Our morning was spent in preparation for the 1:00 RUN board
meeting. Unfortunately, we can’t just
run to the local Staples store and make our copies! We were invited to observe another table top
banking group at 10:00 and saw that each group seems to be as unique as the
people who participate in them. A
request had been made of us to provide each woman in the group with a
Bible. We prefer to give them out
individually as God leads us but in this instance it felt right, so we granted
their request.
The county surveyor made a site visit to mark off the land
to include a recently added public access road which changes the location of
RUN property somewhat. Unfortunately, he
could not locate all of the marker posts so this has been delayed . . . again :(
The RUN board meeting covered a lot of administrative
ground, catching up on the status of the replacement water pipes, the brick
making, our constitution and bylaws, and a small budget to suffice until we
return to the states. We cannot get a
bank account until RUN has been certified by the government of Kenya and to
maintain the integrity of the organization, the board was unanimous in its
decision that it was better to pay some fees to wire money as needed rather
than leave a large amount of cash behind.
We are so blessed to have each of these people on the board. As God brings them to your mind, please pray
for Acting Director Isaac Gikonyo,
Facilities Manager Samwel Wafula, Business Development Director Edith Bor, and
Accountant Grace Nziwa.
Please pray for these matters:
- We have a busy day ahead of us on Wednesday. It is our last full day in Sibanga and the “To Do” is impossible by Kenya standards. It may require the “conquer and divide” approach which we prefer not to take since we minister best as a team. Pray that God helps us to delegate as much as possible so that this day is less about checking things off a list and more about building relationships.
- Pray for our Kenya RUN board. All are uniquely gifted for their positions on the board but they need God’s wisdom for the daily challenges in order to establish the integrity of Rise Up Now in the community.
- Pray for our flight from Kitale to Nairobi on Thursday. We still have business to conduct in Nairobi and it is important that our flight not be delayed or cancelled.
