The "Faithful Fifty" is a group of friends, family and supporters who have gathered together to do in a group what none is able to do individually. We each have pledged from $10 a month to, in some cases, $50 a month (and all the stops in between) to insure a steady support flow for the monthly budget requirements of the Hardin's ministry in Kenya, East Africa. This is a God-inspired idea and program that He has blessed and used to make the difference to the Hardin's work since they left for Nairobi four years ago.

The basic idea is that $10 a month doesn't seem like much, but $500 a month does. And "Together We Can Do It Better." We are in the process of re-building this group after losing all but about ten of our original number. We had 35 members to start and as of this writing have (since a recent recruitment effort at Grace Covenant Church) built the group back up to 44. Hallelujah! Six more to go to reach our minimum goal of 50. We are rebuilding and you can be part of that. Just send an e-mail to Barbara McKinney at barbara@smithdiment.com with your name, address, phone number and the amount you would like to pledge.

We will mail you an envelope each month for a convenient reminder. Also, we will get together occasionally for covered dish fellowships to share news of the Hardin's ministry and to get to know each other. This portion of the website will also keep you updated on Larry and Barbara's specific needs and prayer requests, short term missionary opportunities, etc.. As you may know, shoebox size "care" packages can be sent to them at P.O. Box 1720, Nyahururu, Kenya, East Africa. God bless you as you take hands with us to help the Hardins reach the Kenyans for God.
