Vacation Bible School - Kericho, Kenya
Each year for the past 5 or so years, Pastor Jonah Kipkorir has organized and raised funds to host a vacation bible school on a quarterly basis. The vacation bible school lasts for a week and is hosted for a very special group of students. The students attend a Rehabilitation Centre which is basically where they live and attend school. Many of them have no parents and many of them do not know the Lord...some of the children are of Muslim backgrounds.
This is a chance for the local christian community to show love to these forgotten children and to instruct them in the Bible through fun activities and learning. The children enjoy it very much. Please see scenes of the last vacation bible school held in August, 2007

Pastor Jonah told me yesterday that they do not have any funds for the vacation bible school they would like to have next month and so it is in danger of being cancelled altogether. This would be a big loss not only for the children but for those that have come to participate and lend support yearly, including the Bible college teachers who lend their time for this worthy outreach. The school costs approx. $400-$500 for each session...if you can help on an urgent basis, please send funds via Pay Pal to pennyjoy@gmail.com alternatively you can send the funds directly to Pastor Jonah via Western Union..contact details: Kericho, Kenya, email: Kericho120@yahoo.com for further info see: http://jonahsmissions.blogspot.com/
May our heavenly Father bless you richly as you pray and consider your giving...In his service, Penny
