Ending the week in Olrongai....with FOOTBALL!!!
Hard working women....whatever their age Oh boy do the women have to be strong! They are the ones who work in the fields, bare the children, usually at least six.....look after the children...even in the fields, collect the water (which takes hours!).....find fire wood, clean and cook.... The men are busy looking after the one cow......or sometimes they don't have a cow!! If you ask a man what does he do he will tell you "I think". It sounds like we don't rate the men here...


Holy Spirit breaks in...on a Tuesday!!
Tuesday....What a day! One of the young men on the training, formerly a Muslim, suddenly got revelation as he listened to the teaching!! He asked to pray and invited Jesus into his life.... he was beaming from ear to ear as we prayed with him. Training for where there are NO doctors... We were teaching on stress management today when the Holy Spirit broke in. As a result many students were freed from the heavy burden of unforgiveness. We were so moved....such beautiful people


No water for 4 months....its a REALLY tough life in Olrongai!!
Sunday was another busy day, church in Miti Mingi, then lunch in the village at Paul and Martha's beautiful new house.

Situated on a dusty hillside....it's basically a collection of mud hut classrooms.... with stunning views out to Lake Nakuru in the distance. Gathima School has a special place in our hearts. On a previous visit we were inspired by Pastor Paul and his wife Lucy, who were so committed to their childrens' education that they decided to


PottersHeart teaching impacting lives!
Miti Mingi Football teaching completed We've had exciting news on the football team....especially as the conversations weren't all about football!. There was 100% attendance at every session....and all of the young men received a PottersHeart certificate. John and Darren did a brilliant job connecting with them. They talked about everything from relationships to Business Development..... to dreams and aspirations. They also had a training session for two hours on the bumpy, d


So different from the UK....
Another busy day in the Rift Valley. Today we heard a heartbreaking story from Kenneth. He looks after a Mum and a sister who are both unwell. His sister has mental health problems, and a heart defect. Last time we were here PottersHeart were able to help Kenneth to pay for his sister to go to a mental health centre. She was given medication and thankfully is feeling much better. He was so appreciative of what we'd done....it has quite literally given her a life back again. H
