Hello, my name is Odipio Jamba, 47 years old and a father to 9 children. I work as the catechist for the Anglican Church in kidyairi. When I was posted to this church, I realized that there are many Christians who were not coming to church especially during Sundays. Many of them did that because they lacked access to the gospel truth. While others are as a result of health problems.
There was no clean and safe water for use in the church and the community at large. Women could move long distances in search of clean and safe water for use in the church and at home.
The Lack of access to clean and safe water for the community has led to decline in the number of people attending church service. In our door to door ministry, I learnt that sickness like typhoid, stomach ache, diarrhea among others were very commonly in the communities which has greatly kept many people from coming to holy word of God. The Christians spent allot of money to treat their sick ones in the communities.
Since the spring was protected by feat Africa, I have seen a great change in the lives the Christians and the community at large.
“The number of Christians attending church services and other programs has improved greatly now, the cases of illnesses like typhoid has reduced now. People are able to now pay school fees for their children and even support the church financially now. Says Jamba”.
As the church of Kidyairi, we now praise the almighty God’s name for answering our prayers for clean water in the community of kidyairi village.
“Thank you feat Africa for the support to our church and community, may God bless you and continue to support our people. Says Jamba”
