Update from the Huffmans & Mattaw Children’s Village

RECEIVED January 02, 2009 3:39 AM

We still continue to have our home felloship on Sundays which is still about 15 adults and anywhere from 20-30 children.  This month we had a visitor from San Angelo, Jim Farmer.  He went all around Kenya but did house to house ministry with our house dad Isaac.  They reached many people during this time.  Maybe around 25-30.  There was a lot of restoration and salvations.

Also our house dad and mom continue to reach out into the surrounding village and minister to people.  A lot of drunk people are coming to the Lord.  There was a mother that died a few weeks ago and we were able to go and rescue her baby.  There were also three other children that we’ll take into house #2 when it opens.  Our social worker is going into the village and finding the most desperate cases for house #2 now.

we now have a borehole!  praise the Lord!  we also finished house #2 and a strip of bathrooms.  we’ve had a lot of car problems this month and are now looking to trade it in for a newer one.  our next fund raising for the project will be for a school house.  now that we’ll be adding more children, our two school huts that are one room, wont be enough.  But God is so faithful to bring the funding as we need it!

what were our major acomplishments this month?  getting our borehole dug.  having christmas with our children.  getting house two finished.  getting house #1 finishing touches with construction finished.  many salvations in our area.

our vehicle had a lot of problems.  i cant say the exact problem because I dont remember the language.  Bud was talking about it but something about having to weld a hole back in the block on the engine.

we are now in Texas and will return the end of February.  We will have a team lead by the Dempsey’s during the first week of March.  We hope to welcome children into house #2 with them. 

please pray for the project to run well while we are away.  a lot of our children and house mom has malaria.  many of them keep getting so pray that would stop!  also for our time here in Texas.  We have a lot of places to visit so we ask that the Lord would make it a restful time and a good time of reuniting with our supporters.

thanks so much fbc keller family!  we are so greatful for your support and prayers!
