ARISE AND SHINE - TILL HE COMES!!

PROJECT ACTIVITY is underway again, this time within the Dairy and Poultry Projects.  Tyndale School once again contributing to the building of a new wing of the Poultry House, this time to accommodate more Layers.    Work has already begun, and is hoped to be completed by the Team that is expected to arrive around 5th July.       Tyndale has also provided for another Milker for our Dairy, and she arrived yesterday.     She is in calf, and right now is making a real racket 'mooing' away in protest at being taken from her family and old home.  
She is reputed to be a good Milker, and makes up our little herd to be three in number.

AND, to conclude, here is a photo of the latest Tomato Crop growing in the first half of the Greenhouse.     They are also beginning to fruit, and we shall probably begin to harvest in a week or two's time.     They look healthy, and with a promising yield.     In the 2nd half of Green house a 2nd crop is already planned and growing well.     Tomatoes are in great demand, and eaten both raw and cooked in the majority of main meals.    They area also quite expensive, so we save a lot in being able to grow our own, plus other vegetables.

To the left is Mike and Danni Potter circa 1988, now Recently 
GRANDPA & GRANDMA Potter!!     Their loving friendship and inspiration in Jesus continues to demonstrate itself in their personal and professional lives.

Even the GREEN HOUSE was provided by their interest, and the goodwill and unforgettable enthusiasm of Tyndale School students and staff.   Together you have taken Kenya and TFH not only into your own hearts, but into the hearts and lives of countless others old and young living in Australia.   

We all look forward to your soon arrival once again, and trust the rain will remain at night so that days can be bright and joyful to work, play and fellowship in.

General Updates  - just to keep you up to date!

ME, myself, am now mobile and currently without pain or 'sign' of the kidney stones that so suddenly put me out of action.    They are still with me - I think - but will have a further scan towards the end of next week to confirm.     I do Thank the Lord for raising me up, and keeping me up.

James 'Manu' is also OK.     His Diabetes Test proved negative which is a relief.    His eye is recovering from the hurt and he is waiting and hoping for a good prognosis when he sees the Consultant again next month.      He has not been able to read or watch TV too much, and he has also felt a bit prevented from travel.  But he is in good spirits.

Dan Ndungu also continues to be up and about, and has just completed his mid term exams at School.   He has been accepted for free surgery, and is near the top of the waiting list - but he is looking SO healthy, and we continue to hope that he will finally avoid an operation

Transport - both of the Home's vehicles, the Voxy and the Nissan are both off the road, and have been for some time.    Both have received considerable use, and excessive wear.     The Nissan was already 2nd hand when we received it, in  1994/5,  and we bought a re-reconditioned Voxy in

2012.  Actually it not had not been a great inconvenience as we are now 'inside' the Town boundaries and most public transport needs are cheaply available.       The School buses are all still on the road - so far!

ABOVE a photo of some of the local and Homes' Children presenting a traditional dance during the School Parents & Prize Giving.    This year's event is not too far away, and has been brought forward to the 22nd July in order to permit the School to close a week early to make sure it shuts  by the time the National Elections take place early August.

Much Love to you all,     We pray for you all, and for all of the United Kingdom.    So much tragedy and disquiet everywhere, so many uplifted voices speaking self righteously without respect or honour toward any.      Whatever their real politics may be I have felt pity for the Queen and the Prime Minister in these days.      Whatever faults may be found for them in the hearts of their people, surely some honour, some courtesy and respect should be afforded them.      But this is definitely NOT that kind of world - even here in Kenya.     A disturbing world.    Indeed.    A roaring sea of raucous and discontented voices, often unemployed, even uneducated.      An almost 'lawless' world society where neither the governments nor the people rule, and where the only true stable reference point is in danger of being totally forgotten, let alone referred to.      Even so COME Lord Jesus.

God Bless and keep YOU in perfect peace, resting in HIM.

John Esther and Daryl Green
