A new day for Mary

Several years ago, my friend Nick Korir started a ministry to the poverty stricken members of the slums around his home. People were pulled down by AIDS, prostitution, illegal alcohol brewing, and extreme poverty. It appeared as if no one in the slum was reaching out to help their neighbors in need.
It's been a learning process these past few years. Lahash is dedicated to assisting small ministries like Nick Korir's become empowered to reach their communities in the tradition and spirit of Jesus Christ.

On Saturday, Nick wrote of exciting news. "Today for the first time I have seen the community cooperating with SCF... more than 20 people came together with the renewal ladies (our sex worker recovery program) and they did cleaning at Mary's house. They washed the clothes and cut grass. We also brought her a new mattress and beddings. Really I have seen the hand of God reaching many people. Hope is alive really."

Mary is member of the community who recently was found extremely sick in her home. With the help of the Little Blue Ambulance, she was brought to the hospital. She was released home and is now in the care of the community - led by Nick at SCF. Thanks to all of you for your support.

The Little Blue Ambulance is in need of repairs, Nick has asked for $120 to repair the gear shaft. If you are interested in helping pay for these vital repairs, please make a donation to our office (or email us at info@lahash.net):

Please continue to pray for Mary - that she will have complete healing of mind, body, and soul.
