What Kenya Relief is Doing in Kenya and How You Can HelpWhat follows is a letter from Steve James, Here's a picture of Steve and the letter 
I have brought teams to Kenya for seven years and many times have heard personal narratives from Kenyans and Americans describing the impact the trips have made on their lives. As I reflect today, one story in particular comes to mind. It was the 2006 trip when I first heard of a young girl of 16 living alone in a mud hut not far from our compound. I went with others to visit and assess the situation and my heart was overwhelmed with concern. She had no family or neighbors to look out for her, the dung hut had dirt floors, no source of light, no water or furniture, completely devoid of any comfort except a few broke dishes. I found myself wondering if someone had found my daughter in such dire needs would they have reached out and help her? I ask Nancy to come back with us but she was hesitant. As the sun set we left Nancy in pitch darkness and made for the compound, knowing she had only a small latch on a broken door that would serve as no resistance to a determined predator.
The next morning I was greeted by Nancy, she had come to look for me. She told of how she heard a drunken man stumbling around and trying to enter her house but said “God must have been looking down, for the drunk left for some unknown reason.” She remained frighten all night worried he would return and rape her. As we walked toward the Brittney’s Children Home she shared these words I will never forget, “You were sent by God to save me and your coming has restored my confidence in God that he hears the prayers of those who cry out for help.”
Today Nancy has finished high school and is taking computer classes. She wants to continue in school and someday be a nurse in Kenya. Nancy’s story is just one example repeated over and over again when the poor and downtrodden have ask God for help and He sends His teams all over the world to minister. Kenya Relief is honored to partner with you in making a difference today that will leave a legacy of hope now and in future generations.
In His Service

You Can Help Make a Difference
In Kenya the need for medical care is overwhelming. Kenya Relief and its supporters have vowed to make a difference. Kenya Relief currently sends about 10 teams per year and each medical team has been able to see on average of 1,000 patients per team. So far each team has been able to deliver free medical care and prescriptions to the many in need. The average cost endured by Kenya Relief is currently $5.00 per patient. This could not be possible without the help of many people just like you. It’s hard to imagine that you could possibly save a life for less money than it would cost you to see a movie or eat out. Please consider making a donation towards your teams medical cost. The need is great but together we can make a difference.
