Wednesday 9^th January 2013.

This night, My lovely wife Maggie and I discussed about the WE program in our Church that she heads. We talked about one Zipporah Kalekye, who is a beneficially of this program. From our discussion, we felt that Kalekye's case is one of its kind.. She has four kids to take care of. She also has a grand child whose mother left to look for a job in the City.  One of her daughters, Carol is a victim of hydrocephalus, a condition that has left poor Carol on a wheel chair for over twelve years now. Kalekye stays in a very dirty environment. The place has lots of lice and  bedbugs, an indication of the degraded hygiene.  She has always sold eggs in bars and pubs and actually walks alot to trade her business. She is living with HIV and Aids, she is a single mother and a grand mother at 36. She has been married six times and none of her marriages survived. Her sixth marriage was very abusive.  She always comes to the WE program late, sometimes very tired and sleepy and even other times she comes with her grand son because she has no one to take care of him. Kalekye is one amongst the vulnerable people that the Lord has brought in our Church. 

When my wife and I went to rest that night I had a dream:

I saw in my dream that I was walking next to a slum area. Just besides one of the roads near the slum was a structure made of old rusted iron sheets.I realize that it was a community Center within a slum. I was with someone else and we decided to enter the place and see. As we walked inside, there were very nice compartments and many women who seemed busy in their jobs. I also noticed that there there was a Chapel where people from within the center did their prayers. The Place had a tall tower supported by very tall posts and there were very many needy people. I remember at some point I climbed on one of the tall polls and came down. There was even a compartment for the elderly people. At some point I saw Dr. Stanley Mutunga  join us and he seemed familiar with the place. Actually we leaned from him that the name of the place was Community Transformers. He said that this same place resembles another Community center within a slum area in Nairobi City, whose name is also similar; Community transformers., but this was unique in its own ways. What moved me the most was the sight of a crippled woman who had just given birth to triplets. I met her outside crawling back and forth as she tried to carry one kid, place her down ahead, then get back the second and the third.  She really struggled to do this. The kids were half naked and the place looked muddy and rainy. This wrecked me!!!

Kalekye's situation always reminds me of the great words, " People don't care how much you know until they know that you care." All that my wife and I can give to Kalekye is Love! 'Oh Lord give us more love for people like Kalekye'

God is calling you and me to arise to the occasion and  meet felt needs from around us. This is all Jesus did and I am assure if He walked around like in the early times, He would do the same.
