God is clearly moving and improving lives in Kenya!
As 2017 comes to a close, we want to thank all of you who are upholding this work in prayer and supporting SOHI financially.
This year SOHI has made substantial progress! An estimated 55,000 people benefit from the work of this ministry.
Lives are changing in the Karachuonyo region of rural Kenya! However, much more remains to be done.
We ask you to prayerfully consider continuing or increasing your support. Funding is the major limiting factor in SOHI’s impact in Kenya. WE NEED YOUR HELP!
