Lives Touched at Benefit!

"As in the candle I know there is both light and heat, but put out the candle, and they are both gone."
- John Selden
Saturday evening, October 16th, 2010 was a very special and blessed night for Touching Lives Ministry. We were bursting at the seams in every way possible!
The Kenyan food provided by Alando's Kitchen was delicious and enjoyed by all.
The silent auction was filled with
Kenyan goods and original posters
based on pictures taken from
our July mission.
Dr. Scott gave a review how God led him to Wachara an placed a passion on his heart for the people there.
Katie moved everyone with the re-telling of her moving experience with Baby Dillon and his mother when she visited them in the hospital and humbled herself to follow Jesus' example by washing their feet.
And Kathi gave a short history of how Touching Lives started and where God is taking us in 2011. This culminated with a verbal picture of the very simplistic sketch that was submitted to the Kenyan architect designing the clinic. Kathi shared that we are praying to break ground on the building early next year, take a larger team the last two weeks of July (dates tentative at present, mission application form will available on the website soon) to do a medical camp, children's ministry, and construction, and, by God's grace, dedicate and open the clinic next fall!
There are so many people who gave selflessly to make this evening a success. The entire TLM board worked tirelessly along with Wendi, Art & Mary Ann, Sharon, Ian and so many others who stepped up to lend a hand when they saw a need. You are all a blessing! We also want to express our appreciation to Wawa convience stores for their donation that sweetened our coffee!
We thank God for all the doors He continues to open for TLM in Wachara. And we ask you to pray about how He would have you get involved. Our greatest need is prayer support! Thank you many times over for lifting this ministry to the Throne of Grace. You can also sponsor the clinic on a monthly basis by sending a check to Touching Lives Ministry, 214 W. 21st Street, Chester, Pa. 19013 with a notation that this is a monthly sponsorship. Or you can give a one time donation by going to the "Donate" page on the website. Please note that you can follow the progress of the building project by scrolling to the bottom of this blog and clicking on the "Subscribe" button.
God is the Author and Finisher of all we do and we pray daily that He will be glorified in and through Touching Lives Ministry.
