Oh gracious God, bring my awareness to your works all around me in nature and in people. Help me see the kin-dom you have already established here on earth, and show me how to expand it so that all may see your glory. Amen.

*Thanks to Colleen Caldwell, Retired Deaconess from Alexander, Ark. for her prayer.

The Jerri Savuto Rescue Center in Kenya, where girls can go to escape FGM (female genital mutilation) and becoming child brides, is nearing completion!

The mission is going to be set up as a non-governmental organization (NGO) with board members from the NTC United Women in Faith, the UMC (US) clergy, the Women’s Fellowship of the Methodist Church in Kenya, and clergy of the Methodist Church in Kenya. Thanks to many generous gifts from United Women in Faith (you!) and the friends and family of Jerri and Bill Savuto, the building is almost finished now. Hopefully the girls will be living in the new center in the next few months.

Thank you to each and every one of you for your ongoing prayers and financial support!
