12 Days of Christmas in Kenya.

Thinking of the Twelve Days of Christmas 
in a different way...

The days before Christmas can be a scramble 
to find the right present, finish holiday baking, 
and attend various get-togethers.
While you plan, shop and celebrate the birth of Jesus, 
would you remember some forgotten ones?
Below is our Twelve Days of Christmas in Kenya.  
It shares prayer requests,
ways to relate to those less fortunate, and ideas for donations.
We appreciate your prayer and gifts 
on behalf of widows and orphans.
                                                                                 James 1:27                                                                                                                     Blessings of peace and joy,

The Blessed Catch

Jesus is calling, inviting, challenging us to trust Him in the deep places for the catch He will provide. The "deep" can 
be an uncomfortable place - filled with threats of danger, discomfort, and insecurities...
But when we obey, He's faithful to give all that's necessary - the blessed catch.
Question is,
What do we do with the catch?


•    Disciple widowed/single mammas opened ministry-businesses where they tell testimonies of the Lord's provision to care for their children.
•    Share God's love and redemption with handicapped, orphaned children.
•    Minister in churches on missions, adoption and orphan prevention. 


Asante sana for helping us "go out in the deep" and "teach others to fish."
Let the cycle of the blessed catch continue in Jesus name.

We appreciate your prayers, support and encouragement.

Back in Kenya

We're back in Kenya, among our friends, ministering with them in places desperate for hope. Jesus brings hope that grows into fruit shared, fellowship enjoyed, orphans loved, and unexpected blessings of participating in a leadership conference, ordination and baby dedication. Grateful to be found faithful to the call and entrusted with God's heart for the fatherless.  Photo's below of the last couple weeks. Take a peek into what the Lord is doing in Kisumu...
 
Poverty's oppression is thwarted by the DIGGS project as widowed/single mamas commitment to serve God by banding together to read the Bible, pray and 
share their blessings with others.
  
Agnus and Josephine taste fruit from USA, 
something their "tongues longed for."
Fruit of the Spirit is what their lives long to produce. 
 
Giving with generous hearts.

Tavin and Taleah ready for the first day of classes. 
 
 Last weekend we enjoyed fun fellowship 
with families at the first annual school picnic.
 
Mark and Tavin join in the big "futbal" competition.

As many of you know, we live in a house with a very small compound - no room for hosting DIGGS training. We prayed for something in a fair price range with a place for widowed/single mamas so they 
could come to us for classes. 
Tada! Photos of the new home of CARE4Nations! 
It's in a secure location, but a block from the slums.
There is also enough room for Mark to work on the evangelistic water project.  Yeah God!
 

Our family joy - ministering to the orphaned kiddos
 with special needs. 
They love to tease Tavin. 



 We participated in a two day leadership conference 
on Identity of Integrity.  After the conference, you could find Lisa outside the church with Pastor Mary spending time with the women and children.
 The women work together preparing 
food for the conference.
 Mixing ugali and making chapati.



The children learn about Jesus 
and how our camera works.

 Tom, part of the visiting missions team, is 94 years old!  He wanted to come to Africa before he got to old. 
(Gonna be just like that at 94.)
He's not sleeping.  He's praying for the food.
 Breaking bread and feasting as His body, 
joined by bonds of brotherly love.

 Asante sana for sending us back to Kenya to express 
the Father's love to the "least of these"
who are precious in His sight.
                                                    Matthew 25:31-33

Asante tena

Our passion with children here in Kenya is sharing Jesus.   
Many of these precious ones are orphaned, abused, neglected, 
infected with HIV, physically challenged by severe birth defects. 
They may be abandoned, but they are not forgotten. 
 Jesus inscribed them on the palms of His hands. 
He is their reason for living.  
He is their joy.  
He is their hope. 
They are His glory - fearfully and wonderfully made.  

Asante sana for the gifts 
of developmentally appropriate toys, backpacks and bibles.
Asante sana for the financial donations.
Your kindness helps us show God's love in tangible ways.
Mungu akubariki Rafikis.
(God bless you Friends.)
