Bridge of Love to Kisii Orphanage: The New Dormitory

This is the beginning,.....the seed of faith sown by the pastor and his wife

into the new dormitory that God spoke to him to begin for the next

phase of this orphanage.

God is moving on this and bringing other seed and support to build upon this heart that He has given him. These children are God's heart. He sees that there are many more that need help, that need love, that need you and I to be His "Bridge of Love" that brings them in and showers them with His love for a bright future, that pave a way for them to know who they are in Christ and in the Kingdom, and to provide the resources and means to give them the stepping stones into that future. It is a great work of God's heart and it takes support and involvement of His people.

These are 1200 bricks of the 2000 needed for the beginning of the foundation that were able to be purchased with another seed sown. As we sow and pray we see things grow. We sow and water, but it's God that causes the increase. THIS is good ground to sow your seed.

Here are the list of supplies needed for the new foundation that the Lord spoke to the Pastor to begin. He believes as the foundation is laid that God will bring others to supply and complete the dormitory. Join with us in faith to be a part of what God is doing in these orphans lives.

The total amount needed for the foundation is $700.
1. 2000 bricks plus transportation=$300
2. 25 bags of cement=$200
3. Labor =$200
(the bricks are for elevation on the foundation)

Watch this blog as we post the progression of God's work here.

Bless you!

*********************
UPDATE: God Provided! and on February 9th the new construction of the dormitory began! God's work is moving forward as we move with Him, and it has created excitement in the children for this new construction as it will allow other orphaned children to come into God's arms of LOVE. Thank you for your support!

As you can see the land which the dormitory is being built on is sloped so the foundation is elevated and built higher on the down slope to level it with the upper side of the slope. Inside the foundation walls is filled with dirt and concrete. We are waiting upon the Lord for $200 more to complete the additional supplies needed.

After the foundation is complete the next phase will be the construction of the walls.

Supplies and fees needed are:

1. One lorry of sand = $376

2. 4000 bricks = $500

3. 2 lorries of ballast - $352

4. 40 bags of cement - $376

5. Labor - $400

TOTAL: $2004

From here we will focus on putting on the roof.

UPDATE: 4-3-15 God provided! The one lorry of sand was purchased earlier in the month, and the remaining bricks were purchased with the $516 of funds raised through a garage sale at our house for the new dormitory. It was a great corporate time of support and fellowship with many of our church family in raising this money at the garage sell. And now we are trusting God to multiply these monies and supply all the needed funds for this work. The Pastor has been moved to sacrifice this month's paycheck to help meet half the cost of one lorry of ballast. May God bless and multiply these seeds and continue to provide for this kingdom work. He uses you and I to do this. Please consider making a donation towards this effort. Blessings!

Remaining needs for this phase of the construction is:

1. 1.5 lorries of ballast - $264

2. 40 bags of cement - $376

3. Labor - $400

TOTAL: $1040

UPDATE: June 5th

God has continued to bless miraculously so we can move forward on this building project of the new dormitory. We have found favor with the builder and supplier to pay the remaining $756 in labor and supplies out at $140/week as he moves on with the construction. The rains there in Kisii have threatened to weaken the established foundation, so it has been important for us to move forward as soon as possible to get the walls up. It's an honor and a privilege to be a part of and to sow into this kingdom work. The poor, the orphan, and the fatherless are on God's heart, and Jesus said, "Whatsoever you do to the least of My brothers you do to Me." When we help these children have a home, protection, covering, food, and education we are doing this to Jesus. We are His hands, His arms, His feet, His mouthpiece. We are His bridge of love to these children.
Please consider being apart, and sowing into this kingdom work to help more children feel His love and have a home.

June 8th - Walls going up!
