Life in the Kiandutu Slums

Ever think your home or apartment is too small and life is unbearable? Let’s spend 5 minutes together in the Kiandutu Slums in Central Kenya with 15 year old George and his family. You may appreciate the life that you have just a little more 🙂

Did We Go? …Find Out in Episode 4 :)

Catch the all new field report from Thika Town in Central Kenya. We could really use a little financial help too! God Bless each and every one of you!

Episode 3 of The Kenya Crusade Launched!

Margaret has a very big vision for the forgotten children of the Kiandutu Slums. She has built the Rivers of Joy Children’s Center from the ground up for a handful of children, but expects to make a home for more than 300 children! Watch the Kenya Crusade tell the story of one woman’s vision and see why we are convinced she will make it happen. Sometimes HOPE is all someone needs. God Bless you for watching this video!
You can email Margaret at: RiversOfJoyC@yahoo.com

Off to Garissa in the Morning!

It’s almost 9pm here in Thika, Kenya and we leave for Garissa in less than 9 hours! Garissa is a 6 hour drive away and only 50km outside of Dadaab, Kenya…the largest refugee camp in the world. Garissa is a very dangerous place right as well. There is a lot of security concerns there. We have been blessed to meet a local pastor who will be looking after us while we are there. Please say a prayer for us!

God Bless You All!

The process of securing and setting up a 501(c)3 non-profit was very easy with their help!
The name has been secured and we are moving forward with the process of official non-profit status…so now all of your donations will be tax deductible 🙂
Hallelujah! Now we can get on with saving the people of Somalia and still get a tax break 🙂 Amen!
