Revival Preaching
Mission work has often been
described using the analogy of a man lowered down into a mine to dig while
many others are holding the rope.
It is a great illustration in the sense
that while there is one man (the Missionary) down in the pit doing the hard
and often dirty work of mining something precious, there is a group a
faithful folks
(God’s People and Churches) holding the rope on the other
end.
We thank God for those of you that have been holding the rope
for Terry and I since 2007 as well of those who have joined us over
the subsequent years.
After our initial deputation efforts in
2007-2008, we never dreamed we would have to dedicate another eight months
of living out of a suitcase and crisscrossing our country to
raise desperately needed funds for our ministry, but that is exactly what
we have done since February.
We are now pushing 30,000 miles,
reaching nearly seventy Churches, multiple mission conferences, Local,
State and National Association meetings as well as several revivals.
As this season of ministry draws to a close we are at the end of our
rope with regard to deputation work.
That is not to say that we do
not still have many appointments left over in the next couple of
month’s
but simply to say that Terry and I have done all we can humanly do
to ask God’s people to join us in this great work that God is doing
in Kenya and now Uganda.
So we are now glad to see the light at the end
of the tunnel with regard to deputation work.
While we are approaching
physical and spiritual exhaustion we are also now at the point where we can
say it is entirely left in God’s able hands.
We had already placed it there in His hands before we started but this is rather to say that we have
put works with our faith and now ask God to give the increase.
So over the
next month or two we will transition from deputation to more of a furlough
type pace where we will prepare to return to Kenya.
As our deputation
draws to an end (thank you Lord) and we begin to say goodbye to our brethren
here in the USA, the exciting part of reaping the fruit as God gives
an increase becomes a reality.

God reveals the increase through
each building that is now fully funded, three out of our five goal and
with each new monthly partner that gets on board with us.
I believe
by faith, as the Bible says that the half has not yet been told in
that area because we have received dozens of promises and commitments
that have yet to be fulfilled, however we are still believing that God
is able and willing to get us back on the field in much better shape
than we left.
Finally there is an aspect of our deputation work
that could easily be overlooked through goal setting and statistics
and that is the souls that have been saved, the lives that have
been touched through our ministry and the saints that have been
exhorted and encouraged to press forward.
Bearing this type of fruit is
just as important as raising sorely needed funds to see souls saved
and
lives changed in Africa. We are seeing that God’s grace continues
to be upon us in such a great way as we serve him with all our
hearts.
Please continue to pray that God will strengthen us and use us for
His honor and glory.
In His Service,
Bro. Chuck & Sis.

Welcome: We would like to say "Karibu"
which means welcome to Pastor Jim Callen and Eastern Ave. Baptist Church,
St.Cloud Fla. for partnering with us as we preach the Gospel here in Kenya.
Terry and I have a special place in our heart for this Church as it was where
my Grandmother was a member for many years.
