Acts 20:24 However I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me-the task of testifying to the gospel of God's grace.

Muddy Puddles by John





Matt 28:19 ,,,,,,,, go you therefore,,,,,,



Sunday morning saw us making our way to a small bush church at Aranga ,,,,,it had been raining and so we had called ahead to check on the roads which we were told were fine (see photo),,,,,,,,the little rav4 continues to get us in and out of trouble but today we needed a tow,,,,,,,so we left our car at the side of the track and went so far on a motorbike and the rest we walked.

We arrived an hour late but the people were waiting patiently for us,,,,,,we were told that six people were wanting to be baptized so we had church first,,,,,,,
I continue to teach on the value of women which comes from God and not from their husbands or the number of children they have and how Jesus went out of His way to lift up and use women in His ministry .Then before baptism I spoke of dying to ourselves and giving our selves to Jesus and that it was a conscious decision and not just the act of being immersed in water before we made our way to the muddy puddle,,,,,singing all the way there and singing all the way back

PS,,,,,,church was under a shady tree,,,,,,provided by and maintained by God






LOST by John
Ez 34;16,,,,,I will search for the lost and bring back the strays



Sometime back Connie and I were going to a meeting in town,,,Connie was going with others and I was to catch up,,,,,,I was given directions on how to get there ,,,,,,so with these directions I know I am close so I call for someone to talk me in the last bit ,,,,,they tell me turn at the callbox and I am going up and down this road forever I call in again saying Im lost and you know how that word will stick in the throat of a man,,,,all they say is turn at the callbox and Im shouting WHERE IS THE CALLBOX???,,,then someone comes out to find me and bring me in how galling is that????

So I ask this person where is the callbox?,,,,,,oh the callbox fell down years ago they reply we just call this place callbox,,,,,then I think how this reflects my spiritual life relying upon me instead of God



Our first 6 weeks into the new year are full of peace and joy knowing that the changes in our ministry of focusing on spreading the Good News and providing bibles is exactly where Gods wants us

I might have mentioned before that there is a written statistic reporting that 76% of Kenya is Christian and yet when you ask people what is the difference between a Christian and a nonchristian by far the majority can not tell

We ask that you will continue to pray for us we as continue to pray for you,,,,,,,,,,,



We love you and miss you,,,,,,,,,,lots
