So many miles…
1,989 + 6,238 + 382 + 487 + 1,587
…
A family of 5 traveling
approximately 11,000 miles to various destinations and living out of suitcases
for 31 days should make us expert packers, right? After the first week our best laid
packing plans unrolled into possession chaos:
“Where’s my toothbrush?”
“Those are my socks!” “
“I know I packed that shirt…who
took it?”
Plus, our generous family and
friends added warm clothes to bless our un-acclimated bodies to the
chilly temperatures…
Hats.
Scarves.
Gloves.
Sweaters.
Jackets.
Boots.
Yep, time to get a trailer
(or some warmer weather)!
After sorting through our
compound in Kenya and transitioning ministry to the Resource Center at the
local church, we began our long adventure over the ocean and across the USA to
see family, visit friends and share stories of God’s amazing grace to those
living among the least in Kisumu. We’ve received many warm and big-hearted
welcomes. THANK YOU for loving us so
well!
We are happy to report the
Kisumu Resource Center continues to prosper. A church in Ohio recently provided
funds to build one porcelain toilet system for the elderly/physically
challenged and two flushing squat potties. The Kenyan advisory board and
management team provides unified leadership for ministry programs so those living in poverty
have opportunity to belong, to contribute and to serve – just like the Bible
teaches.
Kisumu Resource Center Family Day
As we settle into our Pagosa
home for the next 5 months, our personal goals include:
1. Preparing Tavin to graduate
from high school and investigate his next step.
2. Helping Taleah reintegrate into
a community she left over 5 years ago.
3. Navigating immigration rules
and Henry’s path for healthy development.
4. Participating in some family
debriefing sessions.
Our speaking schedule takes
us to Texas in June so please connect if you would like to know more about how
we “equip developing-nation churches to biblically minister to people living in
poverty, specifically widows and orphans” Does your organization or church
support missions that need sustainability tools? We can assist. Working
together creates caring churches.
"Hey, has anyone seen my
mittens? I’m freezing!"
Asante sana for your prayers, support and encouragement.
