… PRAYER FOCUS: KENYA

Gary and Mary Reid say that further rains fell on the Loita Plains last weekend. This is such a blessing to the local Maasai, and those whom the Reids work with in Olkinyiei, as most have lost much of their livestock. The plains that have been dry and barren for months are once more turning green with new, vibrant growth. Gary has the spring capped and the water is flowing! The young Maasai men have enjoyed learning how to mix concrete and the Reid children have enjoyed helping too! It’s been a good time to build relationships and to witness. Prayer Points: (a) Thanks for the rain and for the capping of the spring. (b) That many Maasai in Olkinyiei will come to trust in Jesus as their Saviour and Lord.
