Christmass Newsletter from
Manna Ministries Kenya!

As this current year beginning, we just want to say “thank you” to all who have supported God’s work through our organization past year.

This has been an exciting year for us as God continues to open up ways in which we can help those around us in the slums and now as He expands into the villages and cities as well.

*Because of your support, We have been able to supply meals to the children in our Children’s Homes!! That’s a lot of food!

*God has also supplied for a Ministry building In Kisumu rural and rented ISOB book office in Nairobi this past year and we were able to serve over 3000 people in Kisumu through conferences, and charitable services and over 10,000 through ISOB Discipleship Programs from our Nairobi Book Office who had needs, thousands of true and effective disciples made, a number of churches planted, hundreds of miraculous healings took place, people set free from bondages at the use of ISOBs Free To Be You books, amazing growth in the church and thousands of salvations took place through the distribution of gospel tracts printed through Tract League project and through Jesus Film showing and evangelism outreaches.

*We have also been able to provide 3 widows with new homes and yet helped repair over 30 old widows homes during the rainy seasons of last year. Helped 3 widows start small businesses and they are currently on their way to becoming self supporting. Many are on the waiting list to get started with small businesses if we could supply them with the funds ranging from $ 100 to $ 280 per widow. Business projects they can start ranges from Goat rearing, milk cow, selling vegetables, onions, tomatoes and grains etc, small farming, sell of second hand clothing, poultry and sewing machines .

*In December 2009, your support has purchased gifts for 122 children in our Children’s program near Kisumu – these are children who have had the worst possible things happen to them. What a blessing to be able to bring smiles to their faces this Christmas Season!

*In December 2009, your support also has helped arrange for Children Christmas party and tour , sports activities and teachings using ISOB Children Curriculum book called Power Team For Kids to 575 Children ages from 2 to 15 years olds in Kisumu rural village Kitmikayi at the Manna Ministry center.

We have plans to start a sewing training center where women will get training at our sewing centers so that they can go on to start their own small businesses or gain meaningful employment.

*Your support has allowed us to hold a Vacation Bible School in a remote hill station and over 400 children attended for a 3days learning about Jesus, playing games and experiencing nature.
