Just
check'in to share a quick update –
After
living in the chaos of separating, packing and moving and packing some more, we
are on our way to USA – with Henry. It feels surreal to write these words;
after 2 years of “unknown” for this little orphaned boy (who’s grown tall) and
consistent ministry with those living in extreme poverty, we are more than
ready for furlough. We will miss our good friends in Kenya but we are EXCITED
to see family and friends back home.
Serving in
Kenya for 5 years reaped beautiful fruit of transformation. Culturally relevant
discipleship programs built healthy relationships. Those living in poverty now
serve in their communities. Victimized widowed mamas feel empowered to raise
their children. Clean water is shared with the gospel message in villages and
the slums. A functioning Resource Center equips the local church to biblically minister
to those in need. Only God can take a seed of a vision and cause it to mature
into meaningful reality.
If you’d
like us to share some of our experiences of seeing God moving while living
among the least, please be free to contact us and we can set aside some time to
visit. We can also
present at churches, small groups and organizations. Below is our itinerary:
- March 28th - 31, Washington DC.
- April 1 -7 Buffalo, NY
- April 8 – 17 Columbus, Ohio
- April 17 -21 Driving to Colorado
- April 22 Staying in Pagosa Springs (but can still travel to share)
Our time
frame for returning to Kenya In not scheduled yet, but it will probably be in
late December.
Please pray for us:
- International travel with Henry - a first for this boy!
- Continued health and provision. (Taleah's still dealing with a painful tooth ache.)
- Continued unity and effectiveness for the ministry in Kisumu.

We certainly appreciate all the prayers, support and encouragement.
As we say
here in Swahili, “Asante sana. Nema shakuru. Mungu akubariki sana.”
“Thanks you
so much. We are grateful. God bless you so much.”
