I was not disobedient to the vision (Ac. 26:19)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
”Warm” Christian greetings from Kenya! That’s right. We’re getting nearer to another hot season here in Kenya. As some of you may know, December is the hottest month of the year in this part of the world. In this beginning of holiday season, we pray for God’s provision and blessings on the work of your hands, despite the current economy recession.
Since our return from U.S. visit in May, we saw a series of God’s signs honoring our vision to plant indigenous churches and schools all over Africa. While we were still visiting the U.S., our Central/Southern Africa Director, Musa Aringo, managed to visit Democratic Republic of Congo and to encourage our Congo Director, Bitendelo Ekangyela, and his coworkers in Uvira.
Our work in the eastern Zambia is also getting rooted as we’re on the way to produce the second graduating class of church planters through our Bible school ministry in Muyombe.Pastor John Mosiro, a member of Kenya mission Board, is in South Sudan this week, visiting and encouraging Pastor Edward Kamau, our Sudan Director, and his work in Juba.
A weekly Swahili radio ministry of Pastor Cletus Tukai, our Tanzania Director, is also faithfully reaching out to thousands of listeners in the Kilimanjaro/northern Tanzania region.
Another radio ministry is coming up soon in the eastern D.R.C. as Bitendelo is preparing a ground work in cooperation with TransWorld radio.
In Nairobi, we just finished a wonderful kindergarten graduation and end-year ceremony. What a joy it was for us to witness those little ones being commissioned into the world with the message of Christ’s love!
Having served on a Board for almost two years by now, Eunice is busy nowadays, taking a lead on curriculum development of the Nairobi Chapel’s Logos Christian School, where Timothy and Titus are schooled. Nairobi Chapel is one of the oldest indigenous churches in Kenya with rich heritage of 57 years history, and is also a leading ministry in Kenya in the area of Christian education.
Pastor Hamon Kim of Grace Restoration Community Church (Chicago, USA) and I made another visit to Malawi for church leaders’ seminars in October. It was truly a joyous time of reunion and fellowship.
The Luo translation of School of Mission curriculum has been completed by our staff and put on the website of our Bible training partner, DCI England. Please feel free to check it out at <http://www.dci.org.uk/zipped/Luo%20School%20of%20Mission.pdf
Please keep praying with us as we are about to branch out to South Africa, Botswana and Mozambique. There are still lost millions waiting for the Good News in Africa.
We also encourage you to consider supporting the constructions of new churches, planted by our Bible training centers’ graduates. The more graduates we produce, the more souls are getting saved and the more churches are planted all over Africa. And when those churches settle down by acquiring their own facilities, they can soon self-support and begin to plant other daughter churches with their own finances. You can be a sponsor of those potential African churches by sponsoring their constructions. Consider prayerfully becoming a sponsor of one or two of these latent churches. As in the cases of many of our friends, our missions giving has dramatically decreased over the last six months. If the Lord prompts your heart towards this initiative, please write to us. We’ll gladly match a local church here for you as a partner.
Please know that you’re in our prayers everyday, as it always has been. Feel free to share with us if you have any prayer request. We will pray with you.
Happy Thanksgiving!
