Prayer Request Update and Praise

I’m sorry it has taken me so long to update my blog. Thank you for your prayers for the missionary that was to have surgery. Mrs. Weaver came through her surgery well and she is back here in Kenya. They won’t know for a while if the surgery took care of the problem or not. If she comes to mind please continue to pray for her.

I also want to thank you for your prayers for my 6 year old niece, Esther. Please continue to pray for her and the family. The cancer has returned. She started out with two tumors in her abdomen. Within three weeks it had spread to her heart and bones. She and her family are back in the States and she started chemo this week. The doctors don’t hold out much hope, but she is in God’s hands. I find comfort in the thought that she is God’s little girl and He has her best in mind. This is not going to be an easy time for her or our family. Please keep us in your prayers!

My furlough is to start in one week. I will be back in the States traveling and reporting to the churches and people that support me. When I get back from furlough I will be moving up to a little town called Nanyuki. My ministry will consist of working in orphanages, teaching Bible in the village schools, helping start Sunday school and training teachers in the village churches, and teaching the ladies classes in the Bible Institute. A couple weeks ago I drove up to Nanyuki to look around at the housing. While I was there I got to be involved in the chapel service at the Christian school the missionaries started. Several kids responded to the invitation that was given. I helped the teachers divide them in smaller groups to deal with and I got to deal with three girls. As I talked to them I found that two of the girls were already saved so we talked for a while and then I got to lead the third girl to the Lord that day! Praise the Lord!
