Goat Donation!
Our joy is beyond measure! Glory be to the Lord God Almighty in the highest.
On Tuesday 13 .12. 2011 a local self help Group donated two Dairy Goats each with two lambs. Although one lamb died the others are fine. We have been milking at least 700ml from one goat and we mix with porridge. It’s so nice.
The children are enjoying feeding on porridge with goats’ milk which is very nutritious. They are also enjoying milking and feeding them. We built a goat pen for them outside the chicken house. The types of these goats are:

K.C.P.E. RESULTS!
The awaited Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (K.C.P.E) Exam results are out. Our pupils who did this exam tried their best but didn't do as well as we'd hoped. Here are the results of our kids who were in class 8:
1.Intercessor Israel 343 Marks,
2.Charity Wangari 213 marks,
3.David Njoroge 196 marks,
4.Naom Wanjiku 186 marks and;
5. Hannah Njambi 176 marks.
All these are out of 500 marks, but the system is very different from the American system. Very few students ever score over 400, and those who scored under 200 probably will still qualify to attend the local school.
This shows that only Intercessor Israel will be admitted in a good competitive boarding Secondary School. The others can only be admitted in the local day schools. Let us continue to pray for them and all the others.
MISSION CONFERENCE UPDATE
We thank God that he enabled AMCC to send 11 children with Ruth to a Christian conference at Apostolic Faith Church Kabati sponsored by Concerned Brethren Ministry (CBM). Our children were very active in leading and conducting praise and worship, presenting songs and poems each day. The conference started on 14-18/12/2011.The teachings were good and of much help to our children spiritually and the children enjoyed their stay with other people outside there. On the last day of the conference – Sunday 18th 12/ 2011 the conference congregation donated Ksh.3,483/= to AMCC children which was brought back to AMCC.
CHRISTMAS
On Christmas day when we had no hope on what to feed the children with, we decided to use the money which was donated by the conference congregation ( ksh 3,483/=). We bought wheat flour and meat. The children were very happy and enjoyed taking chapattis and meat just like other children outside there. We were all happy celebrating Christmas together.
VISITORS
On Saturday 24th/12/2011 we received 8 Indian visitors at AMCC (3 men, 3 ladies and 2 children) who works at Bidco Oil Refineries who just made a surprise to us in that they had not informed us earlier of their coming but called when they were on their way coming. On their visit they donated the following to AMCC:
1. 4kgs__Greengrams
2. 4kgs__Bean
3. 3kgs__Salt
4. 12 bars of soap
5. 10kgs cooking fat (mallo)
6. 17 kgs cooking fat (chipsy)
7. 50kgs of maize (corn) flour for posho meal
8. 320 pieces of biscuits.
On Monday 26th/12/2011 we also received 2 more visitors at AMCC. They surprised us by visiting when no one was expecting to be visited. One of them works at Bidco Oil Refineries who said that he just felt to come and celebrate with the children during Christmas festive season, and he came with one of his friends who is a a businessman at Thika town. He donated 24kgs of maize (corn) flour for posho meal.
We thank God for what he is doing at AMCC. These two visits has encouraged us so much to see that God is touching some individuals here and there in supporting the children at AMCC. Let us continue in prayer, hope and faith.

Christmas Need
Dear AMCC Supporters,
We are sending our love and greetings to you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ who changes not neither does he have a shadow that turns. Amcc kids,staff and board are fine and resting under his Sheltering hands-Jesus Christ. Only Agnes,Jackline and Mercy who are sick but under treatment. Ruth has been very sick for the last one week now but am under treatment and thankful to God for this.
We have been buying food on credit even in November. With Favic Millers which was donating Maize (Corn) flour to Amcc out of Business due to lack of raw materials and with continued inflation AMCC debt went up to kshs.128,142/=. We have been sending proposals to different organizations seeking for help here in Kenya none has responded either positively or Negatively. John has started to get troubled over these debts because our Creditor has told us to pay before 30.12.2011 and we still owe them the September and October debts of kshs.136,800/=. So,by the end of November our debt was kshs.264,932/=. ($3,192)
We still believe that our God has 1000 cows on the mountains. My prayer is that God may sell some of these Cows to give AMCC money to not only pay the debts but also to make Amcc stay and continue without debts.
In total, the debt is $3,192 and rising.
Pray with us.
COURTESY-CALL

Christmas greetings in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
We are all doing well.Agnes and Victoria geting better each day.Jackline is still complaining of tiredness on the knees but under treatment.
Madam Valentine was sent by Bidco Oil Refineries to come visiting AMCC this last Saturday 3.12.2011.She delivered Bidco's Monthly donations of 40 litres of Cooking oil,50 bars of laundry soap and 3.5 Kgs of powder power boy soap.
This last Sunday the children did not recite any poems or sang songs to entertain her because she was in a hurry as she was having a tight schedule.
She also informed us that there won't be an annual Party this year at Bidco where the kids has been attending.
Greet all our US Partners.
Ruth.
