Dear beloved friends.
We’ve just come back from a visit at the hospital.
In the hall we met the Director of the hospital who’s American. He asked if we were the people who helped the family and transported them to the hospital. When we confirmed this he took our hands and cried.
We thanked him for the magnificent work they’d done to save these precious persons. He then answered that it alone was the Lord’s doing.
We all know that this is indeed a great miracle them being still alive after such severe burnings.
We were able to take some pictures.
All 3 are in intensive care, and a nurse comes every 10-15 min. plus a family member at each bed or rather tent, since they all are lying naked with blankets over them, as you can see on the photos.
The hospital fee’s around 27 $ pr. person pr. day which means 81$ a day for all 3 plus medication and other things.
Without you it wouldn’t be possible, and of course our precious Jesus who knows all this and will truly bless you in abundance. Torkild and I don’t know how to thank you enough.
We do believe that their chances for survival are really great, since each day small progress is happening.
Thank you so much dear friends and May God Bless you.
Love from
Torkild and Tabitha.
The father disappeared and they have had no contact with him for several years. Ruth is a bright girl in school. Her school decided to sponsor her schooling because they are really poor. For various reasons the school recently shut down and Ruth had to find another school.
The mother cannot afford to send Ruth to another school. Ruth’s grandfather is a Maasai and he wants to have her back in Maasai land. He does not want a girl to get eductaed, but instead follow the Maasai traditions for girls: to be married. Maasais think that only boys should get educated.
Ruth’s mother told me that Ruth’s grandfather had received an offer from an elderly, wealthy Maasai who wanted to pay a very large dowry in the form of many cows in order to marry Ruth. Ruth had been desperate because she wanted to stay in school, get her education and choose her husband when the time was ripe. For this reason the mother and Ruth came to our office asking for help.
We trusted God and sent Ruth to a good, Christian school where she is thriving.
We received a sponsor who will support her until Form 4 is completed. But Ruth wishes to continue for another two years and graduate from High School. If any of you would like to support Ruth for a few more years please write us or send a gift to our missions account. Please earmark it “Ruth”.
