Siloam Christian Ministries are demonstrating putting the gospel into practice by providing goats to needy people in rural Kenya this summer.
UK Director of Siloam Christian Ministries, Richard Norton, said: ‘Our intent has always been to show our faith as we enable people to help themselves. ‘Our partners Childcare Worldwide (CCW) work ‘on the ground’ with practical ministry. This summer they are providing goats for destitute people in Kenya. Starting a herd of goats provides a livelihood for entire families.’
One little boy Dominic was with his mother. ‘He was so excited about the goats and couldn’t wait to help with them’, notes Annette Lange of CCW.

‘His mother only had a few years of schooling but had wanted to become a veterinarian. With the three goats she received she can begin a herd. Also, she can teach Dominic to look after these animals, ensuring a means of living.’ When asked about her favourite Bible story, this would-be veterinarian smiled and said, ‘Noah’s Ark, of course!’ The team were able to distribute three goats to ten local families – giving everyone reason to smile as they experienced the gospel put into practice.
