There is a passage of scripture from the book of Habakkuk Hosea (NKJV) which goes something like this: My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Now put aside the context for the sake of this blog posting, and just consider that statement. Ignorance can have a profound impact on someone's life,...

I have been thinking this morning about how to describe the work we do in the community. (I am trying to write a few articles introducing us and our work to new readers. The first in the series can be found here.) When it occurred to me to just tell you a story that happened a few days ago. We had a...

People Living With Aids Not dying but living. Today we will be having a lunch meeting with a group of about 30 people who are HIV positive. We work with these folks on a regular basis, and so know most of them well. Ben, our team member who does most of the field work, knows them really well. He kno...

The construction on the new room for orphaned boys is so far going on without any problem at all. We are on track to be starting on the roof next week, and I can't tell you how excited we are. It is so humbling to be part of a project like this. We are building space for these orphans to live. I mea...

I just sent this out to our email list. If you can help we appreciate it. If not we understand.   It would appear that we are not immune from economic downturns anymore than the next guy is. Not that we assumed we would be safe, yet we hoped to weather the storm better than we have been. Our in...

We are preparing to move in a couple of days, which means the posting may be somewhat sporadic. If you find the content shallow, lacking our usual spunk, just have a little patience. Moving is hard work, especially when you are a fat lazy man. Thankfully we will have plenty of help.     &n...

Here is how we spent your donations over the past year. Please keep in mind that it is not exact to the shilling, mostly because Kenya is a cash society. We often buy fruits, vegetables, fuel, and other things using cash. Normally we buy these items from small kiosks or a guy on the street, so they ...

I know that Johnny has been taking the time to write articles that 'define' who we are, what we believe, and what we do here in Kenya. As I was lying in bed this morning, I was thinking about what we do for people in the community. Just yesterday Johnny bought food for some people who had none, and ...

We, Kate and myself, formed Pure Christianity towards the end of 2004. The concept or idea had coalesced earlier, after the year 2000. I was bent down to the ground under the weight of my religious obligations. The guilt was killing me, so I did the only logical thing. I got angry at God. He quickly...

Not sure I can answer that. I am the one here, but even I am not sure how it happened. My journey has taken me to all kinds of places, before leading me to where I am at the moment. Not that I am saying I have arrived at my destination, I still feel that I am on the journey. Seeking God. Trying to l...
