William Booth, founder of the Salvation Army, said, “If I thought I could win one more soul to the Lord by walking on my head and playing the tambourine with my toes, I’d learn how!” While we may not attempt […]

Being able to give good things not only to the children of Kenyan, but also to their teachers and caretakers is a blessing to us. Many live in deep poverty along with the children, sacrificially giving their time and talents to […]
