Wife,  Mother, Minister, and Community Health Activist.

I praise God for where He has brought me.   I give all the glory, honor, and credit to my Heavenly Father.

When I was widowed in the village, life was very hard.  My husband, a good man, died suddenly, and on his death bead said that all  he had to leave me and our three children was a panga and 20 shillings buried under a plant in our compound.

 

 

I did not know how I was going to survive but I knew that God was on my side.  With my panga I cut reeds in the lake and walked many miles to the market to sell the mats I made from them.  I worked weeding peoples shambas and did any odd job I could find to make ends meet.  My young son, Hanny, only 5 years old would gather little sticks and sit by the side of the road to sell them.  He was so cute people would buy his little bundles and he would run home and add to me his few shillings so we could eat something that evening.

Since then God has given me a new husband who loves and takes care of me and all our children.  It has been an extraordinary journey from that broken down hut to where I am today but my Jesus has made it possible and been with me every step of the way.

I am a mother of 6 children, and I am a guardian of two orphans whose parents were friends of mine.

I  preach and teach the word of God in meetings and seminars around Kenya and have a  ministry of encouragement and hope.

There are many people who are wanting to do good but they are discouraged and tired.  I try to help them see that there is hope and that God is ready and willing to assist anyone who calls upon His name.

In Kenya, it is difficult right now and people are looking for a way forward.  I teach that, with God, there is always a way forward if we will simply trust His voice and do what His Spirit says.  God saved me and my children and I believe that God can certainly pull others out of difficulty too.

When I go back to my village these days people can’t believe that I am the same Lilian they knew so long ago.  I tell them that it is all God and He alone has done these great things in my life and I testify that Jesus can make a better life for them too.

 

One of my projects is “Contrite Lafriqueen” which is a organization I started to help schools clean and maintain their toilets so that the children don’t become sick from using them.  Proper sanitation helps reduce sickness and boost overall attendance.  With better attendance students score better in their individual exams and the whole school performs better in national exams!

If you would like to help us build, renovate, clean up or maintain a school toilet facility my contact information is given below.

Thank you for visiting my web site.

May God richly bless you.
