God is so faithful! I can't tell you enough how amazing he has been for us here in Kenya and especially in the IDP camps. His favor had been with us since the beginning almost a year ago when we began planning. This week has been evidence of all of this as projects are finally well on the move. Plowing for the 2 acre peanut farm is underway and will be complete on Thursday except for a portion that will hold a large tent over this coming weekend for an ILI conference. God provided a way for me to meet the President of the ILI (International Leadership Institute) several months ago in Boone, NC and since then He has opened up doors for an ILI conference to come to the IDP camps to train Christian Leaders of all denominations and backgrounds. What is most exciting of all to me is that the training is done by Kenyan pastors from around this region and the training and teaching will be done in Kiswahili. Praise be to God for going before us and providing ways for his people to better hear the good news here in a place with little hope! Teresa (the woman who is chairman of a baking self-help group) is being hired by us for the weekend to cook lunch and chai for 40+ attendees to this conference. We also are able to hire another group from within the camp to provide the 40 chairs we need for all of the trainers and trainees.
