kenya school
With God’s leading, Deb Ralph has partnered with the Bishop in Meru County, Kenya to open a boarding school and home for disabled children. The church there has received a two acre parcel of land which they have been able to survey and take ownership of with Oakhurst UMC support. One acre has been allocated for the school and some existing buildings are being turned into dormitories for the children. God put this calling in Deb’s heart more than 4 years ago and she is excited to work with the Bishop and MCK on this wonderful mission. Our current Pennies For Kenya campaign supports this endeavor.
