Dear First name / Friend We're back in the States with an incredible praise report from our time in Kenya. We had over 300 women attend our Kingdom Entrepreneurs (KENYA EDITION) 3-day women's event. We equipped and empowered these beautiful women! God surpassed anything we were able to imagine. The IDC International Team and the framework Andrea Goodman did was the Lord! We were so grateful to partner on this. |

The testimonials keep pouring in: "My life is forever changed" "The Holy Spirit was in that room" "My mind has been expanded" "We've never been poured into like this" "We are so blessed by your team" "I feel SEEN" … and the list goes on. There was a MOVE OF GOD in that room. We even had women, the first day, give their lives to Christ! The attendees think we were blessing them, but we left feeling more than blessed! These women live with many limitations compared to what we have here in the US, yet they are filled with the JOY of the Lord. We were greeted many times with songs and a level of hospitality that's hard to explain. The event attendees ranged from widows who don't yet have a job and are struggling to survive, to highly regarded business owners (such as those in a daycare facility). One thing each of the women has in common - they are all heart-centered leaders through and through. They all came to better their situations and leave a lasting impact on the next generation. It was hard to leave them. |

With the use of the funds collected from generous donors like you, and the IDC International Team, we were able to partner with the Lord and BLESS the people in Kenya in many ways, including: - A 3-day Kingdom Entrepreneur Event, with lunch daily for over 300 women. We equipped and empowered these future Esthers and Deborahs, especially. We had worship, group work, connection activities, and teachings from each of our Boots on the ground team. God did such an incredible work in their hearts.
- They also value education in a way I've never seen, and this starts at a young age. It costs $500.00 per year in the US to send them to elementary school. The PRIORITY is to cover their school costs first. Over any material possessions. Including toys, blankets, furniture, a stove, and a refrigerator. That said we were able to cover an entire year's tuition for 15 of the orphans. Keeping their photos hidden for privacy. Also purchased a refrigerator and stove for their home!
- Ten sewing machines for the widows to start their business, so they can begin to bring in income. We have also established resources to train them on how to use the machines in collaboration with our excellent indigenous partners on the ground. Pictured below is a large group of widows. We also prayed over each of them. Loved our visit!
- We were able to complete a clean water well with a pump and a tank, which will serve 3,600 homes (pictured below). This project will also eliminate many cases of typhoid fever by giving them a clean water source. Here is the first of many steps below. They can already collect the water with jugs right now! Thank you Jesus!
- We were able to bless a local Kenyan sewing business and hired them to produce personalized blankets for all the orphans. Their identity in Christ matters. They also desperately want to feel SEEN.
- Stuart hosted and ran a 3 Day Deliverance conference for pastors in Kenya, along with Dan Goodman. They were given lunch daily and free tickets to this impactful event. We have also received praise reports back from them! In addition, we paid to have over 200 Freedom, Healing, and Deliverance Manuals printed for every pastor. Equipped with the knowledge and understanding, they can now lead their own communities into freedom.
Also, Cathy was able to minister prophetically to many pastors and leaders. As the team prayed, they saw many people physically healed. Praise God! We're so proud of our Kenya family and our dear partners Pastors Gideon and Evelyn along with their leaders. They were able to mobilize like never before and together we all saw heaven on earth. Watching this IDC International team was one of our highlights, as we saw them experience many things for the first time, including healing others, moving in prophetic words, and preaching for the first time. It was such a joy and left our hearts so full.
We want to THANK YOU all for your prayers and support for the ongoing work of Mission Support Network. We are celebrating 17 years and all we can say is to God be the glory! Blessings, Stuart and Cathy |
