One Sunday morning in 2014, Sarah Ambetsa's husband was killed as he was sharing the teaching message at the Joy in Jesus Church located within the city of Mombasa. Attackers had entered the church that morning and began shooting at the worshippers, killing the pastor and six others.

After the shooting, the church ceased meeting together which left Sarah feeling isolated and alone, and with no way to support herself and her two young sons. However, with assistance from VOM, Sarah was able to move to a new town where she has established a textile fabric business.

One of VOM's in-country ministry partners recently visited Sarah and her children, providing us the following update: "The prayers and support Sarah received through VOM have really helped her to recover from the loss of her husband. She has managed well while taking care of the boys (now nine and four years of age), and also operating her small business."

We are grateful to know that this single-parent family is thriving, and ask that you please continue to pray for Sarah and her two young sons. May they continue to grow in God's love and, despite the loss they have suffered, experience His ongoing faithfulness and provision.
