Tis the Season.....

As the fall colors start to change and the evening air turns crisp, my thoughts turn towards thinking about the holidays and the upcoming Christmas celebration for the children in Kapchorwa.

We are now collecting donations for this event that has become so special for the children, so please consider making a contribution of any amount by check or online. We will be taking donations until November 1st.

Happy Autumn!

John is home! Latest update on Kapchorwa has arrived...

It was great to meet with John Hornbeck this week and hear his encouraging update of how things are going in Kapchorwa. He said Testimony School is looking better than ever, as they have planted gardens around the school grounds and are actually harvesting fresh vegetables to add to the daily meal for the children and staff. They are in the process of re-painting the building while the children are out on holidays for the next few weeks. They have also put some stone work around the grounds of the school to avoid all the red dirt becoming mud during the rainy seasons and being tracked into the school and classrooms. You can imagine having over 400 pairs of little feet and hands covered in red dirt all over the floors and walls of the school!

Because of all the recent rain, things look lush and the coffee plants are hanging heavy with beautiful coffee cherries. He was able to spend part of a Saturday with the children at their "Saturday School Program" where he listened to lots of great singing and teaching and also attended a soccer match of our children from Testimony VS children from another local school. He said the children looked great, were healthy and happy!

Mission team working hard in Oaxaca City, Mexico

Please continue to pray for our team that is currently in Oaxaca City working with Pastor Ismael Cruz and his church Casa de Fe (House of Faith). We will get you detailed reports of their time there and all God did in and through them after they return next week.

John Hornbeck on the ground in Kapchorwa

Hi all,

I (Kelly Pyke here) hope to begin updating this blog more regularly for sponsors and other folks who want to keep up with all that God is doing in Kapchorwa!

At the moment, the fantastic John Hornbeck is in Kapchorwa working hard on KaBuM coffee stuff. He is also visiting Testimony School to spend a bit of time with the teachers and staff and to greet the children on behalf of all of the sponsors. Please pray for him, for wisdom, discernment and strength, as he deals with a ton of important issues having to do with KaBuM, Testimony School and Sisters of the Heart!

Thanks for your continued interest, prayers and support for the children and community of Kapchorwa.
