  • Long Description: A young Kenyan welcomes John Boster to Meru. Boster is a member of Heritage United Methodist Church in Van Buren Ark., and is spearheading a planned chicken breeding operation for the central Kenyan town. "I first thought about working in water wells, but the Lord didn't want me to do water wells," says Boster, a veteran Volunteers in Mission leader. "He wanted me to do chicken houses. The Lord laid it on my heart. And, it is an ideal climate for a chicken operation." The operation will produce more than 2,500 eggs monthly, providing residents and AIDS patients with a source of protein. A UMNS Web-only photo courtesy of John Boster. Photo #070774.
