Today was an excellent day! It was filled with much excitement! First, I talked with Kim this morning and she
told me her Jubilee Market was written up in the newspaper and that business
was booming as a result. God continually
shows her favor!
I spent the afternoon working on
messages that I will deliver in Kenya.
All is going well with that but this is Thursday and I leave on Monday
so the days are very short now to get finished up! I checked my email at 5:00 and was met with
incredible news!
The Christian Motorcyclists
Association raises money to provide indigenous pastors with motorcycles to aid
them in their ministry. Transportation
is one of the top problems in third world countries as I experienced last year! There is an application and a set of
requirements to meet in order to potentially qualify for a motorcycle. Esther and I worked together to fill out the
application for Pastor Theo. I have been
checking in on the application because we are all hopeful of using a motorbike
while Esther and I are over there in August/September.
PRAISE THE LORD, THE APPLICATION
WAS APPROVED! Pastor Theo will receive
funds to buy a motorcycle in Kenya. Now,
the next prayer request is that the money will be made available to him quickly
because he is coming to Nairobi next week to meet Esther and me. If he has the funds, he will be able to buy
the motorcycle right then and not have to make another trip to Nairobi to make
the purchase. We will rent a van to take
us to Mbitini and I THINK that we can put the motorcycle into the van.
WHAT A DAY! This evening Nathan and I went to church to
help with VBS and I have just been filled with so much joy! I am glad to be feeling this way right now
because once I am in Kenya around the poverty and harsh conditions it gets
harder to be joyful. Kim IS joyful
anywhere she is. She is a good example
to me. Oh, how I need to be unaffected
by circumstances and rejoice in the Lord always!
Thank you to all who have prayed—keep
it up: IT IS WORKING!! :)
