A New Need


Everyone needs help from everyone.
Bertolt Brecht


If you've been wondering how you can be a part of our July mission, we have news for you! We just discovered that we are in great need of children's chewable vitamins. The solid chewables are preferred as the gummy bear type tend to melt in the Kenyan heat and humidity. While this is our greatest need at the moment we could still use:
  • Adult vitamins
  • Infant vitamin drops
  • Children's ibuprophen
  • Topical creams (cortisone, neosporin, etc.)

God has and continues to supply all the needs for the mission. TLM thanks the many, many people here in the United States who have so generously allowed themselves to be a part of God's provision to the people of Ahero and Wachara, Kenya.

Asante Sana! (Thank you very much!)

At the end of the day, love and compassion will win.
Terry Waite



Touching Lives Ministry has witnessed an outpouring of both love and compassion  through the Birthing Kit Project. We had an evening of fun and fellowship but there was a real  sense of focus present as well. Forty four kits were made and by the end of the month there will be a total of fifty birthing kits ready to be delivered - all puns intended! To everyone who helped this project in any way, including those prayer warriors who were not geographically close enough to do the "hands on" of the project, know that your expression of love and compassion will effect generations in Kenya! God bless you for your faithfulness to Him and to the needy.

Birthing Kits

What does love look like? It has the hands to help others. It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want. It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men.
That is what love looks like.
Saint Augustine



Thanks to the generosity and love of so many, families in the Lake Victoria region of Kenya will be blessed with these birthing kits. Please join with us in praying for those whose lives will be touched
because you care.

Mission Update


There is a lot that happens around the world we cannot control. We cannot stop earthquakes, we cannot prevent droughts, and we cannot prevent all conflict, but when we know where the hungry, the homeless and the sick exist, then we can help.
Jan Schakowsky


We had another wonderful team meeting last night! The generosity of so many has been and continues to be a huge blessing to each of the team members! Asante Sana - thank you very much!

For anyone who might feel overwhelmed by the list of needs for the mission, it has been narrowed down a good bit. Here are some of the remaining needs:
  • Adult multi-vitamins
  • Topical creams and ointments (cortisone, antifungals, etc.)
  • Ibuprophen for children (chewable and liquid)
  • Multi-vitamin drops for babies
We have also decided to put light wieght receiving blankets in as many of the birthing kits as possible. So, please be on the look out at garage sales, flee markets, or sales in the stores!  And don't forget the Birthing Kit Assembly Party this Friday, June 11th at 400 Garden Lane, Aston, Pa. from 7:30pm to 10:00pm!

May God richly bless you as you help us help others!
