The Sharing Way

Erica, Aaron, Yattani, Salomi, and Brian in the Eastleigh Community Centre's Assembly Hall

On Friday, we spent the day in strategic meetings with our Somali ministry colleagues the Carlines and the Gollos, along with Malcolm Card and our Sharing Way colleagues Sam Mutisya and Brian Malcolm.

Today, we brought the Gollos and Brian into Eastleigh for them to see the community centre and some of the ministry we are involved in there. The Gollos will be returning to Garissa where they are setting up there home. We pray for them as they establish themselves in Garissa and begin the important ground work for building new ministries in the capital of Northeastern Province. They are beginning a new chapter in a long legacy of Somali outreach in NEP.

Brian has been a great encouragement to us as we begin the jewelry enterprise with the Somali women and work to strengthen the development initiatives among the vulnerable Somali community of Eastleigh. Brian leaves for Rwanda tomorrow where he will be working with the Cards in other Sharing Way programs. With the help of The Sharing Way, we are working to help the most vulnerabe Somali households in Eastleigh to overcome extreme poverty, injustice and enjoy the visible signs of God’s kingdom through a participatory, integrated approach to sustainable long-term community development.
