Spending Time with a Good Friend

The series of blog post that you will see over the coming weeks will show a current date, but due to the FULL schedule that we have had since arriving back in Kenya; we have not had time to post regular blog updates. We do apologize for that! We will post the date at the top of each of these new posts showing when the event(s) took place.

Our first night back in Kenya, we got to the guest house for the night and guess who we saw? Pastor Tim Whitfield! He was formerly a missionary in both Kenya and Tanzania, and both he and his wife have had a great impact on our lives through the years. It was good to see him and get to visit with him. He was on his way to Mwanza, Tanzania, so he traveled to our house and stayed through the weekend to preach for us at our church in Kisii Town before heading on to Mwanza. It was really good to see him again and talk about all that we have both been able to see the Lord do in the hearts and lives of the Kenyan and Tanzanian people.

What a mighty God we serve!

We Landed!

Well, we made it back home to Kenya safely and with all of our luggage!

Thank you for your prayers!

Market Preaching in the Village of Kegogi

This week is Bible College week here at Calvary BC in Kisii Town. It is also exam week, and classes are usually finished a bit earlier than normal. So, Luke had been planning to have an evangelistic meeting out in the Village of Kegogi, where we have started a Bible study since returning to Kenya in June.

So this afternoon, Luke, 3 Pastors, & 3 of our current graduates went out to the village to preach at the open market. It has been raining all week, and we have been praying that it would NOT rain today; so that the Gospel could be preached to many people. Well...it was raining as all of the men loaded up in our vehicle & headed out to the village. Luke said that it rained all the way there. But when they got the vehicle parked & were ready to start getting the sound system & things setup, the rain stopped! God DOES answer prayers!

There were so MANY people at that market today, despite the rain. And all of those 1,000+ people heard a very clear presentation of the Gospel in their language! Now not all 1,000 were gathered around the preachers, but the sound system is powerful enough to cover that entire area clearly.

Of those that did gather close around the preaching, over 75 people raised their hands saying they wanted to accept Christ as their personal Savior!

What an AWESOME God we serve! Thank you to those of you who were praying for our ministry TODAY!

Preparing to fly back to Kenya this morning, we all are having some mixed emotions. This was our longest time to stay in the USA on a furlough, so we all made new friends and renewed and friendships. And as you know, saying goodbye is never easy. Yet this time is very different for our family…we had to say goodbye to 2 of our own children! Abigail and Breanne both started Bible college during our year on furlough and are staying behind to finish the studies that the Lord has given them to do at this time in their lives. But this is definitely a new phase in all of our lives, and we are thankful that His grace is sufficient!

We would appreciate your prayers for our family during this time of transition.

Tragedy in Kisii

One week ago today, a 12-13 story building here in Kisii Town completely collapsed, covering a main road around town. There were people trapped inside for several days. The last survivor was rescued 5 days after the rescuers began going through the rubble. They called off further search & rescue efforts yesterday. We have heard some differing reports concerning the loss of life and injuries, but to the best of our knowledge 9 were killed and over 40 were injured during the collapse. Please keep the families of those involved in your prayers.
