Celebrate God’s answers with us!

We just started the prayer/answer pages of our website in the summer of 2024. There are so many answers to prayers over the years that we could never write them all down but here we go for the record! Thanks to the many who have been a part of God’s work through CDK.

April 2025

In mid April, we were assembling a list of upcoming expenses as a prayer list. This list was between $25,000-$30,000. Before sending it out, we received a plea from our Kenya Director’s wife that her nephew had been in a motorcycle accident and run over by a semi. He had both his legs amputated from just above the knee. His passenger was killed instantly.

The nephew, who is 20, was in the hospital with a $7,000 bill to clear. In Kenya, they do not allow you to leave the hospital until the bill is paid. Each day he remained there would be another $300 added to the total. A few weeks earlier this same family had already tapped their network of support with the death of a 5 year old niece.

We hesitated to share the need because we were afraid of not being able to cover our upcoming expenses , but God reminded us that His resources are not limited so we went ahead and posted the need on Facebook. Within 24 hours, we raised $5,000 and in 48 hours the entire $7,000 need was met!

The nephew’s family asked what they could do to thank us and we told them to pray that God would take care of our upcoming financial commitments. Just a few days later, we received an anonymous check for $25,000 that met every essential item we had on the list! We were so relieved and excited to share with the family that God had answered their prayers. God’s timing is always so perfect! So here are just some of the needs God met …

August 2024

KENYA - Just before leaving for Ukraine in early August, we prayed specifically with our Kenyan team for a sponsor for a tank because we had gone several months without a project in progress. And … we had received messages from a school where the kids were spending so much time trying to fetch water that they were missing a good part of their school days. While in Ukraine, we were blessed with an anonymous gift that covered this need!

KENYA - We had a very large unexpected financial need when one of our sponsored students miraculously got a US visa to transfer to Webster University in St. Louis, MO. With the support of many generous supporters, we were able to meet her immediate needs. We continue to pray that God will provide for her continued education in the US.

PHILIPPINES - While in Philippines we prayed along with the team for God to provide funding for land adjacent to the Can Do Kids Community Center. They had been praying for 21 years that God would reserve this piece of land for them when the needed it and the need is now. The church had raised a portion of the cost and thanks to God’s amazing provision we were able to help them reach their goal of $25,000!

July 2024

KENYA - Two of our sponsored kids needed funds to travel in July 2024 to a surgeon who has a free clinic in Eldoret.

Thanks to the undesignated giving of some gracious supporters we were able to send $350 for this to Kenya on July 12.

PHILIPPINES - God provided funds for school supplies for 250 students and helpers who attended Vacation Bible Club - $2,000. God answered again with those who sent an undesignated and unexpected gift at just the right time.

UKRAINE - God provided $3,000 for the Ukraine trip just days before we headed there, so every expense was fully covered! In addition, multiple gifts came in before the August trip to cover the $10,000 we had been praying for to cover the English School building addition.
