We have received the following request from Rev Daniel Mathuva. Please pray for the overall situation in Kenya and consider making a donation. If you make a donation to support this need please also contact us so we can make sure your donation gets allocated to famine relief. We will see how we can respond at the next trustees meeting in early September.
Dear Pamoja trustees
Greetings to all, hope this finds you fine. As much as we are doing well spiritually and we have every reason to thank God for life, things in Kenya are getting out of hands. The drought is so servere that in many places people are going a week without food and only boiled water. Animals have died and people are following. It was report in the news that last week alone 7 adults passed away due to lack of food. Where there has been hope in passed rivers have dried and have affected the main rivers in kenya. No doubt whatever means the government has, it can not by itself do this alone. No amount of money is able to support kenya and sustain its people this point of time. This kind of situation needs God's intervation. You cannot imagine a country without enough water for its people, no food, and every thing seems to be getting worse every day. In such country life is unberable.
For one visiting the city of Nairobi, the capital city of Kenya, one will not be able to tell the suffering in the country. One is welcomed by modern buildings like any other city in the world and many people moving and very welcoming but the truth is outside the city, in the villages, slums and the country side many people are at risk. They go without food for days, the government food is not for all and only few get that food. In the slums people are considered to be in the city and non boths abpout them.
Friends and God's people the famine in Kenya reminds me of the famine which was during the times of the prophets and one prophesied that God will send a famine in the land that has never been seen. Is Kenya suffering due to its own sins, might been, but will God's people that are called by his people close their eyes and watch when their feelow human being are dying. Please dear friends and God's people am sounding a trumphet call and let it be heard by all and come for our rescue. I do know that everyone is affected by the world resession but ours is more of a curse than economic resession.
Come for our resue, speak with friends and fellow believers.
Thanks
God bless you
Daniel Mathuva
