Vlad and Sergey made 2 desks and a bench for the school last week. For this purpose we bought some boards, delivered them to the mission base (as there is electricity there,while at the school building there isn’t) and made the desks there. We wanted to deliver everything at once, but no such luck. Taking into account that at the moment it's the rainy season in Malindi, and at this time it is not easy to take a tuk-tuk ride in Furunzi, you can get stuck in the mud. Today, it had not rained since the night and had dried out a little by noon. We decided to use this to take the desks to school. The desks and the bench were transported on the roof of a tuk-tuk vehicle. Thanks to Vlad and Sergey for doing this good deed for the school in Furunzi. Bring life mission is very much grateful to you!

What do missionaries in Kenya do during quarantine? Like almost all over the world, in Kenya since the end of March quarantine was introduced and many people lost their jobs. However, unlike countries we come from, where people usually have at least small savings, or the last salary is enough for at least a month. Here, many Kenyans have only daily wages, that is, for what they earned today, they buy food for tomorrow or maximum enough to get by for 2 days is- that's all. Therefore, this pandemic is a real test promising hunger for local residents. But thanks to caring and sympathetic people, missionaries in Kenya help at least several poor families who don’t have enough money to buy food for their children. In particular, Bring life team organizes distribution of grocery sets to families of students from a school in Furunzi (a poor suburb of the city of Malindi), as well as to children from our teenage group and beyond. And this is very encouraging for them since when they receive food, they see that they are not alone, God helps through good people, and this gives strength to move on. And it is also very encouraging, because we not only bring food, but also pray and talk with people and sometimes sing songs together (which is why all the neighboring children gather around us). This is a great privilege - to give joy and become an occasion for gratitude to God, in this difficult time. Thanks to everyone who participates in our ministry through prayers and finances, together we change lives. And we are very glad that an amazing team of Vlad Kanashin, Sergey Kanashin, Albina and Marina gathered here during this quarantine. You are a great blessing and joy to us.
