Health Update & Succeeding Generations

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,
