- In the midst of a global health crisis, how do we pray for the women and children of Kenya?In this podcast of Straight from the HEART, you will hear of a new reality in Kenya where HEART has been working for the past 20 years.

In this episode, HEART's Founder and Executive Director Vickie Winkler paints a word picture of what life is like in the slums and upcountry of Kenya and how vastly complicated daily survival has become for these Moms who are overcomers. In the midst of a global health crisis, how do we pray for the women and children of Kenya?

the HEART, Vickie Winkler and Jerry Kitchel discuss the fascinating
area of 'friend-raising'.
It doesn't take long to realize how Vickie's approach to raising support
and awareness for HEART over the past 20 years is very different from
many popular strategies advanced today.
Whenever Vickie is asked to define her fundraising strategy, her
answer always boils down to this... PRAYER! Without prayer, she
contends, nothing else can happen. The stories flow from this
conversation with amazing examples of how God has always provided
exactly what's needed at exactly the right time.
For anyone who has known the challenges of asking for money and
depending on the charity a special cause, this discussion is certain
to be a wellspring of inspiration.
Miracles still happen today, Vickie says. Many times, they'll happen in
the eleventh hour just to test our faith.

Hosted by Vickie Winkler, the founder and Executive Director of Africa HEART Ministries and HEART's Partner Relations Specialist Jerry Kitchel.
Vickie has long embraced the guiding wisdom of Hosea 4:6. 'My people perish for lack of knowledge'. It was this scriptural truth that fueled her desire to launch a focused and strategic program aimed at meeting the physical, spiritual, and emotional needs of HIV positive mothers. "If we can work to restore a mother's health and empower her with strong faith, valuable knowledge, and revenue-producing skills, then we can also work to keep her children in school and on a trajectory that will enable the next generation to flourish as well."
