries.
I just finished our first chapter book for youth! We will begin a new book shortly, and we are going to be learning about young activists in different countries.
For our younger readers we will "Spring Around the World" where we will explore different countries and cultures! Come join us!
We now have a YouTube channel! Children/youth/young adult videos are being posted for viewing to all the children in the communities. Anyone who can view YouTube is welcome to check them out! Give a like and follow! Go to YouTube.com The link to the channel is:

PROJECT-Easter clothes
This was the second project that I started with Pastor Job. I sent funds for the children in the orphanage so they could have new clothes for Easter.
PROJECT-Open Air Crusades
Pastor Job with Life Messenger Church in Kisii Kenya is preaching open air crusades. Many people are being saved!
PROJECT-Clean
Pastor Job and a few other Pastors from Kisii purchased 700 bars of soap with funds we provided and took it to the prison where they were able to preach to the prisoners. Some prisoners accepted Jesus on this visit!
Project-Help a Family
We just completed construction of a home for a family of Because of the love we showed them by helping them move out of a hut no bigger than a small storage shed, the husband/father has accepted Christ! This was all thanks to Jesus' provision!
Disclaimer: All the projects in Kenya to this point have been funded by Mindy alone. No money has been donated from White Dove. This will be changing as International Registries are completed.
