Praises and Prayers

Thank God for the spirit of Giving/ Sharing of Kenyan women

Praise God for the Kenyan women who often demonstrate such a spirit of giving/ generosity toward others in greater need, that we can really learn from!

In November, Regina (the Regional Program Manager of the Malili region) wrote:

"The challenge we had this month was that the rains have started but many women had no seeds to plant in their gardens, so we thought it wise for those who have (seeds) to share with others."

"It really worked for all members planted their gardens!"

Isn't that a beautiful testimony of how the women share with each other and partner together so that all will be able to progress on their path out of poverty!

Pray for Mbooni women with Cancer

Agnes, the Kenya Program Director, requests prayer for four women in her Mbooni region who have discovered they have cancer.

"Please pray for the four members of the Wovosyo women's group who are admitted in the hospital due to cancer."

"This has really affected their group but the cluster is doing all the best to help the affected families."

Please Pray for Final Completion of Kenya Registration Process

Thank God for the PFP-Kenya Registration approval! However, the process for Path From Poverty to become registered as a non-profit organization in Kenya has continued to involve lots of questions from lawyers to Agnes, our Kenya Program Director.

Thank God for His enabling and empowering Agnes to complete this process!

Pray that it will be completely settled, with no more questioning, so Agnes can get on with her other work.

Thank God! Lydia's house has doors and windows!

We thank God that Lydia's house is mostly finished and the tank is installed with the gutters ready to catch the rain off the roof (see photo above). Apparently the doors and windows have been installed now, and hopefully the locks on the doors!

As you may remember the Kwambeu Women's Group (of which Lydia is a member), their AIC church, and the more established PFP women's groups from the Mbooni, Kisau, and Tulimani regions, have been helping fund the building of this 2-room house for Lydia and her children. The tank has water for Lydia's family to use since the rainy season has started in the Kilome region!

Thank you for continuing to pray for God's protection from harm for Lydia and her family. Apparently Lydia also has mental health issues. Please pray for complete healing for her.

Kenyan women Express their Deep Appreciation for Gift Tanks

Susan Musembe (Regional Program Manager for the Kilome cluster) expressed her deep appreciation, on behalf of the Kenyan women, for water tanks that were recently delivered in November.

She said, "The groups convey their sincere appreciation for all the gifts of tanks received (from PFP-U.S.) through the year. May God bless you richly!"

Please pray that God may continue to bless all the Kenyan women's hard work and efforts to generate income toward their target of pooling resources with other women in their group.

Pray also for all the efforts of PFP-U.S. to raise funds for as many tanks as possible to add incentive and multiply the Kenyan women's efforts.

Kenya Team Training mtg January 15 - 5:30 p.m.

Thank God that He has raised up a full and diverse team of 12 members for the upcoming work team trip to Kenya! (Feb. 26 - March 11, 2020)

The 4th team training meeting will be held Wed., January 15 at 5:30 p.m. using ZOOM online to accommodate people on the team from around the country.

If you have questions, email: boni@pathfrompoverty.org or call PFP office: (206) 624-4934. Please pray for the team's preparation in the next few weeks before they leave on Feb. 26th.

As a member of the PFP team, they will meet delightful Kenyan women from the Kibwezi region of eastern Kenya daring to change their lives! They will work alongside them in “Harambee” (Swahili for “pulling together”) to help them construct foundations for their water tanks, to build relationships with them, and to learn about how they hope to catch their rain.

God's Provision for the Indonesia Program until June 2020

Thank God! The Japanese Presbyterian Church is continuing to support the PFP-Indonesia Program until June of 2020.

After 11 years of partnership with the women of North Sumatra, June 30, 2019 marked the closure of the Indonesia Program. PFP made the strategic decision to focus efforts on our work in Kenya, where there were opportunities for program growth and replication.

Please continue to pray that God will raise up an organization/donor who would feel called to support the Program from July 2020 onward.

Thank God for Program Director Hotmaida Siahaan’s trust in the Lord and her faithful, persevering, committed attitude to continue to come alongside the women in poverty there. Please pray for wisdom and guidance for Hotmaida, and for these women as they continue to courageously walk the path out of poverty.
