Please pray for Olwazzi as we prepare to make decisions about out next project. There are many needs in the village. Please pray that we meet the most pressing. Pray for the children of the village. Pray that they will be able to go to school soon. Pray that they will have good food daily. Pray that they will have clothes and shoes. Pray that we can show them Jesus.

I wish that I had updates and pictures of the birthing center, but Godfrey hasn't been able to send me any. I will post them as soon as possible.

Prayer Requests

Please be in prayer for two of the families in the village tonight.

This first family has lost their 14 year old son. Peter went swimming in Lake Victoria and drowned. They have not recovered his body yet. Please pray that he can be found. Pray for peace for the family during this difficult time.

The second family has been ravaged by HIV. The mother is HIV+ and gave birth to twins almost 2 years ago. She has now contracted TB. Please pray that we are able to get her the treatment she needs. Please pray that the TB does not infect the twins who are so fragile.

Updates on the birthing center and other projects are coming soon.

Thank you so much for your prayers.

Please pray that revenue will be raised to start an income generation project for the men in the village. Please pray that more volunteers would come forth to work in the village.
