Reflections Upon a Challenging Year

The Christmas Holidays are a popular time to reflect upon the past year.  This year has been a challenging and rewarding year for the Bethel Children's Centre in Ruiru, Kenya.  Among the challenges were:  

• Kenya experienced great suffering from the recent drought.  Bethel took in nine new children, some of whose caregivers had died from starvation because of the drought.  
• ​Bethel build a new pre-school building to help teach and take care of young children at the Centre and in the community.​
• The mechanical pump on the well that provides water for the Centre broke, leaving the Centre without water for several days until the repairs could be made.
  
• A record number of students (20) will attend high school this year, which is a blessing, but the corresponding cost of tuition, room and board, books and transportation is higher now than it ever has been before.    
  

​The needs are great, but our God is greater, and He has continued to be faithful throughout these trials.
We at Huruma ask you to prayerfully consider making a gift to Huruma this year.  When you give to Huruma, you can be assured that 100% of your gift will go directly to support needy children in Bethel Children's Centre care in Kenya.  By giving, you can experience the joy of knowing that your gift has made an impact in the lives of these children.  But, more importantly, your gift is an investment in the future and can help transform the community.  The children at the Bethel Children's Centre have had their lives changed because of the generosity of others who provide love and care for their needs.  But, even more exciting is the fact that these children in turn are growing up into thoughtful and inspired leaders in their community.  
​We thank you for your consideration and covet your prayers as we seek God's wisdom on how we can best serve Him in the coming year.
