"Reach Out Campaign" to pay our Teachers, $220 Urgently Needed

THANKS BE TO GOD WE MET THIS GOAL THIS MONTH:

 We are short this month $220 to pay our wonderful teachers of the Logos Chosen Academy which opened on January 6, 2014.  One teacher was paid $20 out of $100, one teacher has received full pay of $80, and one has received nothing instead of $100.   Also, the kitchen helper has not received his salary of $40.

The average Kenyan earns $3 per day. Teaching is skilled labor.

It is so important that all our teachers are paid for work they have already done because we want to keep them. We are reaching out in this campaign to pay our teachers $220 total which is needed immediately. They have their own families to support, and have been so faithful and dedicated.  If you can help, please click the DONATE button. You will receive a receipt and a report on all the good you have done, with Pastor Samuel's written thanks from Watamu, Kenya.  You may also choose to give anonymously or make it a monthly gift.

We want you to be a part of this mission. You are significant and wanted.  Help us.  Give us your ideas and thoughts and prayers. Let us pray for your needs.  This is the poorest orphanage in Watamu and every dollar goes directly to the children's needs, without administrative overhead.  The only cost we incur are Paypal and Western Union fees.  We also accept checks and that saves us Paypal fees.

We are praying for you.

A Facebook Appeal for Surgery for Josephine Omutanyi Omondi

1. $599 will cover 2 surgeries, 2 days hospitalization and medications. This is not a lot in US dollars compared to our medical costs, but in Kenya, at $3 per day average wage, it would take 200 days earnings. That is why I have set up this facebook page, to appeal for donations for her surgeries.

   Josephine Omutanyi Surgery Helpline

   8 minutes ago

   Pastor Josephine has had to slow down caring for 27 orphans at the Breath of Heaven Children's Home. She has been having worsening abdominal pains. After an examination by a medical doctor, she was diagnosed with a shoulder growth due to a previous injury. More alarming, she has multiple masses in her uterus, which the doctor called fibroids. While not indicating cancer, they are causing her to have frequent headaches and fatigue. If allowed to grow, they will become incapacitating.

An Anonymous Donor will Match Every Contribution Up to $500...LET'S STOCK PASTOR'S PANTRY

There's not much to eat, and the children are very thin indeed.  DAILY FOOD IS A CONSTANT DAILY STRUGGLE for Pastor Samuel and Josephine Omondi, and the #1 CHALLENGE for this ministry, as 20 orphans must be fed 1 MEAL every day.  ONLY $12.00 per day provides food and water for all of them.  Meals are normally boiled:  a porridge of boiled sweet potato flour (8 lbs. per day), or rice and beans, or cabbage and occasionally bit of meat.  The ministry has just started cultivating plants, like young banana plants years from bearing fruit, and collard greens from a root, and are saving all seeds.  Also, occasionally they get a fresh coconut if one falls from a tree on the plot of land they rent for $120 per month.  Water costs $12 per month, and electricity is about the same. They are raising a small flock of ducklings who eat up the maize.  If $12 does not come in each day, Pastor Samuel must to to market to buy on credit, and often, he and his wife will fast so that they can pray for the ministry and have more left over for the growing children, who are 13 down to age 1.
