“I was sitting with my wife when I got your message,” said Musa. “We were just talking about how our daughter, Chepkemsi, was going to feel when she found out that the 3 other girls were able to go to boarding school and she would have to remain behind.” Musa & his wife put the issue before God and within moments they got my message telling them that sweet Chepkemsi had also gotten a sponsor. Now all of the girls could go to school.                  God is kind, and faithful.

         Musa’s daughters live in a very tribal region of East Pokot. Circumcision is still commonly practiced on teen girls. Teen girls are also, for the most part, forced to marry before they turn 16. But Musa has different hopes for his daughters. Musa, a tribal Pokot himself, has benefited greatly in his life thanks to a small school started by a missionary in his area some thirty years ago. Because he was able to go to school, Musa has since gone on to become a Chaplain in the Kenyan Government. He has traveled to America to receive training. And he has sought to spread the Gospel in his unreached Pokot region - being not only instrumental in peace talks between the Pokot and Samburu but also in leading evangelists over the past three years to expose over 10,000 people to the Gospel in his region alone.

            Musa sees the value of education and desires the same opportunities for his daughters.

               I can’t thank God enough for providing sponsors for all 4 of Musa’s school-aged daughters.
