Our churches use this as an opportunity to share the love of Christ with the whole community. Thus far, I have received preliminary reports of 14 people accepting Christ as Savior. We do not pressure people to make decisions &#8211; but we ask that they listen to the Gospel before they receive the food.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m sure there will be much more spiritual fruit as the sincerity of the love of our people has time to penetrate the hearts of the unsaved in the various villages.<\/p>\n<p>A special blessing: I discovered that the Kenya Government had 300 bags of maize in a warehouse, and was able to convince them to release it to us for distribution. So, for a mere $200 in fuel costs, we were able to get food to thousands of people, and get the Gospel message out &#8211; at Government expense! I haven&#8217;t received the reports from this distribution exercise yet &#8211; but I&#8217;m sure that there will be much spiritual fruit added to our heavenly accounts.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for caring!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We have sent out about $1,300 worth of famine relief food thus far.
