TRANSFORMING LIVES THROUGH HOLISTIC DEVELOPMENT

Greetings!

Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to write to you once again. I trust that you and your loved ones are keeping well. I pray and believe that the Lord has always been faithful to you all,  despite what you may have had to endure this season.

Family Update: I am so excited to report that things are going on well. Our daughter will be turning five (5) years on June 21st. She is supper excited and really looking forward to celebrate her special day, as she also begins school.

Ministry Update: This is our sixth month since we started conducting our ministry at Mbagathi Road Primary School (MRPS). We started with 60 children, and expected to see these numbers to grow. 

 Unfortunately, these numbers have been fluctuating over time due to the following challenges that are affecting our children in their homes and the environment;

• As early as 12 – 15 years old, they’re forced to stay at home and look after their young siblings.
• They skip learning and their weekly training program due to lack of training equipment.
• Most of these children are forced to abandon their learning and training to look for casual work in their community to raise funds to support their families.
• Majority of their parents and guardians earn as low as $2 per day for the labor provided

Our coaches have been very instrumental in the development of these children and the organization. They have exceptionally led the ministry welll, despite numerous challenges they also had to face in different occasion.

Refugees: We are still optimistic and in prayer to conduct a few sports programs in the refugee camp before the end of the year as the Lord provides resources. it's quite expenssive to travel in and from the camp.

 Website: Our sincere apologies, if you may have encountered any challenges while trying to login into our website. We are still redeveloping our site and we’ll notify you as soon as it’s ready.

International Update: We trained, ministered and shared gifts with 70+ children, friends, staff and parents who attended “The Spring Soccer Camp” in USA. We also managed to engage and connect with a few elite athletes at The Edge Sports & Arts Academy before their training. Thank you very much for your prayers, support and enabling me to travel and serve during this period.

Way Forward

• We seek to periodically hire a government teacher from MRPS to conduct tuition during school holiday and Saturday for those players who skip school and training in search of funds to support their familiesand school fees, when funds are available.
• We are still raising funds for equipment to distribute to our players who skip training due to luck of equipment, and also distribute some to the refugees.
• We have started to provide meals for our players after the training to replenish their bodies and encourage them to attend training program and school. We hope and pray to periodically provide this refreshment either twice month or weekly as funds are made available.
• Are there friends in your circle who could be interested in helping us achieve the above objective? We’ll really be happy to connect and share more with them.
• Can you prayerfully consider of becoming a partner by helping us to fulfill the above objectives? 

Prayer Need

• We are trusting the Lord for constant financial support to provide learning materials, school fees, school uniforms, training equipments, supporting our coaches and among other iteams, as list above.

We are so excited to pray with you and your family. Kindly feel free to share with us how you would like us to pray with you too.
