A busy week at Lahash
The Imago Dei presentation went really well on Sunday, although I think the team was a bit tired out by the third service of presenting. We were able to connect with a lot of Imago Dei church-goers, and I've just been trying to follow up on all the new contacts this week. Part of preparing for that presentation was finishing up a version of the DVD - so let me know if you'd like a copy of that.


Child Sponsorship Program
There has been a quick response to the child sponsorship program in Tanzania. About half of the kids have already been chosen, and checks sent in for those. So this month the program will really be able to take off. If you are interested in sponsoring one of the kids, let me know by email as well so I can get the page updated. The photo above is of the Mennonite church there in Dodoma that is the home to this program. Jo French also emailed me three more pictures of kids. The photo to the left is of little Neema and her mother (HIV positive) at the church. Neema's not sponsored yet...

Kenya AIDS Apology
The Anglican Church in Kenya has made a public apology for shunning the members of the AIDS community in the past. This is really exciting news to see this happen. You can read the article here at BBC. I know that Nick especially has felt there isn't a huge response from the church community in Eldoret - even at this stage in the AIDS pandemic.
