Paradigm Foundation

Meet our Kenya team! This week we met to talk final logistics for our upcoming trip and pack all of the supplies some of you so generously donated! We would appreciate your prayers as we prepare to leave next week and are excited to share all that God does during the trip!

Meet our newest home recipients in Kenya! Gladys is a 54-year-old widow who lost her husband about ten years ago. After his passing, the family moved from Kasarani to a piece of land in Eburu that her husband had purchased. Without the breadwinner, Gladys and her children, who now include two daughters, one son, and four grandchildren, tried to settle on that land and begin farming to sustain themselves.

However, they faced several challenges, including discovering that the initial plot they started building on was incorrect. This forced them to stop construction and move again. Eventually, they settled on the correct land, but it was rocky and required a lot of manual labor to clear for farming. Gladys and her family built a modest mud house with two rooms—a bedroom and a sitting room—and they cook with firewood in an outdoor kitchen. They are excited for a new home and Gladys is hopeful for how it will provide security and blessings not only for her grandchildren but for generations to come.

Praising God for the latest update from .heart.cry on the land we helped them to secure during Covid to address food insecurity in the region. The praises to date: 24 acres have been developed, 200 bags of cassava have been harvested and it created more than 40 jobs for men and women in the community! 🙌🏻

JHC shares: “Paradigm Foundation’s seed investment enabled Julie’s Heart Cry (JHC) to acquire and begin developing a 24-acre cassava farm in Bimon Village, Central African Republic. This investment laid the foundation for long-term food security, local employment, community trust, and measurable gospel impact. Over a two-year development period, the project has progressed from land acquisition to active harvest, while also supporting spiritual and community transformation initiatives.”

Please continue to pray for this community and the efforts of .heart.cry . God is being glorified and fruit is being multiplied!
