Kenya ~ THE REUNION

SHE LEFT THIS WAY

BUT RETURNED THIS WAY!



A Picture is worth a thousand words.  Enjoy the below pictures of Terry's two and half year journey back to the people and land she loves with all her heart.  Her body has healed but these pictures capture the essence of the healing of her heart.





  The reunion was one of the sweetest and most anticipated reunions I have ever witnessed.  And while it has been an event that Terry has longed for, I believe it was equally anticipated and longed for by our Kenyan brethren and particularly the Wamama (Women).
As you can see, there were many hugs and tears by all.  There was also a Missionary who was especially happy to have his wife by his side as I have made five trips back to Kenya without her.   As I have stated before,  we do not know if this will be Terry's last trip but we Thank God he allowed her to return to get some heart healing.  Our first visit would be to visit Pst. Shadrack and the members of the Landmark Baptist Church at Mawe Tatu.  This was the first Church plant we were involved in back in 2008 where we saw some of our earliest converts.   After the Mawe Tatu reunion we would as the Bible says, immediately endeavor to travel into the Kerio Valley to visit our first (Pokot Tribe) Landmark Baptist Church at a village called Chepsabei.   



The road was so bad going into the valley (totally destroyed) that we really did not know if were going to be able to get back out.  Terry would spend her time in the valley teaching the ingredients of a successful Christian home to the women of the now four Churches there.  Some of the women walked 15-20 Kilometers. She would use a coal burning oven to demonstrate how to cook banana bread and make application with her Bible lessons.  

If you'll give me a little liberty here in closing, I would like to brag on my dear wife but ultimately brag on the Lord because of her great love for Him.  I am not sure I have ever seen another Missionary wife who has loved, taught and invested in the Women of the Churches like Terry.  There have been many a faithful Missionary wife but Terry seems to be the exception in that she is not only there for the Missionary but also to make a difference in the lives of God's women through extensive teaching and training. We have taught our Pastors that a strong servant wife can make a huge difference in their ministry and Terry has proved that to be true.
Please continue to pray for the work in Kenya/Uganda and Florida.


Thank you for your prayerful and financial support and for allowing us to share this journey of faith.

THE PERFECT BITE



This is the perfect bite of banana bread Terry cooked while teaching, using a coal burning oven in 100% heat with make-shift ingredients in a semi-arid desert region. Amazing!!!
