Turkana Missionaries
These are 4 men who are serving the Lord in Turkanaland Kenya and who we are hoping to find sponsors for to provide for their families as they reach the unreached for Christ and plant churches. Would you consider sponsoring one for $180 a month or finding a friend or small group to go in together? Contact us using the contact button!

New Hope Gets New Beds
Last week our staff and the New Hope Children’s Ministry of SI were thanking God for a team that came from the U.S. to Lodwar! Rachael Swanson, husband Joshua Swanson with two of their friends, Christian and Jr Woodward visited the Share Int`l Regional Offices and Staff, and John Nakara led them in the morning devotions and introducing them to staff and different ministries of Share International.
The Lord spoke to the team about how the New Hope children were struggling because of the cold (to them) that
day (in which it was raining!). The team decided to buy 18 beds for the kids, plus 16 blankets and 16
mattresses to keep the children warm! The children are now enjoying beds and the mattresses in the New Hope (Street Children) Ministry! Praise the Lord.

The Healing of a Broken Bone and a Broken Life
Below is a letter we received form one of our sponsored Turkana Missionaries. God is at work in Turkanaland!:
“What a miracle!
I thank God for what He does at Nayada. It was recently that God healed a young man by the name
Akomol Etaaba. He was shot at the mouth by the Pokot raiders at Nawoyapong village.
The young man was one of the raiders at the neighboring Pokot county and even southern Turkana.
He had taken a lot of animals and also killed many Pokots and fellow Turkana’s in the Turkana South
District.
The young man joined a discipleship class at Nayada church where he met
me teaching a lesson on the topic: “God prepares us by giving a vision of eternity”. I read scripture from 2
Corinthians 4:18.
The man had a broken jaw and for over three months, the jaw was swollen. After he
heard the teaching; the man raised his hand and confirmed that he needed to surrender his life to Jesus
because he was tired with the bad life he had lived. I prayed with him and suddenly the broken bone was healed by
prayer. The man narrated that he had spent almost all of his animals seeking treatment for the wound.
He had gone from one witchdoctor to another for help but all in vain. Many people were astonished at
God’s miraculous healing power at no cost.
He is now attending church, and praising God for what he has
done. After his healing and salvation experience, his family members joined the church and are
rejoicing together with other members in the church. The family members are now attending baptism
class. They need prayers for their spiritual growth in Christ and belief in God to touch them completely.
