Mt. Elgon & Solar Audio Bible Update

Three Landmark Baptist Churches Burned
The latest news from Mt. Elgon from what we can discern is that over two hundred people have been killed during this latest time of unrest.  The government has placed a curfew on the entire mountain and we are receiving conflicting reports of how many Churches have been damaged or destroyed.  We have been told that three sanctuaries have been destroyed at this time.  We have also help relocate five of our Landmark Baptist Pastors with their families to the base of the mountain where thousands have fled to safety.  Some of these Pastors are already starting new works in their villages of refuge.  Many have inquired as to how they can help but at this time it is too early to know how we can assist our brethren and Churches.  We will better be able to assess the situation when we arrive in country next week at which time we will be able to talk to those who have been directly affected by this violence.  In the mean time, please continue to pray that God would give our brethren and Churches an extra measure of His amazing grace.
 

PREACHERS PREACHING THE GOSPEL

Acts 8:4  "Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the Word."

This week a team of preachers from the base of Mt. Elgon traveled to the areas where those who fled the violence have come to take shelter.  They said that thousands of people are literally just living among the trees waiting for the opportunity to return to what is left of their homes.  The good news of the gospel gives people hope in Christ in this life and for all of eternity.  Even though the quality of the below pictures are not so good, you can see the man of God preaching to the refugees among the trees.  There were four who made professions of faith in our Lord and Savior during last weeks preaching campaign.  Pray for those who have been displaced and for the Men of God preaching the blessed hope of the blood from the precious Word of God..

BIBLE  UPDATE

As you can see from the pictures below, we have purchased one hundred and fifty solar powered audio Bibles with the help of many of our faithful ministry partners both in the Pokot and Luo tribal languages.  Our goal was one hundred, but as God continues to give the increase we will continue to purchase more for our second trip planned this fall.  Thank you to each and every person and/or Churches that have sacrificially given so that others might hear the Word of God in their mother tongue.  We also have ordered cases of Swahili Bibles to be waiting for us when we arrive this week.

Romans 10:17  So then faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.

 
Thank you for allowing us to share our journey of faith and thank you again to each and every ministry partner who supports us prayerfully and financially.
Please continue to pray for the work of Kenya/Uganda and Florida.
