A plastic tank that holds 500 gallons of water, is approximately $350.00. We would like each church to have this. They put it at the corner of the roof to catch rain water. Then they use the water to wash dishes, or to clean the church. This helps them not to have to carry water from such a long distance.

Many groups meet under the trees or under a torn piece of plastic to worship, because they have no building. Under the hot sun, and in the rain, it creates many problems, and keeps many people from coming to the meetings. Through generous donations, we have been able to build 11 churches for people to worship in.

This is the new church @ Ebirende, Kenya. They had about 45 members when the church was built, but they have more than doubled the membership in one year.

Many more people attend, when their is a church building to come to. The sun and heat, and the rainy season, keep many people away from church, but when their is a building, no matter how simple it may be, the attendance increases dramatically.

To build a block church, 28 x 40, with windows, concrete floor, and 2 small rooms which can be locked, on either side of the platform, is approximately $9000.00. This includes 4 pit toilets, pupit, and benches for the worshipers to sit in. For an additional $1000.00, each church receives a PA system with 2 horn speakers, and a solar panel that they can use to charge the battery to operate the PA system, and a few lights.
