Fun guests


A few weeks back we had the privilege of hosting our Bethany Mission Sending Agency leader Dan Germo and our field leader Tim Kelly. Anna was shy at first but quickly warmed up to them and even let Dan carry her =). 

 


It was the first time for them to visit us since we moved to Kakamega and for them to see firsthand what ministry on ground here looks like.  It was fun taking them around town and showing them our hostel project and sharing our vision for the student population in Kakamega. 

Behind us are the hostels we've built. Read More...
 

It was really encouraging to have our mission leaders pray over us and the ministry we are doing here.  It is such a blessing to be part of a bigger family and team and to know that the role we play in Kakamega fits into a much larger vision for Kenya, Africa and really the world.   

We took Dan and Tim around town showed them the two large Hindu temples in Kakamega.  This is one people group that is largely unreached.  There is a big divide between Kenyans and Hindus.  Part of our vision is to see the local churches and believers begin reaching out and break down that divide.  Read More...

 
 

They asked us about our plans for furlough.  John has never been to America and it has been too many years since I’ve been home to see family and all of you.  My parents would LOVE to meet and hold their mocha grandbabies =).  We need to spend time with our home church in Ohio, FBC, as well as our mission agency, Bethany Int., in Minnesota.  For various reasons it just hasn’t worked out for us to travel to America yet but it is something that has been weighing heavily on our hearts and prayers. 

After much prayer and brain storming we agreed that next summer, 2016, would be a good time.  Please keep this in prayer as we make plans to travel.  We will keep you updated as we get closer and begin putting things in motion.  Right now please just pray that God would open the necessary doors with immigration for John and provide all that is needed.    

Saying goodbye till next time
