The End of Our Rope

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,
