Water: Note from Jamie

I wanted to take a moment and thank everyone at NMC, NLF and beyond for the support they have given to the baby center. God has taken us on an unbelievable ride over the last two years. We have went from having very little vested in this project to being heavily vested. God has taken ordinary individuals and given them a burning passion for the “throw away children” of Kenya. NMC has went from having a very small voice to having one that is being heard in board and leadership meetings. One of our goals has been to create income streams to help sustain the center within Kenya. Over the next year the water and farm projects will be monumental in reaching the goal. We should have a well drilled within the next week and be on our way planting more cash crops at the farm. Things are happening quickly and I’m honored to be a part of it. There are so many of you who need a big THANK YOU! I knew our church was generous but I never understood how generous. Even in the most depressed economic times many of us have ever seen the resources keep coming in. God is good all the time! I will keep the blog updated on the water progress. I cannot wait for that first load of water to be delivered FREE! One of my greatest pleasures during this project has been watching new team members develop “baby center fever”. Its not a bad thing but an anointing of the holy spirit on them. Watching people of all walks of life get their hands dirty for these little ones is a God thing. We have people who pay for their own trips, people who get support from others, people who sell their cows to come, people who save for years to come. The point is if you are willing He will provide. I want to thank our most recent team for making our trip one to remember. When you laugh and cry together you develop quite a friendship. I challenge those of you who are thinking of getting involved in a mission to “get in the game”. You will not be disappointed because Jesus will never disappoint you. Jamie A. Lengacher
