Miracle House Seedlings
Spring is in the air … We h
ave a new program we would like to share with you!
Children grow… When my own children were young and someone would see them after some time had passed, often the comment would be “Oh my goodness, you have grown!” To which I would reply, “You feed them, they grow!” Naturally we expect them to grow and thrive. Yet, somehow we are still surprised and amazed to see it happen!
The same has been true with our Miracle House children; many now are taller than me (mum deanna). Growing up and growing older, progressing their way through school is also a wonder to watch.
The inevitable has happened – our Miracle House children have grown up and out of our “in house” levels of education. All our children (save one) are now in primary school. Sooo, we have only one in the house until lunch. We have been led to begin a new program! It will be unique and different from our other children.
What the SEEDINGS program will look like –
We will begin with 10-20 children in each location (Webuye and Limuru), ages 3-4 (ages 5-7 if they have had no other schooling). We are seeking the orphaned and most needy children in our areas (Limuru and Webuye). The children will come for preprimary care and education, morning porridge, more teaching, have lunch, a nap and then return home. This schedule will fit nicely within our current programs making the most of our building locations, staff and fulfilling our commitment to outreach and feeding programs for orphaned and needy children.
We will begin with one “pp1” nursery class and run the rest of 2014 as a test program. We will evaluate the program as we walk through these first eight months. Then, based on our evaluations we will make the decision whether or not to continue and grow the program. Be watching the upcoming newsletters for more information on how the new classes are doing.
We are looking for people to sponsor this pilot program at $40 per month. Those that sponsor the program will receive annual or semi-annual photos of the group of children. Please CONSIDER, is this you or someone you know?
New website launched
We have a new website! Visit regularly for the latest information and ministry opportunities. Trips, blogs, testimonies, photos and child sponsorships will all be available online! If you are reading this, you already know about our new website so why not spread the word!

Thank You
We’d like to take a moment just to say THANK YOU. We have some big things happening this year. Our children are growing up and working through Secondary School (High School), which is a big step and one we knew would come, but now that it’s here we know for sure that we wouldn’t have made it this far without you faithful friends.
Thank you for your support, thoughts and prayers for the organization, the staff and especially the children. You are a special blessing to us and we cannot say thank you enough.
Sincerely,
Deanna, Samantha and Sharon
