The Promised Land

The Promised Land

Excitement filled our days as owning land started feeling like a reality. We visited several potential properties to evaluate their suitability. Economically, it is a good time to buy land and spiritually everyone felt the touch of God’s hand in the process.

This past August, after four years of praying, working and waiting, LLM bought 12 acres of vacant prime agricultural land in Ol Kalou, a small rural town 20 miles east of Nakuru. The property has the essentials in place or near by, making it an ideal location for a children’s home, elementary school and a farm. It is less than a mile from the main access road and only 2.5 miles from Olkalou’s town center which has a large hospital, a police station, markets and shopping area. The soil and weather are excellent for both crop and animal production. There is a dam and hydro electricity nearby.

Interestingly, the previous land owner is a widow named Esther who’s had a desire to help hurting children her whole life, so she was thrilled to sell this property to LLM and is waiting to see this dream of hers come true through LLM. We’ve also had a couple of positive visits with the area chief who gave us his blessing and support. In fact, he was present during the purchase transaction process which gives us a lot of psychological and legal support as we begin this project. Indeed we are praising God for this wonderful piece of His earth that we can use for His Kingdom!
