CAVES
Greetings Family, Friends & Brethren,
We continue to
see fruit abound by the grace of God from the work in Kenya and Uganda. The latest news is that the gospel continues
to push upward and onward on Mt. Elgon as Pastor Alex Kimtii and Pastor Peter
Barasa went on an evangelism campaign last week to reach new areas and new
tribes. They accomplished both as they
we able to preach the gospel to a new tribe which we have not previously reached
on Mt. Elgon. As they hiked with great
effort at over 12,000 ft. above sea level, they arrived at a village called
Chesokwo where people lived in and around caves. These folks are of the Sabaot tribe and in
an area so remote that Pastor Alex said he did not even know they were
there. Peter & Alex

Terry and I worked with four
tribes during our years in Kenya and now this is the fifth tribe reached with
the gospel by the folks we have taught and trained. I told the Pastors that they did not know the
“People of the Caves” were there and we did not know of them but God knew they
were there and sent them to preach the Gospel which they did. Because they were obedient and concerned with
the commission, forty eight villagers trusted Christ as their personal Lord and
Savior. Praise
God these men who have a burden for the lost and willing to make great sacrifice
and literally hazard themselves for the preaching of the gospel to the uttermost
parts of the earth. In addition to
preaching where Christ has not been named we sponsored their first 2016
Pastors/Preachers seminar for the Churches we helped plant in Kenya &
Uganda. When I say we sponsored, I
mean that we still assist with transporation, lodging and food as God’s men
gather from Lake Victoria, Kerio Valley and Mt. Elgon. It is a great expense but one well worth it
as the old and more mature Pastors we have invested in are teaching and
mentoring the younger men with the doctrine we have taught them. 2Ti_2:2
And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same
commit thou to faithful men, who shall
be able to teach others also.

The Florida Plant continues to flourish
and produce fruit in all of our lives as we build a foundation for future
generations to follow Christ. We have
surpassed what I would refer to as the curiosity or honeymoon phase and crossed
into the steadfast and faithful phase which simply means we have separated those
who are willing to covet together as a Church family to keep the commands of
Christ with those who are just curious and passing through. We
continue to run between forty and fifty in number and have really developed into
folks that love one another in Christ as we are in one accord for the glory of
God. Last week we baptized a young
couple who we led to Christ some months back and with great joy we are watching
them grow in their faith through our continued efforts to disciple them with
in-home Bibles Studies.

Additionally our
van route has added a dozen young folks and teenagers to our Church family
through the efforts of my dear wife and her co-laborers and we are already
praying for a second van to fill up for the glory of God. If your Church has updated their vans and/or
has a leftover older one that needs a home, you could be the answer to our
prayers. The methodology we are using
for God to give an increase is labor intensive and requires consistent
commitment but we have seen God bless this approach to the Great Commission
everywhere we have labored. Please
continue to pray for us as we labor in Florida and as our folk’s labor in East
Africa. May God bless and Keep you in
the center of His will.
In His Service,
Bro. Chuck & Sis. Terry

As you can see from this picture, our youth room is at
Max capacity and we are in desperate need of relief
our external classroom fund has stalled at $1500.00.
Could you help us?
