Greetings Friends, Family and Brethren,
We are still currently in the Sunshine State and will remain
there until the end of the year allowing Terry the necessary time for her to
regain strength and overall health. While her future ministry in
East Africa is unknown at this time we know God knows all things and does all
things well. Her current overall health is good and much improved
with each passing day. She has the strength to do many of the
daily tasks required just to live life but still remains with many side effects
directly related to her bout with malaria and the infections.
Her recovery up to this point is somewhat miraculous in
itself given the fact that she could barely walk four weeks ago.
She is receiving excellent medical care and
we trust God for a full recovery in His perfect time. In the mean
time, we have been slowed down by this entire episode but I am staying busy
preaching at Faith Promise Conferences and this week also had the opportunity to
preach to and challenge Pastors at the West Central Missionary Baptist
Association annual meeting.

It is always good to fellowship with
those of like faith and to reconnect with people who love us and support our
ministry. Blogs and newsletters keep people updated but a
handshake, a hug and cup of coffee together is what is needed from time to
time. Modern technology allows us the opportunity
to effectively communicate with our brethren in Kenya. The work
continues in spite of our absence which is exactly what we have labored for over
the last six years and what believe is God’s perfect will.
We received news this week that two of our recent
outreaches now have God called men who are leading them and will be ready to be
organized into Local New Testament Churches within the coming months’.
One is located in the village of Huruma which is on Mt. Elgon and the
other is in the Kerio Valley in the village of Morweiris which I refer to as:
“the village of killers”, where many known murderers have been converted to
Christ. In addition to this great news, Pastor Shadrack traveled
to Lake Victoria this month to help Pastor Jackson complete the walls on the new
sanctuary at Landmark Baptist Church at Got. We will
install windows and deliver benches upon our return in January.
In addition to the aforementioned news, fifteen of our Pastors gathered
together last week and held a Pastor’s Training Conference led and taught by our
Senior National Pastors. These succeeding generations of Pastors
are now capable of teaching the younger and new Pastors how to rightly divide
the word of God. Pastor Peter Barasa taught and reviewed the Main
Doctrines of the Bible, Pastor Shadrack Mabili taught on
Stewardship and Personal Finances and Pastor Daniel Wekesa taught on
Missions.

So as you can see, the work of the Lord continues to
move forward as our brethren are led and motivated by His Spirit and His
Word.
Continue to pray for Terry’s health and for the work that
God continues to do in Kenya and Uganda.
Thank You
for allowing us to share what God continues to do in our lives and the work He
has allowed us to be a part of.
Also,thank you to each individual and Church who
have given towards Terry’s medical expenses.
God Be With You,
Bro. Chuck & Sis. Terry Fernandez
