Terry's Troops with Desert Corn in Back
Much of this week was spent chasing engine parts for the Rover.
The engine is out of the truck and list of parts includes:
cylinder sleeves, pistons, rings, main bearings, oil pump and
turbo. Rover Pistons
It was for sure one tired puppy with severely grooved
cylinder walls, broken rings and a wore out turbo.
My good friend,
Philip Shemwell, used to sing the song “Wore Out” by Jake Hess, which would be
most appropriate at this time with regard to the Rover, LOL.
Come on, you have to keep your sense of humor during trying
times!
They say, “When you cry, you cry alone, but when you
laugh, the whole world laughs with you.”
Besides the Bible teaches
us that trial of our faith is more precious than gold.
1Pe
1:7 "That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of
gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise
and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ."
Needless to
say, we will be traveling to Nairobi on Thursday to have the old turbo re-built
as they are hard to come by.
We rented another Land
Cruiser this weekend to travel to the Kerio Valley to cut firewood for the
Landmark Baptist Church of Cheposabei, so they can start firing bricks within
the next month for the new sanctuary.
The brick count is now
close to 4000. They could have taken days using axes to cut
extremely hard wood trees for firewood or we could use my small chainsaw which
took a couple of hours and provided a great day of fellowship in the
village.

The Pokot outreach and particularly the village of
Cheposabei where we have planted our first Pokot Church has provided much joy
for Terry and I as we feel very connected to these people and village which was
totally void of the gospel. They now are experiencing a pure and
undefiled religion as born again children of God. Praises to the
name of Jesus can now be heard ringing throughout the village through prayers,
singing and preaching. It is a beautiful thing, praise the
Lord! Praising God!
Prayers of Gratitude and Praise
There is also something else very special that is taking
place in this village.

If you were able to visit Cheposabei, one
of the first things that would draw your attention besides the new sanctuary are
the fields of corn. In order to appreciate this, you
must remember that Cheposabei is located in a semi-arid valley with temperatures
that can run up to 110’ and very little rainfall. We are
definitely having a wet year here in Kenya, however God’s people can see His
blessing and favor on their lives through what is the first and only crop of
desert corn in Cheposabei. The Pokots
are traditionally pastoralists raising goats & camels; however their young
Pastor from Western has now taught them how to farm. By the way,
God’s favor can be seen for miles as there is not another village within 50 km’s
that is growing desert corn like Cheposabei.

Please continue to
pray for us brethren.
