Being a kid is hard. Its hard in any country you are

in, but especially difficult in a third world country.

The pressures and responsibilities of kids here are

vastly different than those of the majority of kids in

the US.

Here, from a very young age, kids are expected to

help in their household. Its common to see a five

year old carrying around their six month old sibling

and taking care of them while their parents work. A

child as young as two or three may walk long

distances to collect water for their family. An eight

year old may start the fire and cook morning tea and

porridge for the family and cook rice and beans in

the evening Teenagers often work to help support

FAMILY: Greetings from the Orwas

Prayer Requests: We are in great need of a

car for both ministry and

our family use. So far we

have raised about 25% of

what we need.

For God to work

through the medical

outreach camp in Kenya.

Also for patience and

flexibility as Eli goes with

us, that he does well

when out of his routine. For the leaders of Africa

Harvest of Hope, Alan

and Shannon Reed as

they raise funds for the

orphanage stateside.

Preparations for the

upcoming weekend youth

camp.

For favor as we search

for the land for the

orphanage.

Praise Report:

Our support was up

last month and we

were able to set

aside funds for

basic lab

equipment!

Great fellowship

and growth with

the congregation at

Yesu Anaweza

Good health for all

of us.

Ministry Opportunity We are excited to be going to

Kenya in the beginning of August.

Even while God has us in

Tanzania, we still look for

opportunities to serve in Kenya,

Georges home country. Th is

time, we will be helping in a

medical camp set up in a rural

area, serving those who may not

have the resources to seek

Let no one despise or think less of you because of your youth, but be an example for believers in

their families needs.

The most pressing need for familys is school fees.

School is not free and if you dont have the money

to pay, you dont go to school. If you dont go to

school, your chances of finding a job are very slim.

Schools can cost as little as $100 per year, but that is

often way more than a family can afford. Most

barely make enough for food. So imagine being

faced with the stress of sending five kids to school.

The kids feel the stress as much as the parents do.

We recognize how hard life is here for the youth.

We also realize they need help to get through it all.

Most of all they need the Lord. So, in an effort to

reach out to these kids, well be hosting a weekend

youth camp the last weekend in August. The kids

will come Friday to Sunday. Well give them food,

lodging, good fellowship and lots of time for Bible

Study and times of prayer and worship.

Our desire is that they meet Jesus that weekend and

commit to a life that honors him and makes a

difference in their house and communities. Life is

hard, but its so much better with God. Pray for us

as we prepare for this weekend. Ask God to use us

and speak to their precious hearts.

Love,

The Orwas

medical attention.

We met the leader of the

ministry last year after being

connected by mutual friends

from the US. He and the team

coming are from Southern

California. They have done this

before and expect to see over

1500 people.

Not only will those peoplereceive the medical help they

need, they will also get a chance

to hear the gospel as well. This

type of ministry is right up our

alley and we are honored to

help them out. George will be

working as the lab technologist

and I will help out as much as I

can while looking after Eli.

FellowshipThings are going well at Yesu

is going great. They are almost

finished with the book of James.

Stacies womens group is going strong

as the ladies are learning to open up.

Its also important to us to help out

with the physical needs of the people

around us. As our monthly support

grows, we are able to do that more

and more. We have been able to do

home visitations and leave them with a

small gift. Next week we are going to

This coming Sunday, we are hosting a

tea fellowship following the church

service. We want the congregation

to stay and spend time talking with

each other and growing as brothers

and sisters in Christ.

All of this we wouldnt be able to do

without those in the US who pray for

us and financially support us. Thank

you for being a part of Gods ministry

here. We are so blessed by you all

and many here are blessed by you as

well.

God Bless you!
