Dec. & Jan. Update from Ken in Garissa, Kenya (w/ photos)

We want to thank God for his love and faithfulness in the year 2008. This far he is Ebenezer! We have seen God work in and through us as we have sought to make him known. Our greatest priority as a family remain to know him intimately and to make him known—the process of making him known may not be as quick as we want but we have rested in him. Time and space will not allow for us to testify how God has answered our prayers this Year—it has been amazing to see him at work. We are not able to take Christmas break because of a number of things that we need to finalize before the beginning of the year. We are currently building extra classrooms to take care of more students next year. Our National Examination results have just come out and we are happy for the excellent performance of our students—our leading student has 413 marks out of 500.

Our excellent Academic Standards have caused high demand for the school—we are having to increase our intake hence the need for more class rooms—this new one is likely to be finished early January.



Through our efforts to distribute “water guards”, villagers were able to drink clean water.


Our Carmel being loaded on to a trailer—it was the best Carmel during our Annual North Eastern Province Agricultural Show—talk of ways of opening the way for the gospel!

Please, do pray for Peter and Zakayo (our Jesus film staff) who are in missions this week screening “Jesus film”. Pray for many to know the Lord and for protection upon Peter and Zakayo.

Kenya is holding election this coming Thursday—pray that we will choose godly leaders to lead us for the next five years.

We thank you for standing with us as we seek to make Christ known among the least reached people groups.

We wish you Merry Christmas and a prosperous 2008

Ken, Eunice, Tim, Ann
