Dear Prayer Chain participants, family and friends,
The following update is from Rod Clemmer a member of the Sudan 2808 team heading into Sudan
tomorrow.
“This morning we had a good time of fellowship with the three team members from Shelton, WA who
arrived late last night. We spent most of the morning relaxing and recouping from jet lag.
In the afternoon we were blessed to visit a preschool for the poorest of poor children in one of Nairobi’s
outlying communities. These are children who live with 7 or 8 people in tiny tin shacks. If they don’t go to
preschool then they’ll be behind the other kids in primary school who’s families could afford preschool and
many would end up on the street at 7 or 8 years old. This school is run by Miriam, the wife of Pastor Gitu of
Calvary Chapel Ongata Rongai.
After visiting the school we went to visit Gladys, the young girl whom pastor Gary met and visited with in the
video. You can view this on the Safe Harbor website at http://safeharbor.us/site/projects/. Gladys suffers
the effects of TB and Meningitis, and is left tied to a fence for her own safety while her mother goes to work
during the day. Gladys is receiving treatments for her condition through Safe Harbor and Pastor Gitu and
she seems to be slowly responding to them.
As we visited Gladys, the other children of this small slum area also came out to see us. Seeing and
playing with those kids was a great blessing to our team!”
