Missionaries Fernandez

We continue to dedicate much time, effort and finances to the completion of the many (7) sanctuaries we currently have under construction. 

It is important to remember that as we are coming along side of our churches to provide foundational items for their continued growth and stability.

The Pastors and members are busy making bricks, laying bricks, installing windows and doors, leveling ground and building restrooms.

In other words, we are a team working together for the glory of God and much of our efforts mirror the efforts of the investment that the Church family is putting forth through their special offerings and/or sweat equity.

In addition to building pews and tents, this week we visited the Landmark Baptist Church of Cheposabei which is located in the Kerio Valley. 

It regularly occurs to me that those who travel this journey of faith with us through emails and our blog have no idea of the scope and location of our works.   To that end, I have included a Church planting map of the locations of the Churches we have organized since 2009. 

The LBC of Chepsabei is the one circled in yellow.

This is the first time I have ever mapped our works and I have to say it was humbling to see what God has allowed Terry and I to be a part of  for Him. 

 It has all been for His honor and glory and by His power, grace and love which constraineth us. 

" Whatsoever ye do, do all for the glory of God!" 

The map reveals the scope and magnitude of the work that God has done through these two weak and feeble vessels that have a heart for our Lord and Savior.

In addition to the fourteen New Testament Churches which have been organized, there was not enough room on the map to plot the nearly forty outreaches and preaching points which are ongoing in various villages.

Yesterday, we had a great day of worship with our Pokot brethren and it was awesome to see that they have completed the walls of their new sanctuary.

I don’t want to go into the spiritual implications of building healthy walls in our Christian lives

 but I will say that our prayer is that they will keep 

Satan out while keeping Jesus in the hearts of these young believers.

At the close of the worship service yesterday, a man named Tios came forward to receive Christ. 

Not only is there rejoicing in Heaven over one sinner that repented but this man represents the answered prayers of His wife who has been praying for His salvation for years now.

God is so faithful.     New Convert, Tios

While we are thousands of miles away for our country and culture, we were reminded through emails and phone calls from our children that yesterday was Father’s Day.

We love and miss our children so much and yesterday it was very easy to have a small pity party on a lonely desert road coming out of the Kerio Valley.

We did not have Outback Steak or Red Lobster on the way home, but we did manage to have boiled eggs and a chicken salad sandwich while traveling.

Hey, the Lord never promised it would be easy but He did promise that

" Lo, He would be with us always, even unto the end of the world". 

 Happy Father’s Day! 

We covet your prayers and thank you for allowing us to share our hearts and ministry with you each week.

God Speed,
