Robbed in Kenya

Please Pray!! Lisa and I were away from the house today when it was robbed by 5 armed men. They removed and took the safe with a LOT of money, jewelry, passports, bank cards/checks, work permits, etc. All our important docs. They also stole both of Lisa's medical bags with all her medical equipment she uses in the villages. They stole my backpack with all the COPIES of the important docs that we had in the safe! This is what we call a "double wammy"!! 

The important thing is that we were not here and no one was hurt. We SERIOUSLY need your prayers as we go through the FUN of closing and reopening all 4 bank accounts, get new work permits and passports. Pray for Lisa as she is apprehensive about our safety. Pray for me as I am dealing with anger and mistrust

Then and Now!

God has been so good to Real 4 Christ Ministries.  Please take a few minutes to read this newsletter from Chris and the Ministry Update blog below.

Ministry Update

Dear Fellow Supporters,

Lisa and I wanted to drop you a quick line and update you on our little school in Kenya.  We now have 130 students and we are making plans for 30 more precious 3 year olds coming in January.  The kids and staff look great and are so happy!  Lisa and I are also happy because each of you have given so much so that we can be a blessing to these amazing people.


Next month we plan to begin the next phase of our building project which is the 2nd floor of our school building and new toilet facilities.  Both of these buildings can be built for only $30,000.  We would like to have both of these complete by January 1st when we begin our brand new 1st grade class.  We are so excited as we make all the plans for this growth.  


Here's how you can help.  Please pray for us and with us about this need.  Pray that the funds will come in on time and the construction will run smoothly.  Pray that we find a qualified teacher for this new class.  Pray that people will come to know Christ through our ministry here.  Please share this email and these pictures with as many people as you can think of and if God presents the opportunity, ask them to consider getting involved with this very important project.


By now, all of you should have received our quarterly Kenya Connection Letter (sent in the mail 3 weeks ago) and our Sept Prayer Letter via email.  Each of you should also be receiving periodic updates in email and on Face Book as well (if your not on FB, consider joining our group called "moores2kenya").  Please let us know if you are not getting this regular communication from us and we will get it to you.


Finally, please know that Lisa and I love each of you so much.  We do know the financial sacrifice you make every month and we do not take this for granted.  We are so blessed to have so many friends across the world who "join hands" with us as we minister here in Mombasa, Kenya.


May God continue to bless each of you!!
