Ministry Update - Bryce Homes Kenya

 

Since the establishment of the Bryce Homes Kenya Program in November of 2011 we have seen God's hand extended in a miraculous way to support widows and orphans who are living in hopeless situations. Fifteen homes supporting over 120 children have been set up and are presently overseen by Pastor Achilla, Pastor Nelson and Walter, our business manager.
 

Recently, Bryce Home 10 burnt down as a result of a fire that started from a cooking stove spark late in the evening. All of the children escaped unharmed but the house and contents were totally destroyed.

While we plan to rebuild the house, we want to do so in a way that precautions will prevent such a disaster from happening again. Instead of a two room home where the cooking is done on the floor and in a room inhabited by children and adults, we have had Walter design a three room home with a cooking area and a special stove that has a chimney allowing smoke to escape directly outdoors. The cost of a complete home with the cooking facility will be approximately $1600. Several of these homes are in very remote areas.
 

At least 8 of the fifteen homes we are supporting are in dire need of being replaced. All of the homes face the fire hazard that has been described. Understand The Times and Lighthouse Trails are partnering together in this project. We will provide cooking stoves first and eventually replace the houses as funds become available.
 

Deborah Dombrowski has put together an excellent report describing exactly what we plan to do. You can read this report at http://www.lighthousetrailsresearch.com/blog/?p=9296 .
