Jambo Grace Family!
Recently our secretary, Shauna, shared our vision for this nonprofit ministry with a Rev. David Njau whom, working with Destiny International, has over 20 years experience working in Kenya with destitute children. At this point, Rev. David would like to further investigate ways of strategic collaborations and partnerships as well as possibly planning a mission trip together with a medical component soon. Rev. David has contacted a partner of his in Kenya named Rev. Francis Ngugi of Sword Of The Spirit Christian Center in a town named Limuru. Rev. Francis came to Missouri Evangelical Seminary where he received his Master in Divinity before returning to Kenya to serve in the ministry. I will include parts of Rev. Francis' response to David's inquiry regarding partnering with GFM as it is so exciting as well as informing on the current situation for those living in Kenya, still suffering the consequences of the political violence. Please help us pray that God uses this partnership to further His vision for serving needs and creating safe communities and homes to place the thousands of orphans living in Kenya and throughout Africa. May our next mission trip, coming up soon, bring us to Rev. Francis' town of Limuru in which we can help the displaced children there receive food and the many other welfare needs they often go without, while building a partnership that leads to these children's communities becoming a reality; may we bring new life to them; may this be a stepping stone.
Also; I had a meeting with our new attorney who has been working on our Incorporation packet (articles, bylaws, applications). The secretary of state's office should have it soon and process quickly as we have paid to expedite our paperwork. Anytime now we will be able to officially add the Inc. to our name and begin our 501(c)3 journey!
Love and Blessings,
Bobbi Jo Miller

Rev. Francis Ngugi Email:
"At this time of the year, receive New Year greetings and Calvary love from myself, family and the church in Kenya. The Lord has been good so far and we trust in His faithfulness for the future. But I am so glad that the Lord continues to put it in your heart to reach out to your brothers and sisters in Kenya for ministry to the Lord."
"We do welcome your noble and Godsend idea of starting something of orphanage type to cater for the disadvantaged in our society. Indeed this can mean a lot to our people and whatever the Lord moves in your heart to do, I promise to support you 100% and to bridge your ministry in US to Kenya."
"As you know a lot of displaced people from Eldoret, Molo, Burnt Forest and Narok came for refuge in Limuru, we have a big number of orphans surrounding us, even in our church."
"Pray for our country because a wave of famine has hit the land due to lack of adequate rains last year...food has become the rarest commodity in the country.
Finally, my family loves you so much and you are ever in our prayers.
With much love."
Your's in the Lord's Service,
Rev Francis Ngugi
Sword Of The Spirit Christian Center
