Most of our fence is made of boma, thorn bush limbs.  It quickly dries out in the hot sun and continually needs to be replenished.  Even this doesn’t always keep the herds of cattle and goats out.  We have begun the fence around the kids’ school.  $18,000 is needed to finish the fence.Read More →

January 2010 three young women showed up at our school. They had walked from a village very far away to come and attend our school. The next class of students would not begin their studies until September and we had no place for them to live. They were insistent that they would not leave until they had finished our school. The only place Dominic had for them to live was the storage shed. This was the beginning of our rescue program. We had no idea what God was birthing. Here is the story of one of those women, told by Domenic: “Mary got born againRead More →

Every year at least 1/3 of our graduating class is women.  This year there are fourteen.  The question is often asked, “Why bother with women in a culture where they have no value?’  Education empowers women to make changes in their lives.  These women can now get even government jobs to support themselves.  They do not have to give in to tribal traditions that make them a tenth wife of an old man.  They go back into their villages and teach other women and the children.  They are making changes to bring the Maasai into the modern world.Read More →

Irene is the woman worshiping in the middle. Last year a group of nuns came to check out our school.  Irene was an orphan and had been in a difficult living situation with her sister who was married to a Maasai.  They believe if a woman is in their house they are there for their pleasure.  The Nuns thought she might be able to enroll in the Rescue Center.  She is 24 and we wanted to see if she would be able to handle the Bible College.  She has not only fit in but is doing excellent and will graduate in September.Read More →

Jacob has been with us since the beginning of the school.  He is the one who hand dug our 35’well.  Last year he was diagnosed with cirrhosis of liver and taken to the hospital to die.  Harry prayed for him and he has been steadily getting better.  He isn’t back to work yet but had his picture taken in the kitchen.Read More →

When it rains everything is green in just a few days, so you are seeing the result of the prior rain.  When the rain stops all the water quickly drains into the sandy ground.  Domenic wrote yesterday that he had a difficult time getting home from town, there a e places where the flooding is very deep.   You can see the post holes along the road outside the kids’ school.  They were going to put the posts in Monday and be finished by Friday but they won’t be able to get any trucks out for the delivery of materials until the flooding subsides andRead More →
