Hi there! We are the Bys family. We are Jeff and Stephanie Bys. We were both born and raised in Texas. We have sold everything we owned and took that money along with our savings and moved to Kenya to build an orphanage. We will live at the orphanage and operate it with our 7 youngest kids: Caitlin (16), Karson (13), Brendan (12), Ava-Joy (11), Violet (7), Aspen (3), and Reed (2). Our 3 oldest are adults now and live in the US. Also coming to run the orphanage with us are our dear friends the Moreno's. Ray and Tammara along with their 13 year-old daughter Lexi are also selling everything and moving here in February 2017.
We are building the orphanage, AFM Mercy Children's Home, in order to help the poor and children of western Kenya and helping share the love of Jesus around the world in very real ways! While the biggest portion of the land purchase (located right next to AFM Mercy School) and construction costs will come from our personal assets, we are trusting that God will provide for our monthly needs through fellow believers back home in order to care for many orphans attending our AFM Mercy Foundation School and the soon to be built orphan home!
Please prayerfully consider helping us make this mission in Kenya a great success! We are setting an operational budget of $1500/month for the new AFM Mercy Children's Home ministry that will not only include basic living needs for our family, but also food, medical needs, and support for up to 80 of the most needy orphans in the area.
