Dr. Kathy Watson sends Christmas update from Kenya mission
</element><element id="paragraph-1" type="body"><![CDATA[Dr. Kathy Watson of Freedom House Ministries, formerly of Eldorado, has sent a Christmas greeting letter updating people on progress at her ministry in Kenya.
Watson thanks all of her supporters here at home for helping the ministry's feeding program reach 4,000 meals each month at the little primary school in Lela.
"A wonderful new cook shed was recently finished during this last school term. It is a great addition, made of clay-baked bricks attached to the school in this remote village. Our workers will no longer cook in the rain or the hot sun," Watson writes.
Watson writes she has witnessed several teens give their lives to Jesus as their personal friend and savior and some have been filled with the Holy Spirit. Three teenagers were miraculously healed from serious lung and heart diseases and one who had run away was found and has rededicated his life to the Lord, Watson writes.
The ministry has begun 15 animal projects to assist in school fees by September 2011 and provided life skills to assist some widows with daily living expenses.
The ministry is beginning a new sewing project with a man added to the project who has two years of sewing training.
In January 2011 the ministry will be assisting in the beginning of a certificate Bible program that willl enable adults to learn more about God and acquire an entrance into college if they did not complete high school, Watson writes.
Watson and the ministry resettled this year into a much smaller place "but have had great peace on this locale. Workers continue to take care of the fields and harvest grain for the feeding program," Watson writes.
The ministry totally supports 55 students with food, school fees, all supplies, clothing and shoes. Watson says a Christmas gift of $50 to $100 will put a primary age child in school for another three months and a gift of $150 to $200 will meet the needs of a high school age student.
