Touching Lives had the privilege of meeting Lucy at our 2019 Medical Camp right before she began form 4, 12th grade in the U.S. We were about to learn how remarkable she is!

Lucy was born with severely clubbed feet. She came to our camp in hopes that she could have corrective surgery. Her journey has spanned several years and obstacles, but she has persevered! During that time, Lucy began to sew for Naomi's Purse, the newly formed business sponsored by Touching Lives.

The next step for Lucy is to get the medical referrals and funds for the surgeries to begin. Please pray with us for Lucy and consider donating toward her surgery. She is fighting hard, help us continue to fight with her!

This week, we are asking you to join us in praying for our former and present student sponsees as well as the students, globally, who we are not able to sponsor. Please pray for ministries around the world who are called to sponsor students. No single ministry is called to do everything, we are the Body of Christ! Our prayers are how we can minister to these young people The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective." James 5:16b NIV

These young men represent a few of our graduates. We congratulate them all!

Touching Lives Ministry and Giving Tuesday Make a Great Team!

Today is the day - Giving Tuesday 2025! This is the day we highlight the good that genuine non-profit organizations, including Touching Lives, do throughout the world!

As you consider the many organizations on your heart, we want to give you another opportunity to honor and memorialize your loved one by donating in their name and help match the $20,000 from our "Mama Donor". The lives touched and the lives remembered will be MANY!

Through The Touching Lives Autumn Memorial Gifts Matching
Fund You Can Be A Part Of Caring for Young Families

Both of the first two young men Touching Lives was able to help were in their early teens and both needed surgery on their feet and legs to be able to walk. Meet Stephen and Brian.

Stephen's feet were severely burned in the fire in his family's hut when he was 3. We met him when he was 13. Because of the reconstructive surgery sponsored by Touching Lives and done at the Cure Orthopedic Pediatric Hospital just outside of Nairobi in 2011, Stephen can now walk with very little pain, is a diploma social worker, a husband to Winny and father to Yadah Praise, their baby girl who is 8 months old. Stephen serves his community by sponsoring an outreach to the young people in his community every December.

A few years later Touching Lives brought Brian to the U.S. for life and leg saving surgery in 2015 because of the support of our donors and the open home and hearts of the Coles in Myrtle Beach, his American guardian/parents. Brian had fallen at the age of 9 when he was playing soccer at school. The resulting infection was so severe that he was facing amputation at the hip in Kenya. Today Brian is a church leader in his community, the husband of Elizabeth and father of 6 week of Evans Jayden!

Our supporters not only made a difference in the lives of 2 young men but 2 families and 2 communities! Today and every day we are grateful Stephen, Brian and our donors. Your love, prayers and gifts are helping to touch and change lives in Africa!

🍁🇰🇪Donating to the Memorial Fund!🍁🇰🇪

"The Touching Lives Ministry 2025 $20,000 Matching Gift Hospital Memorial Fund is open until December 1st - Giving Tuesday. In addition to building a general hospital, we have several active initiatives and many visions for the future. One of the "heart beats" of TLM and TLK is children. Our "Touched Lives, Changed Destinies" program, is focused on bringing preteens, teens and infants of teens together with adult mentors for encouragement, education and spiritual growth.

We will be adding a plaque on the wall of our Outpatient Building to memorialize your loved ones and to recognize that they will forever be a part of this, and many other programs. Thank you for choosing to be a part of touching lives in Sanjweru Village, Southwestern Kenya."🇰🇪

🍁Autumn is End of Year Giving Season!🍁

Autumn is known as a time of harvest, gathering and the abundance of God’s merciful provision. As we enter this season, Touching Lives Ministry is no exception to this phenomenon.

Touching Lives was recently blessed to receive a generous donation in the amount of $20,000! This gift was given along with the hope and challenge to be multiplied by others in order to complete the construction of Touching Lives Ministry Hospital, Phase 1. Upon receiving the donation challenge we prayed with boldness to ask and expect a harvest God will bless. Our goal over the next month and leading up to Giving Tuesday is to at least DOUBLE the original donation. ALL funds will be dedicated to building the long awaited hospital in Kenya.

The original donation was made in memory of a humble, prayerful and loving mother whose life spanned 5 generations. She showed the love of Christ to all with a hug and “I love you”. Her life was not easy but she never wavered from her love of Christ and her commitment to prayer. Her kindness and generosity did not stop when she left this world but through her donation she continues show Christ’s love to others with Hope and healing in a nation she never visited and to people she never knew - that is the kind of thing she loved to do!

Today we extend the opportunity for you to honor YOUR loved one. Your gift in any amount will reach across the world and make a difference to people you may only meet in heaven. ALL donations go directly toward construction of Touching Lives Ministry Hospital. A gift made in honor or memory of your loved one makes it possible for TLM to be the hands and feet of Jesus to spread the Gospel and heal the sick in a village that desperately needs Him.

Our goal is $80,000 to build the first structure of a designated thriving campus. Today with your online donation we can accomplish this. Go to the link below to honor your loved one through giving the gift of Hope in Africa.

Thank you in advance for choosing Touching Lives and the community of Sanjweru, Kenya to honor your loved ones.

“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least
of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
Matthew 25:40
