Leisha & Sam stop in Eldoret

Leisha Adams has been assisting with our finances for the past year here at Lahash. She and her father Sam are currently traveling across Kenya, and she stopped by the SCF offices in Eldoret to see Nick and the work being done there.

While she was there she visited and interviewed a couple of the individuals and families that are receiving assistance through the SCF Sponsorship program. She mentioned the following about their trip,
"We traveled to Eldoret that afternoon, expecting a five-ish hour car trip. The best thing I can say about that seven-hour, brutal ride is that it ended...at about eleven that night. Dad got the adventure of driving the rutted, undeveloped roads in the dark, during a thunderstorm, dodging potholes bigger than our Nissan sedan while peering through the pouring rain and steam rising up from the road.

Despite the trying trip there, Eldoret was a blessing, as always. We met up with Nick Kip Korir and Dr. Donald Oronje of Silas Christian Foundation (www.hopeforeldoret.org) and toured their new office space and Nick's home, which are now in the same building for security purposes. We met with friends Jeremiah Kitonga, Grace Mukami, and Regina Wanja in their homes. I was so blessed by their warmth and hospitality, and it was encouraging to me how encouraging it was to them that I had come back to see them."They've now arrived in Nairobi, and will be traveling tomorrow or the next day by bus to Tanzania. Please pray for the team as they travel.
