- NAOMI’S VILLAGE
Naomi’s Village (NV) is the orphanage that Bob & Julie recently founded (Mendonsa's blog). It is still under construction, is expected to be finished in January, and will become home to up to 100 orphans upon its completion. Our team of 13 incredible men and women will do various projects to help work towards the completion of the facility.
- INTERNALLY DISPLACED PERSONS CAMP
In 2008, nearly 3,000 men, women, and children were displaced from their homes due to post-election violence. They now live in tents or makeshift homes with no running water and electricity. We will have opportunities to love on and serve the people there including but not limited to story & music time with the preschoolers and a movie night at the camp. The Lord has opened up a huge door for Bob and Julie to do ministry among these people and we are eager to love on and learn from these men and women who literally have nothing, yet are filled with joy in the Lord.
- COMFORT THE CHILDREN, INTL
(www.ctcinternational.org): CTC is a school for children with mental and physical disabilities and their mothers. In Kenya, children with special needs are viewed as cursed and are virtually shunned from their communities. Not only does Comfort the Children offer a day program for these children, but they employ their mothers as well, thus providing income for them to take care of their children. Our team will have an opportunity to partner with CTC, local schools, churches, NGO's and the government for their monthly Ubuntu Day- an opportunity for the town of Maai Mahiu to work together to improve their living conditions. Pray also for opportunities we will have to encourage and bless the mothers and children who occupy CTC.
