I am requesting you to help us church building. My vision is to build enough church so that we can start another project may be a nursary school next year.
our church is very small please help us. We have receved 45 children we are very happy in the word of God they memolize verses they represented as a concernt exprassing a good samaritan Luke 10:25-37. We wish if you will build the church the whole room will be enough for them to use.
I have talk with the engineers the have told me the estimate for the building is KSH.750 000 ($9,591.00US ) that is the information i have. my church members have saluted to your family.
Yours thomas._______________________________________________________________

Dear bro, Paul,
Greetings, thanks for the great work, we have the bricks now and we pray for our brothers and sisters who were sick, we are like mud which the potter uses to make pots.
our father can make us the way he wishes. we still love them and wish them nice time.
I have asked the sellers of sand they agreed one lorry is 15000 ksh we need to start with three which is 45000 ksh in this process we can start the build with 15 cements one costs 900ksh = 13500ksh .
this will bring total amount 58 500 ksh. (This is $750.08USD)
we pray for this many have seen God is great .
thanks yours thomas.

Dear bro, Paul,
Greetings,thanks always to GOD for the love to us in every day life, the problem of the building will be done by our LORD and in this I have planned this way that the monthly surpport half of the money I will open a bank account and save the money, this will take about two years for the building.after this we will be collecting monthly tenths and add them to the account.this will help us.we pray God will help us to reach the need.
I have tried to reach the ministries in usa who are church constructors but they give false idear and others can give some ministries in kenya which can help but after writing to them they say they have alot of work so am praying that this plan will help us I will end up saying be blessed and let GOD BE OUR LIGHT AMEN.
Yours thomas.__________________________________________________________________

In 2008, CIC has been able to purchase bricks and send the $750 needed for sand and cement. However, the building has yet to be started due to the major cost of construction. As per the last communication, Pastor Thomas has determined to set up an account and save for two years for this project. There is much more to say about this project, but space is limited.

If anyone desires to help build an inexpensive church building in Kenya, please see me.
