Joseph is part of a Pebbles and Stones group in Kenya lead by teacher Paul Barasa of Africa Hope Academy. In March, Joseph was admitted to the hospital where he underwent ankle surgery but, after nearly three months, his ankle was not healing properly so Teacher Paul asked for prayer.   

Not only did we join Teacher Paul and the group in prayer for Joseph, but we also sent funds which were used for a follow-up medical visit and a course of antibiotics.  Teacher Paul writes, "The gift you recently relayed to me [is] a great blessing. I used it for further medication and, thank God, Joseph has started walking without using the sticks to support him! This love is great to me. God bless you abundantly. Kindly remember us in prayer."

Teacher Paul is one of more than 200 leaders who attended the December 2014 training in Bikeke, Kenya and he immediately implemented the Pebbles and Stones ministry model in his community.  He is facing real need with lack of teaching materials, but even more so, his students are hungry.  At Pebbles and Stones we are thanking God for the privilege of adding Teacher Paul's school to our monthly support program.   This monthly gift of $150- provides a nutritious meal for all sixty-three students during their weekly Pebbles and Stones group meeting at Africa Hope Academy

We continue to stand in awe of the goodness of God in the lives of His children as we hear testimonies like Joseph's.  We marvel at God's ability to connect us with others around the world.  Thank you for continuing to partner with Pebbles and Stones to help meet spiritual, physical and emotional needs in the communities in which we gather.
