The Beginning of a New Church - Part 2

When we set out on our travels this morning, we didn't realize that we would be crossing through a county that is currently under lockdown (outlined in red in the pic) here in Kenya in order to get to the area where the new church is being started. But the Lord knew and there weren't any road blocks along the way, so we were able to make good time & get everything set up for the meeting for the rest of the week. This picture may be a bit grainy, but shows where many (not all) of our churches are located (all the yellow dots) mostly on one side of the locked down county. Then there are a couple of yellow dots near Luke's blue location dot, & this is the area where the new church is going to be started. Hopefully this gives you at least a little point of reference for what the Lord is doing in the ministries here.

One of our Bible College students has been holding a weekly Bible study in this small town for over years now, and we are so excited tthat a church will finally be started on Sunday. This is something that was planned for last year, but with country wide lockdowns due to covid, everything was put on hold.

But the Lord has been good through it all! The year of lockdowns allowed us to concentrate on figuring out new ways to do things & have allowed us to see a huge intake of new students into our Bible College, plus seeing the excitement of the churches to get back to work once things began reopening at the first of the year. 2021 is shaping up to be an awesome year.

*Be sure to stay tuned, & I will try to keep you all updated as electricity & internet allow
