AlJazeera News Reports on Kindles for Kids:


This past June our team of 23 people from churches in California, Texas, and North Carolina returned to Kilgoris, Kenya among the Masai tribe where 5 elementary schools and churches have been built in the last twelve years.  The schools now service over 450 students.

Three major events occurred on this trip.

1. The huge dedication ceremony at the newest school with hundreds of guests and government officials.
2. The first distribution of Kindles to the students enabling them to access as many as 3000 books in both English and their native Swahili.
3. The establishment of school medical clinics. The doctor and nurses treated over 110 children the very first day of clinic providing treatments like de-worming medicine.

The summer of 2010 saw the digging of the first well finally providing safe clean water for students. We are partnering with another mission group who are raising money for additional wells at our other schools.

Your gift also covers a daily meal for students, medicine, teachers salaries and building of additional schools in the remote areas outside of Kilgoris.

A Living Music Legend- A Message for Our Time

BREAKING NEWS: Two brothers and a sister who robbed a bank in Florida and shot a police officer were captured yesterday in Colorado by the FBI. The "Dougherty Gang" were arrested after a high speed chase of over 100 miles per hour.

Reflecting on the recent riots in London where teenagers and preteens went on a rampage and torched the city, the Bible says  "But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them."

With a career spanning 50 years, Bob Dylan continues to sing his songs,having recorded something like 70 albums and hundreds of songs.
