Only 3 sips of milk per week.....

MILK AND DAILY FOOD for the Breath of Heaven Children's Home








Three times per week, 28 orphans in Watamu, Kenya at the Breath of Heaven Children's Home are treated to a cup of black tea, with milk and sugar.
That is only 3 sips of milk PER WEEK for growing children.  Imagine how their bones must be suffering, and the leg cramps.  I had "growing pains" as a child, and they seemed worse at night when falling asleep.
The Pastor's cupboards stay bare.  Meals are only served once or twice if possible per day, and consist of boiled sweet potato or black flour.  Whenever possible, the diet will include some beans, maize or rice and a bit of vegetable or some meat. Oil is needed to make the dumplings to boil in broth.
The community merchants run a tab for the orphanage, but even they must be paid, or accounts paid down, to get food for the next day.
I am hoping to make a difference.
Yes, my friends, YOU HAVE stepped up and given in emergencies and God BLESS YOU for the substenance you provided, sometimes wired through Western Union only a few hours before the children awakened!  THEY don't know that their food is borrowed or gotten on credit.
The Pastors, Samuel and Josephine pray every day for a way to feed them...for their Daily Bread.
Sometimes the adults fast and let their portions go to the children.  Sometimes it is for a spiritual fast.
GOD HAS MOVED so greatly at the Breath of Heaven in the past, and He will again!
Please consider giving a regular gift, small or great, through our Paypal donation button, and pray to the Lord that they will never fear hunger again.
