Duncan


One of the best things about coming to Kenya is the people I get to hang out with. One of those people is Duncan Kimani (he’s the one on the left). Duncan is one of the Kenyan directors of Care for Aids (www.careforaids.org). Care for Aids is a ministry that partners with Kenyan churches so people who are HIV+ can come to the church to get physical counseling, spiritual counseling, and resources to meet their physical needs. Duncan has a real heart for Kenyans with AIDS and has given his life to helping them. So much so that Duncan has taken in a 9-year old Kenyan orphan who is HIV+ named George. For all practical purposes, Duncan has adopted him as he is providing for all his needs. When Duncan first met George, he was very sick and living in poverty. Over the last year, through Duncan’s intervention, George is healthy and has a bright future. As if that was not enough, Duncan has opened up a house for 5 other orphan boys in the community. The boys are supervised in the house by a couple young men and a women comes in during the day to cook for the boys. They have a plot of land to provide their own vegetables and this week, Duncan is buying the boys a cow to provide much needed milk. The kingdom of God is a better place because of Duncan Kimani as well as the community of Limuru where he lives. Wouldn’t it be great if the same could be said of you and I?
