The Archives

In America they ask for a 20 minute teaching, in Russia it is 40+, Kenya they asked for 3hrs. The Lord poured out what was needed. Deb and I took turns sharing then took lunch break and came back. They want us to come back again on Sat for more. Dale painted today at the school. Tomorrow Dale will speak to the men and Deb and I will visit the orphan school and visit widows. Awesome testimonies today. About 50+ women many walked from 5 miles away or more. We were humbled so much as we shared Jesus with them.  On Sunday we will buy chickens and/or goats to deliver to those in need. Life in the village is so hard compared to our life in America. The perseverance of the people is amazing. I am humbled as I watch them each day. They share so willingly what they have with us and open their doors and hearts. We are blessed to be here.

Kenya is a new adventure for us. As we toured the city yesterday in the process of doing errands we saw the sights. Many things seemed somewhat familiar…bad roads, crazy drivers, roadside vendors. All much like Russia for us and Philippines for Deb. Poverty was evident at every turn.  We ask Lord how do we help and what is your plan for us here. Our time of ministry began today with a visit to Joogo (spelling ?) Girl’s school. Jan spoke and both her and Deb prayed for several of the girls. Many of them have heavy concerns for young girls. We are praising the Lord for Jen who made Jesus Lord of her life today. That was exciting. Please pray for these girls. Dale preached at the Brethren church where Moses attends. Tomorrow we will go to the village for a week. Lord willing we will get you some updates from there.

London Heathrow Friday Oct 22. We are waiting for our flight to Nairobi. Dale is sleeping. It is the middle of the night Michigan time. So far all is well. There are lots of people in this busy place all hurrying about to get to gates. It is a great spot for people watching. In a few hours we will be with Moses.

We are packing and getting ready for Kenya. Dale is putting finishing touches on a remodel job he has been working on. It is so amazing we are finally going. It has been a 6yr wait for God’s timing. Now it is here.  I stand in awe what the Father has done and wait with expectation of great things He will show us in Kenya. Tomorrow is our departure. I hope we can stay connected and keep you updated.
