We received an update on the Brethren in Nairobi from Pastor Keith Merriman (3/16/26):
"Dear beloved brethren,
Greetings in the Lord Jesus Christ. The flooding has subsided in Nairobi, Kenya but it was devastating! Here is a message from Pastor Meshack:
"'Hi Pastor Keith, praise the Lord. Our Langata CGBCI church has just lost a child tonight due to the flood, the child was exposed to cold after their house was flooded and the child was attacked by pneumonia, she was taken to hospital on Sunday night, the breathing system was blocked that she couldn't breath well unfortunately the condition deteriorated yesterday and she passed on at night.'" (picture attached)
"We were able to send $3000 to our brothers and sisters in Nairobi to help with the repairs of two roofs on church buildings and help for the families. If you would like to give to this relief fund please send to Tom and mark it Nairobi flood. God bless you for your prayers and gifts, Keith."
Attached is a photo of the little one who lost her life, alluded to above. The above-mentioned address for (ear-marked) relief support is as follows: CGBCI Foreign Missions, c/o Tom Johnson, 222 Marker DR., Somerset, PA 15501.
