If you have been watching international news lately, you may have seen the terrible plight that has struck the nation of Kenya as a result of three years of continuous famine. The struggles there in some areas are tremendous, and our brethren in the Independent Presbyterian Church of Kenya have not been spared. Scarce food supplies and scarcer water have threatened to close the Mwingi Reformed Bible College, caused students to have to leave (there is no money for school fees - all must go toward buying food), and placed ministers and congregations in the difficult position of having to choose between feeding one's own family and supporting the Lord's work.
The situation has come to a crisis level, and PMU is launching a campaign to raise funds for famine relief, to be distributed by the leadership of our sister church in Kenya, the IPC. These funds will be used to purchase food, help the Bible College stay open, sustain ministers in outlying areas, and generally help keep body and soul together until the rains come again, and there can be a harvest. Will you help? Please download the attached flyer and post in your church or workplace, and help us assist our brethren who are suffering in the midst of this terrible famine. All funds earmarked for famine relief will be sent to the field, with nothing held back for our offices. Please call, email, or write for more information -- PMU has already sent some funds on their way, but much more is needed. $50 can feed a family for a month or more -- your partnership in this effort is greatly appreciated!
