OUT OF NOTHING TO SOMETHING

Surely God is faithful!! These were narrated by Anna as she recall how God helped her to educate her three children who were in High School. She is a widow with three children and a member of our Friends of Jesus Church "You can`t trust a person but God" said Anna . Anna live in Kibera one of the heavily populated slums in Kenya and the largest in Africa. Most people who live in this slum are poor and unemployed. Those working earn a salary less than a dollar a day, just as what Anna earn as a housemaid, this has made their lives to be hard and only looking up as they recall how God rescued the Israelites by sending Moses to deliver them from the hand of Pharaoh. "I know one day God will hear our cry'' this is what you can hear from this slum people murmuring . The live in the slum will only depend on one forgetting his or her needs and only focusing his eyes on things above the sky like manna that I sraelites ate . Sometimes there is no food, education, medical, clothes, shelter and hope. What do you do? As a church in the slum what we could do was to pray, pray and pray. God to do something to help these children to be in school. Some one had promised to help these children to get back to school, but it was invain. He never showed up but disappeared. Knowing that it was not his budden to help. How many times have we seen such kind of people? But can God forget us or run a way from us? We were so happy because people gave whatever small they had to educate these children. Two of them have finished their High school and performed so well. We are trusting God to provide fees for their colleges. One is still in school and we trust God to continue touching people to help. I know it is hard just someone to give but through the grace of our Lord God we trust God will help. What man can not do God do!! God bless you. Anna
