The Love & Respect team was blessed to be welcomed by
two previous 100 Christmas Dolly award recipients as they testified about what
your gift has done at the time alongside showing how their own application of
what they learned in the Entrepreneurship Series continues helping their
churches even today.
Grace Abundance
Church in
Watamu, Kenya received the 100 Christmas
Dollies gift
in 2014. Pastor Owino applied what he learned in the Entrepreneurship Series
both in focusing his church strategy on evangelism and in teaching his church
members about the use of farming to support the purchase of church land. In
2015 they poured the cement making the alter and purchased the handcrafted
pulpit. In 2016 they are building up the small rooms and digging the pit
latrine (in coral rock).

Mountain of Glory
Church in Marikebuni, Kenya received the 100 Christmas
Dollies gift in 2013. Pastor Njuguna applied what he learned
in the Entrepreneurship Series by planting tomatoes on church land and using
the profits to construct a permanent structure. In 2014 he planted peppers and in
2015 he planted okra. In 2016 Pr Njuguna planted on 3 acres of land and is
working hard to harvest it all. Your gift afforded windows for the church.

| Three acres of various fruits and vegetables went from plants to fruits during the time of our conference. |
