Amazing day. 7 men in our rehabilitation program have found new strength,  forgiveness, hope,  in Christ. It was a true joy to be a part of this special ceremony today.

How do you plant and grow 250,000 tree seedlings in a year? This past week at ELI Training Center in Ilula the land was fenced and prepared to begin the project and yesterday a special seminar on the subject was brought to our Ilula staff, 13 men now in rehab at the center, and over a dozen from Semit – a village where soil erosion is destroying the environment.

Today 13 men met again as part of a month long journey out of their addictions to alcohol and into a new life of freedom and purpose. Soon I will be able to provide more details about their specific lives and stories. For now we are asking you to join us in prayer – along with their families – for transformation that only God can accomplish in such cases. Our staff are prayerful, diligent, and consistent as they counsel, care, and guide this group of men through these days of detoxification and learning here in Ilula, Kenya. We appreciate you and your prayers during the journey.

Alfred Kirwa Yego came today to encourage the children in the race. During his talk with the kids he said “I encourage you all to pray always and put God first. Stay focused and committed to succeed in life.”
