The children of Kijabe Kenya have no access to a public library. Our mission partners there, Bryce and Mary Beth Noblitt, are working to bless their community with a children’s library.
The Missions Committee would like to thank everyone for a successful book drive. Southside members donated 1,700 books, plus a full box of crayons and colored pencils.
In addition to being donated, all these books had to be unloaded, sorted, cataloged for customs, packed into boxes, and loaded again. Many of you helped with this huge project. In combination with three other participating congregations, we now have over 6,000 books in 98 boxes ready to be delivered to Samaritans Purse on Tuesday for transportation to Kenya.
The Noblitts have reported the library space, which has been empty for decades, has been renovated with fresh paint and flooring. Construction of bookshelves begins this week. They look forward to blessing their community in a way they have not been blessed before.
