I hope this email finds you well and prospering in the service
of our King. All of us in Nakuru, Kenya are doing really great.
Things have been busy here but not too stressful. We have come
in contact with other missionaries and found some delightful
people we believe will become good friends.
We have gathered the pastors and workers together again
and it was a joyful reunion. Out of the 14 people who
attended our first meeting, there were some new faces and some
old friends. We determined to meet every Wednesday morning at
ten for teaching and fellowship. All of us are looking forward
with anticipation at what our Father might do. I will write more in the next blog about the pastors gathering.
The 'Amazing Life Fellowship' church is growing by leaps and
bounds. This has created a need to construct a larger meeting
place. Renting space in Nakuru is cost prohibitive so through
prayer, faith and hard work we hope to see this building happen.
The need was already there before the increase in people. During
this rainy season we have to cancel many of our evening meetings
because the tent only has half of one side and does little to
keep the driving rains from blowing through and soaking all
inhabitants. Two nights ago the wind and rain were so severe we
thought the tent was leaving.
So this email is the beginning of chronicling the adventure of
God (again) creating something out of nothing. We have begun the
process of letting our prayers go up that our building would be
able to go up as well. It is also a request for assistance if
God should put us on your heart. The stories of how our people
here are coming up with the finances are extraordinary. Like the
10 year old boy who went without lunch for two weeks to buy one
of the poles. We didn't find out of his precious sacrifice till
last Sunday.
As has been said by someone somewhere we seek not so much to do
'fund raising' as to seek 'friend raising'. We know that things
are tight everywhere but we wanted to make this opportunity to
give to a worthy cause available.
Much love ... your sent ones.
