January Update from Tabitha House 2

Dear PCM Team,

We are thrilled to report your recent visit in Bungoma Kenya Tabitha House 2 has created an impact on the lives of children with parents in prison and those on the streets.

Your visit was marked with spiritual nourishment through prayers of salvation, Bible study, Baptism, feeding, and distribution of clothes and shoes. May God bless you richly. 

We bring to your attention that following prayers of salvation to street children 27 gave their lives to Jesus Christ and 3 three boys have fully joined our church weekly Bible study program among other responsibilities around the compound. There are moments in life that touch your heart so deeply, you can never look at the world the same way again.

This is the story of Sylvenus— a young man found on the streets of Bungoma during PCM on January 25th barefoot, hungry, silent with confusion, but speaking English able to communicate with Brent Bishop. Sylvenus was rescued from the street by an old Samaritan widow who assisted him join school but eventually the widow died before completing high school. The school allowed him to finish but retained all his certificates even after passing exams. 

Sylvenus is still on the street, he is a bright boy with dreams hidden beneath years of hardship. Recently Brent Bishop spotted him and noticed his ability and now we have rescued him from the streets and brought him to the church compound for rehabilitation and we believe this is where his hope will begin to shine again. We have seen this child’s potential.

With joy, we are planning to enroll Sylvenus in a college to study as an Electrician and certificate in Theology because he’s much passionate about serving God.

For two terms, we need to pay Ksh 50,000 per term plus extra costs for meals and accommodation of around 30,000, because every child deserves a chance to dream. But when schools close, we don’t want Sylvenus to ran back to the streets that’s why we request your prayers to help us renovate wooden church houses that will be called their home especially those who are constantly coming to church every Sunday because the streets are not safe that why they are being killed almost every week.

Every time we look into Sylvenus’ eyes, we see both hope and pain. He is a child who needs more than rescue — he needs consistent care, therapy, guidance, structure, and a safe environment for him to succeed.
