So I think I can assume that you have already watched the video and now have heard Mildred's story. My team and I met Mildred and Samuel last month in Bungoma one day while we were visiting homes in the area. We were deeply impacted by her situation and struggle. As we are trying to live out the verses in Isaiah 58:
"Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen:
to loose the chains of injustice
and untie the cords of the yoke,
to set the oppressed free
and break every yoke?
Is it not to share your food with the hungry
and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter—
when you see the naked, to clothe him,
and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?
We saw an opportunity to provide a widow and her son with a home. Not even that, but just having shelter to live in on the land will provide her the ability to farm and earn provisions for herself and her son. As we have sought to share the Gospel and as we preach, here we were presented with an opportunity to live it out. As James says, "Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by what I do."
So we are looking to raise $1400 to build a house. Only $1400 dollars and Mildred and Samuel will have a home and a life. Please, please join with us and be a part of physically living out the Gospel.

Below is a breakdown of what the costs will be for the construction. We have decided to raise a little more and make it an even $1400 in case of any unforeseen costs. If anything Mildred and Samuel will be blessed with whatever is left over:
