Kenya Update for April '06

We greet you in Jesus name. The words in 1 Corinthians 15:58: So then, my dear brothers and sisters stand firm and steady. Keep busy always in your work for the Lord, since you know that nothing you do in the Lord’s service is ever useless. We always thank God for your partneship. Life has been busy, exciting and many times challenging. We have had to learn to wait for along time to see results and this is not easy. We were privileged to distribute relief to thousands of people in this place. The whole exercise was successful as we gave them maize, rice, beans and cooking oil. Many locals have come to appreciate the role we are playing.



It is now one month since I took over leadership of Life ministry garissa. Jaco and Helleen are now in South Africa raising support and will come back to concentrate on school and farming. We enjoy great working relationship with them.

Life ministry garissa has four missionaries and about fifty workers and this needs the grace of God to lead. We also have about four hundred children in our school. We believe that it is easy to reach out to people when they are still in their formative stages and that is why this is a great priority to us. Pray that our teachers (about twenty of them) will be fruitful in taking care of this young people Our Jesus film has been working tireless to screen the film in some very unsafe places—thank God for the protection he has granted and continue praying for them. As a family we are doing fine. Tim became four years three days ago and is doing very well in nursery school. Anna is two and a half and is talking a lot. We are happy that they make the house warm.




The picture below is not a true representation of us now because it was taken about one and a half years ago—I have since lost lots of hair on my head—aah aah and every one of us has added weight! We cherish you and are praying that you may experience more of God in your life. Blessings!
