God's Amazing Provision

God's Love is Abundant 

So, as you have prayed for our Kenya team, I know there have been some questions about why I am not going on this trip.

Since our last trip in 2013 my life has changed quite a bit.  I have had two incidents with my implanted defibrillator since our last trip.  My doctor has assured me that I can make the trip.  I feel like that it is better for the team if I do not go.  I do not want to slow the team down if I have another incident.

Also, the date of the trip is the anniversary of my father's death.  It has been a rough year for me.....speaking of broken hearts.  However it has been very hard on my mother, and I am planning on being with her during the anniversary season.

Those are strong reasons not to go, but I have been sad to think about not doing training for the lovely people of Africa.  I LOVE teaching in Africa.......I LOVE the African people.  God knows our hearts, tired and broken and He  gave me a gift.  I was approached by a pastor from Ghana.  Could I please do a training for his Sunday School teachers?  YES!  I can not wait.  I don't look at this as one more thing to prepare for.  I don't look at it as a ministry opportunity.  I look at it as a love letter from God to remind me that he has a GREAT plan for my life.

Pray for me, and the members of the Kenya team that are going to serve this church alongside me.

Pray for our team as they prepare for how God is going to use them in Kenya. 

Kenya Team 2015 

Fairfax Circle Church has a team going to Kenya in August!  The team is made up of five members.  Carolyn Inman is the Team Leader.  Her team includes Melissa Bowhay, Regina Millard, Jeff Bechtle and Virgil LaBoard.  

The purpose of the trip is to train national leaders in Nandi Kenya in the area of children's discipleship.  They expect to have 60 students attend their training.  

The team would like you to partner with them.  You can do that in three ways.  

1.  Read the post and leave a comment.  As we start out we are going to make this fun.  The first person to go on line and research Nandi and then post one thing they learned about Nandi will win a prize from Elise.  

2.  Pray for the team.  You will be told how to pray for the team through this blog.  

3.  Attend the Kenya Event on June 28th.  During that event families will play games together, led by the team.   There will be chances to write notes of encouragement and have a time of prayer for the team.  

The blog will come out every week from now until the end of August.  Thanks ahead of time for being a part of it.
