The Rogers' Family Neighborhood

Today we have traveled from morning to evening visiting various sites where ELI has partnered with needy friends in villages around our Kipkaren Training Center.  Our last stop was in Matunda where a group of about 23 people have invited ELI staff to partner and train their group in agriculture and poultry.  ABOVE are photos of Isaac Ruto as he trains and motivates people to break the cycle of poverty in their homes and their village.

Yesterday we visited the milk cooling plant ELI helped establish here in Kenya that is helping thousands of local farmers as well as generating about $700 profit that goes to support our orphanage in Kenya!

A few days ago our Kenya management team met for two days of prayer and planning. We are building a cohesive team – dedicated to seeing lives empowered.

We appreciate your prayers as we begin an important two day meeting with the key management team of Empowering Lives Kenya (12 people). During Wednesday and Thursday we will be meeting in the Kerio Valley to pray together and set goals and vision for this year end and into 2011. Ephesians 2:10

We are pretty joyful to have Amy’s parents with us as of yesterday.  They arrived safely from ustate NY and are adjusting to the time zone and the many differences here in Nairobi, Kenya. Tomorrow we begin our journey up to Eldoret with a brief stop over at the Kakamega Forest in route. This is Dicks second time here (Last time was 12 years ago!) and Ellies’ first time.
