Community Spotlight Wednesday Kwambekenya, Kenya

Kwambekenya and Karima pastors held an interdenominational fellowship at Kwambekenya Stadium. This fellowship crusade was a big milestone for Kwambekenya; for sometime now, the pastors have been working towards the possibility of unity among themselves. This was the result of those efforts and the pastors, from Kwambekenya and Karima, are hoping when the unity is forged the Word will spread more effectively.

On October 15th, the Kinangop area communities (Kiria, Kwambekenya, and Karima) donated bags of cabbage and potatoes to another 410 Bridge community, Mivukoni. Mivukoni has been suffering from many obstacles and the people of Kinangop decided to donate their food in an effort to help those suffering. Those from Kinangop who went to donate the food were encouraged because they realized they are able to give what they have, and not always receive.

The new three-classroom block was officially handed over to the Kiambariki Primary School in a ceremony attended by teachers, parents, and students. It is the last phase of the classroom construction, 11 classrooms have been constructed holding a total of 440 students.

The Story of Edy Josué Ruiz

When Edy Josué Ruiz arrived at the rehabilitation center in 2018, his life was marked by loneliness and the pain of his father’s absence. He didn’t speak, didn’t play, and found refuge in silence. But God had a plan for him.

The rehabilitation center provided the support he needed through speech therapy, motor skills development, and psychological counseling. However, it was the love and faith he encountered there that truly transformed his heart. Thanks to the therapists and their dedication, Edy began to open up—he learned to speak, to smile, and most importantly, to find peace through his faith in Jesus.

Community leaders also played a key role in Edy and his mother’s journey. Through their constant support, prayers, and encouragement, they offered spiritual and emotional strength. The community became a fundamental pillar in his transformation.

The Woman Who Prayed Over Her Rabbits—And Watched Them Multiply

In the highlands of La Nueva Independencia, lives Doña Everarda Carrillo Velasquez, a 67-year-old woman whose life has been shaped by hard work, unshakable faith, and a deep love for the land. For thirty-five years, she stood faithfully by her husband, who lived with Alzheimer’s for fourteen of them. Today, with her feet rooted in the soil and her heart lifted to God, Everarda keeps moving forward. 

“God gives me strength,” she says with a conviction that comes from deep within. 

Last year, Doña Florinda Jimenez, a member of the Leadership Council, encouraged Everarda and her son to join a Foundations for Farming course. At first, she hesitated “Me? In an agriculture course?” but something stirred in her heart, and she decided to try. During the training, she visited a farm focused on animal husbandry, and something clicked. She was especially drawn to rabbit farming, and from that moment, she felt called to raise animals herself.
