The whole of 2006 was one of the most difficult years to us as a nation and of course as a movement with churches in some of the badly affected areas. As a country, we suffered three tragic extremes that followed each other very closely, that is, a prolonged draught, which had been with us for some years before 2006 and further heightened in 2006.

Before we could sigh in relief from the drought, flash floods came sweeping not only crops, animals, roads and bridges but also swept whatever hope had began to build up with the start of the much awaited rains. This meant a situation we had been addressing through our feeding and other humanitarian interventions moving from worse to worse. We mobilised our teams and any available resources we could get hold of and moved very swiftly and strategically.

When it became clear to us that we were right in the midst of a national crisis and that the problem we were into was far greater than we could handle, it was then that (Edward Team Leader) called out for external assistance from our international friends and churches. This appeal was awesomely received and the following months were marked by amazing resources coming in from different places where new frontiers has churches and very dear friends outside of new frontiers. The giving was to reach into tens and tens of millions of Kenya Shillings by the end of the year (2006). God was so good to us!
