Missionaries Fernandez

 TO THE BETTER HALF OF OUR MISSION TEAM...TERRY!

Terry and Moma Rosyln

Terry & Children

This week has been one of those painful weeks for Terry and I both have significant back pain resulting from the intense schedule we have run over the last two weeks.  Normally, we will travel into interior regions for a day or two and then have a day or two to let our bodies recover from what can only be described as a “beat down” from the roads, trails and paths we travel to deliver the word of God to the lost and the saints.    From the looks of all that is on our plate over the next few weeks, it does not look like we will have much opportunity to allow for healing.    In any case, we learned a long time ago that from time to time an athlete must play with pain and so do Missionaries.   God has blessed us with such great health over the last ten years and we are ever mindful that we wake up and live each day by His grace.   Please continue to pray for God’s overshadowing and favor with regard to our health.

New Sign Namarambi

In addition to building pews, delivering signs and of course the never ending task of studying and translating God’s word we visited one of our first Church plants, Landmark Baptist Church of Namarambi which is located at the base of Mt. Elgon for Sunday worship service.    This Church continues to grow and mature under the leadership of Pastor Daniel and the Christian school is busting at the seams.    The growth is so significant that they have bought three plots of land since we help start the Church in 2009.

In addition to passionate singing, teaching and praise, we had the privilege to worship with Missionary Stephen Lobolia who is a Kenyan national now serving the Lord in Southern Sudan. 

By the way, it gives us great joy to see our Churches supporting global missions!

It was awesome to recreate the trail of faith that started with Pastor Daniel leading his son John to Christ, God then called John to reach the Turkana tribe located in northwest Kenya where he led Stephan to Christ, who has now led a Sudanese man named Aurelio to Christ and has surrendered to preach God’s word in Sudan as well.   Three generations of preachers who have literally led thousands to Christ and still going strong preaching the gospel where Christ has not been named. 

 Our final task this week was to get two more solar powered video tablets in the hands of our Pastor Daniel and Pastor Peter.  These two men are our most mature Pastors and Preachers, however they reminded me that while they are long in tooth they are not too old to continue to grow and learn God’s word.

Video Tablet

They are excited to continue their seminary education in the setting of their own home.   In addition to the video lessons, the solar panel and battery will provide these families with enough power to light their home with solar lighting.   This is a significant savings as they no longer have to buy kerosene on a weekly basis.   Special thanks to those of you who have given offerings to include your special VBS offerings given by the kids towards this worthy cause.  God is using you all to the uttermost parts of the earth.   We covet your continued prayers as we press towards the mark of the high calling in Christ Jesus.
