We are so encouraged and excited that God has used The Rock in the past week to make huge changes in people’s lives! As we trudge through a difficult economic environment, God is doing great things in very personal ways for Daniel Mwangi and his family in Kenya, along with Joanitah Nyanda in Uganda.
Daniel is a leader in The Rock’s Kingdom Builders Development Group in Kisumu Kenya, which disciples businessmen. When tribal violence broke out last year, his retail business was destroyed and he was forced to flee with his family for safety. They tried to start over in different locations but faced one hardship after another which led to the family, which includes his wife and three children, being temporarily separated.
Now that the tribal tensions have eased, Daniel is ready to move back to Kisumu and The Rock asked donors to stand with him financially in helping rebuild his once thriving business. Within minutes of the request being sent out by email, a donor responded with the full amount! Now Daniel’s family is reunited and the Kingdom Builders are welcoming him back with open arms.

Joanitah is another praise! Several Rock supporters spent a day as car hops for Sonic to earn money for her to resume her schooling at Uganda Christian University. Others responded to The Rock’s email plea for Joanitah and still more pitched in at a Rock women’s luncheon.
Now Joanitah, whose parents died when she was an early teen, is re-enrolling for university. The young woman, who has overcome trials through her strong faith in the Lord, had sat out a year of schooling after completing her first year. Had she not been able to re-enroll this month, she would have lost all previous credits.

It’s these kinds of stories that make all the ups and downs of ministry worthwhile. Whatever it takes, it is worth all we have to see God producing fruit in these ways. -- Mark
