Village Discipleship Schools

The very wonderful Village Discipleship Schools programme ended with a Conference during the first week of December.

You can see praise and worship inside the Hall before the speakers started on one day of the Conference.
On the final day, the Graduation was held outside in blazing sunshine. You can see people listening to a message from the Vicar of Christ Church, Beckenham, UK via a mobile phone - such is modern technology!
Graduates marched to the ground, each Local Transformation Unit in its own distinctive way. Mentors watched as their students excelled themselves. Five months of hard work were celebrated on this day!






God held the rain until the whole function was over!

Praise God for all who took part, who prayed and who funded this amazing interdenominational training. Pray now for each of these disciples to make more disciples.

Bromley High School volunteers.

The Bromley High School (Kent, UK) group of Sixth Formers with two staff members have just left after spending two weeks as volunteers with IcFEM. Their activities included spring protection and building houses for two needy old ladies in Kimaeti and East Bukusu Local Transformation Units.
The photos show the handing over of the house at Kimaeti LTU.
The old couples were also given new clothes, and other gifts, including a new bed, mattress, blanket and some food.
They were a pleasure to have and we say "Welcome again, Bromley High!!"

The Karen Burn Disabled Group at Kamakuywa LTU

Karen Burn's time as a volunteer included helping to set up a group for disabled ladies to make handicrafts, knitting and crochet.
Elizabeth came to Prayer and Fasting to display some of the things they had made. Thank you Karen for this big encouragement to these ladies.
If anyone reading this would like to buy any of these items, please contact office@icfem.org

A "new" vehicle for community work.

I woke up one morning to see a new vehicle parked in our home compound! It had been purchased in Nairobi and driven here over night.
This is a wonderful gift from St Martin's Church, Guernsey. A team will be coming in July to use it.
Later that day, the Director drove it to HQ, where staff rejoiced, sat inside it and prayed for it, dedicating it to the Lord's service.

Spring before protection.

These photos show the spring before protection.
I was trying to post these photos and ones of the handing over of the protected spring on Friday. However, the Internet went down!! Thankfully I didn't lose everything and was able to post a few photos when the Internet came back this week. These "before" photos give you some idea of the problems that community has been having with a decent water supply. We thank God for the kind friends who helped to buy the materials for the community members to work on the spring protection.

Handing over of protected spring on Friday 27th May

Here are`some photos of the spring and tree planting! Kibingei LTU.

Unusually, I am seen planting a tree - not behind the camera this time.










The community is VERY delighted with this good water supply.

A big farewell for the Smalls.

Steve and Sarah Small have been with us for seven months. We are very sad to see them go. We are looking forward to their input when they get back to UK.
THANK YOU, Steve and Sarah, for a wonderful job...
Steve has been working on the Mission Website www.icfem-mission.org and the Support a Village website. Sarah has been invaluable in so many ways... Together they are a remarkable team. We thank God for them.
The photos were taken at their farewll party, except the last one - which was at Director's house for their final meal with us.

DEC Water Tank

Some years ago, we received a generous gift to enable us to start an underground water tank to harvest rainwater from the Dreamland Education Centre buildings.



We are very thankful to all who have helped towards the completion of this project.



In the photos, you can see the tank at two stages of construction. The last photos were taken this week.
The photos of the buiding show that some guttering is there, but a bit more is needed.
When this tank is finished, it will be a big blessing and the water problems will be much reduced.

A visit to DMCC

On a recent visit to DMCC, I saw Mama Susan. She was walking around, but wanted me to take her photo in the three-bed ladies ward. Of course the other ladies wanted their photos taken as well, so here they all are, including a Mama who had given birth to twins at home a day or two earlier.
Mama Susan has now been discharged and we thank God for her recovery.
