Wealth of Gold

 

Dear beloved: pics, Digging footings for Children's Home 2016; Encounter Team USA praying over school site

`1 Chronicles 29:7 They gave for the service of the house of God 5,000 talents and 10,000 darics of gold, 10,000 talents of silver, 18,000 talents of bronze, and 100,000 talents of iron. v8 And whoever had precious stones gave them to the treasury of the house of the Lord, in the care of Jehiel the Gershonite. v9 Then the people rejoiced because they had given willingly, for with a whole heart they had offered freely to the Lord. David the king also rejoiced greatly. 

Beloved, the stories recorded in the Old Testament of the offerings given so King Solomon could build a temple for the Lord, almost defy imagination.  At today's price of an ounce of gold, just the 5,000 talents given in the above Scripture equates to a value of over 33 billion dollars.  And that doesn't figure in the price of silver and all the other metals and precious stones. Surely the people were of one mind and one accord to give that much for a magnificent temple where the presence of the Lord would dwell. And Scripture also tells us that they gave freely and rejoiced because of the way they had blessed the Lord. the Lord loves a cheerful giver!  The pictures above show the story of the beginnings of the Living Water Children's Home in 2016. With great faith and few resources we built the beautiful home to bless the Lord and provide a shelter and rescue center for the abandoned and orphaned children of Kenya. Even today we have 25 children living in the house as a testimony to our commitment.  We are now also embarking on building a primary school for the children of Makunda village.  It is situated on two acres of land next to the Children's Home, and will provide a basic education in a wholesome Christian environment.  Would you pray about your part in helping us build this school?  One bag of cement is about $10, you can purchase 50 bags for $500.  One piece of Y10 steel is about $7, so $100 will buy about fifteen bars of steel.  We are trusting God for 300k to take all three buildings of the project to completion. This school will stand as a testimony to the people of Makunda and Kenya of the faithfulness of God's people to see the Lord's work go forward in Kenya. In this part of Kenya, houses of worship of another faith are sprouting up like mushrooms. Let the work of the Lord God of Creation go forward with haste!  Contact me for details if you have questions on the project.  May God bless you as you pray.
