Sex Worker Season in Eldoret Kenya
It's time to harvest wheat and maize (corn) in the highlands of Eldoret, Kenya. This means a large influx of truckers coming into town to carry away the grains, and extra money for the farmers in town. Unfortunately, this also means the "parking girls" or prostitutes of the nation flock to Eldoret. AIDS and STDs are transmitted. Nick and the team there will be speaking and counseling the women and men of the area to avoid these behaviors - the behaviors that lead to death.

Nick spoke with a coffin builder the other day, who said he actually prays for the people of the region to become sick and die - he says he needs money for his kids school fees. "Bwana, imagine what people can say!" writes Nick.

Oronje's son Ferdinand is sick at the moment, and they ask for prayer for his health.

Mama Margaret wanted to share this note with the team:
''As you abound in everything - in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in all diligence and in your love for us - see that you abound in this grace also. God is able to make all grace abound towards the Lahash team, that you always have sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work you are doing."
