The beginings!

After breaking bread Benedict gave us some spiritual food. We sang some songs and interceded for the neighborhood. It's an exciting time as Benedict and I look to continue to reach out in the neighborhood.

Will the real Jacob please stand up?

Genesis 32:30 So Jacob called the place Peniel, saying, “It is because I saw God face to face, and yet my life was spared.”

Genesis 35:11 And God said to him, “I am God Almighty; be fruitful and increase in number. A nation and a community of nations will come from you, and kings will come from your body.”

The picture is of Benedict (the team leader), Jacob, and me outside of the church. Pray for Jacob as he starts his new life in Christ (2 Cor. 5:17). I am sure he will face difficulties as both of his parents are not Christians.

Milk to meat....mmh!

Romans 6:4 We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.

The picture directly below is of Fred and me. The other picture is of Chaka and me. The two are roommates and encourage each other in their walk with the Lord. Both of them have encouraged Benedict and me as we have started ministering in Mombasa. Please continue to pray for Fred as he continues to mature in Christ.

As you can see in the other picture, we also had some fun in the sand. I am surprised by how few Kenyans living in Mombasa know how to swim. I have taught at least five Kenyans how to swim; I won’t tell you how many have drowned.
