Dear Friends and Family,
I am so excited to share with you all that I am going to
Elangata Enterit in Kenya this summer with sweet friends involved in our
college campus ministry, Campus Christian Fellowship! We will be flying out of
the United States on June 22nd and will return on July 6th.
Campus Christian Fellowship became the sole supporter of a
school of over 600 children in rural Kenya called Elangata Enterit (“Dry
Crossing”). We have committed to sending $600 each month to provide school
supplies, dormitories, food, water, clothing, and transportation for teachers
to receive paychecks. In addition to sending them financial support, CCF has
been faithful to go, providing an
opportunity to see how the money is being used and to share with the school’s
children and teachers Jesus’ love. We want our support of Elangata Enterit to
be a relationship through the common goal of glorifying God and serving the
least of these.
Is it helping?? Before CCF supported Elangata Enterit, it
was one of the lowest scoring schools in the region. The school is now in the
top two or three. One of the OVCs (Orphans and Vulnerable Children) was one of
the highest scoring on his national exams and is now attending a quality
secondary school in Kisii, a larger town in Kenya. The percentage of girls
attending school has been steadily increasing, currently up to 15 percent of
the highest grade (significantly higher than other maasai schools in the
district). What exciting work the Lord is doing here!
God uses more than just the people going. He uses the entire
Church to move in big ways, and I would love to invite you to be a part of it!
First, our team will need to be covered in prayers: Prayers for encouragement,
health, and hearts that are anxious to love and be changed. Elangata Enterit
will need prayers: That they will see Jesus in our team, that they will know He
is their provider, and that more people in the community would accept Him as
Savior. Pray that the trip glorifies God and furthers His kingdom.
Second, we need to be supported financially. I need to raise
$3,745 for the trip. God is so faithful to provide, and I am confident He will
use His church to get our team there. If you would like to support our team
financially, please send a check to 912 E. Randolph St., Kirksville, MO 63501,
made out to New Mission Systems International (NMSI). It is beautiful to me to
see my friends and family partner with our team to serve in Jesus’ name.
Any news, prayers, and thoughts about the trip are on http://elangataenterit.blogspot.com/
and will be updated as often as possible. Feel free to check it out!
Love,
Katherine Kennison
