The Next Step?...Forward!

Our Mission
I am prepared to go anywhere, provided it be forward. I determined never to stop until I had come to the end and achieved my (God's) purpose.
-David Livingstone
If a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step then it must continue with many, many following steps. Yesterday, TLM/TLK took another step toward our November ground breaking and the beginning of the construction on Phase One of the Sanjweru Medical Center project. We received the results of the geo-physical survey! There are two more small steps to be taken and we will be ready to drill the well for the hospital - and just in time for the ground breaking! All in God's good and perfect timing!
We are so grateful to our extended TLM family for committing to travel this road with us. Here are a few "stepping stones" for you as we move toward the vision and calling God has put on our hearts:
- Pray for God's will, God's timing and God's provision
- Encourage others to pray by telling your family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, and church family about what God is doing
- Stayed tuned for information about our fall benefits
- If God's leads, visit the Donate page on our website to find out how you can donate funds for the well or the building project
By God's grace and with you beside us we will persevere to the end -
God's end!
...we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces
perseverance;
and perseverance, character; and character, hope.
Now hope does
not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured
out in our hearts by the
Holy Spirit who was given to us.
Romans 5:3-5

One Life Changed by Another
"The measure of a life, after all, is not its duration, but its donation."
-Corrie Ten Boom
Last September we shared the story of "Michael," a young many who had lived twelve of his fourteen years walking with painfully disfigured feet due to severe burn he sustained as a toddler. Due to the
generosity of our supporters he was able to be transported to a hospital twelve hours from his home to have surgery to release the top of his right foot, which had become fused to the bottom of his leg. By God's grace he had no complications from the surgery. Finally, by the end of June his foot had completely healed and he received the orthopedic shoes that are helping him to walk with little to no pain! Much like a toddler who is learning to walk, "Michael" (whose actual name is Stephen), is learning to walk with his new shoes and without crutches. His life has truly been changed for his good and God's glory! Please continue to pray with us for Stephen as he literally walks in this gift that God has given him.
As we prepare for the November ground breaking on Sanjweru Medical Center. The board and officers of Touching Lives Ministry want to thank all of our supporters and volunteers for giving, in so many ways, to minister to Stephen and many others like him in the future. Soon we will be sharing with you some of the specific ways you can be a part of our free medical camp in November. Until then, we would encourage you to meditate on Christ's words to His disciples in Matthew 25: 31-40. Many lives are being changed because you care - even yours!
