October 29, 2023 10/40/ Update
Over the last several month’s we have seen God moving in the 10/40 Window of our ministry. Any of you have followed the work Sis. Terry and have done over the years and are currently doing in Kenya and Uganda know that I do my level best to report on the works we partner regard to great specificity. We regularly include the names and specific location of the villages we are working in. We also try to give insight to specific tribes and even the names of many of the precious brethren we have some to know and love over the years. However, this newest addition to our ministry is one that comes with great risks and rewards. We cannot for security purposes publish names of the country, location of the district and or people in this report. To do so would be irresponsible and literally put our brethren lives in danger. So with all that said, here is what I can tell you: God has called two Evangelist’s in the 10/40 window of an unreached people group. They have been baptized into one of our Landmark Baptist Churches in Kenya and sent out of that Church to preach the gospel. Those two Evangelist have been trained by Landmark Baptist Pastors that I have personally invested in over the last fifteen years. This doctrinal training has taken place during the last two years and they have been equipped to preach the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ as well as pastor one of the Lord’s New Testament Churches. The full proof of their ministry is that they have returned to their country and led twenty seven new converts to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. Those new converts have subsequently been baptized and organized into another New Testament Church which is believed to be the first and only New Testament Church in their country. People ask from time to time why Sis.Terry and I stay connected to the work in East Africa and this latest example of an historic work of reaching unreached people groups is exactly why. We have Churches who partner with us who have been burdened for this nation and now God is answering their prayers through the work we have done over the years in East Africa. We are both humbled and privilege that God would allow our ministry to be the conduit in which this takes place. Please pray for this newest work and these brethren are at great risk by professing Jesus Christ as their Savior, especially in light of current world events taking place in the Middle East.
As you can see
from the (above & below) pictures, brick making in the Kerio Valley
continues to be a priority. Additionally, this slow
laborious process can only take place during the rainy season due to the lack
of rain in this semi-arid desert region. The village of
Chespbei does not have a well so it is not practical to bring water from the
nearest river five gallons at a time to make the mud for bricks. They
have to capture the rain in small hand dug reservoirs for mixing the mud.
With all that said, they are currently making an additional seven thousand
bricks to use for the Landmark Baptist Bible Institute Kerio Valley.
Remember, this is the Bible Institute which will train preachers in that region
of Kenya, Uganda and a third unnamed country in the 10/40 window. 
Below bricks for the Landmark Baptist Bible Institute are being atacked by women and children of the Landmark Baptist Church at Chepsabel.
