Update January 23

Hello dear friends!

We wish you a happy and blessed new year!
We have landed well in Kenya again and look back gratefully on our time in Germany. It was a really blessed time, with many appointments and meetings, but especially many encouraging encounters and great conversations. For us it is always great to feel that we are not alone with our work, but also with our faith, but that there are people everywhere who of course do not necessarily do the same as we do, but serve the same God with the same commitment. 

We landed well in Kenya again on January 24. :)

We are also very excited about our relief action in December. We asked you to donate food packages for disadvantaged families in Kenya. In total, we received donations for more than 250 packages! This is much more than we expected - thank you all very much!
 
Outlook:
We will now prepare everything to distribute the food packages as soon as possible. And we also have a lot of other things planned for the coming weeks: In February the new cohort of our students will arrive and we are very much looking forward to getting to know them and taking the vocational aptitude test with them to get started.
We also want to make progress with our "Center of Hope". In the next few weeks we still have to clarify a few things. Among other things, we still have to make a correction in the surveying of the property. Our goal is still to start construction in the first half of the year.

Thank you:
Finally, as always, we would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts, all those who support us through prayer, financially or in a very practical way. It is only through you that our work here in Kenya is possible. Also in this year, in which we want to take further important steps, we will only be able to do so with your support - thank you very much!
So if you have any questions or suggestions or if you want to support our work, please feel free to contact us.
Yours truly

Marco and Joy
