A post from Ken

Here is an email we got from Ken yesterday while my internet was down.


Greetings from Kenya! I arrived here safely on Sunday night after 24 hours of travel. We are now in our 2nd day of our History Makers Leadership Conference. We are in Limuru Kenya which is located in highlands 1.5 hours NW of Nairobi. We have 26 young men and women that we are teaching; they have come from as far as Ethiopia. They are very open and receptive to our teaching and I have enjoyed getting to know them, learning more about their personal lives, their nation, culture and our differences. The one thing that we share is our belief in Jesus! Their faith and strength is VERY humbling. We are incredibly blessed in the USA and take much for granted like safety, running water, electricity, food and the many resources that God provides. Please keep our team in prayer for teaching, mentoring, health and safety. Remember us on Thursday as we travel to Kibera, the largest slum in Africa with over 550,000 people living there.
Thank you for your prayer support for myself and for my family back home.
God Bless You in work today as we all seek to serve!

I did get to talk to him today and he said that the need is so great there and that people there are so hungry for the Gospel and discipling but that the funds and financial support have been growing short. I am sure that when Ken returns this will continue to be something on his heart! He is already talking about going back and he isn't even home yet :)

On the home front, Caleb has his dental procedures tomorrow so an extra prayer sent this way would be appreciated. He is in pain most days from his teeth so we are anxious to get this all done!
