Supplies for Kenya

"If I look at the mass I will never act. If I look at the one, I will."
—Mother Theresa


For those who have been asking what the needs are for the medical camps in Wachara/Ahero, below you can find listed some things that are needed. If God puts it on your heart to help with any of these items you can contact Mark or Kathi at 610-876-5646 to arrange to either drop the items off or to have them picked up, depending on what is more convenient for you.

If you would like to send items or funds you can send them to 214 W. 21st Street, Chester, Pa. 19013. Checks can be written to Touching Lives Ministry. Donations are always tax deductible.

You, of course, need not make any prior arrangements to bathe the mission, team members, and family of the team in prayer! Thank you for partnering with us!

Touching Lives is Going to Kenya!



That's right! On July 17th we are leaving for Ahero and Wachara, Kenya! Darien and Kathi will be a part of a 20 person medical and children's mission team! We do have some prayer requests to share:

* Safety and health for the team members and their families
* That God would provide the necessary funds for the mission
* That God would provide a portable ultra sound machine in time for the mission
* Wisdom for the leadership of the team
* That we would clearly "hear" from God regarding the role of TLM in providing a full-time medical clinic for these villages.
* That God would receive the glory for what He is about to do in Kenya!

I will pass on any new prayer requests as they become apparent.

In His service,
Kathi
