Greetings from the Kariuki’s!

God has done wonderful things in opening doors for us to share our vision for Chad and we are truly grateful. We have spent the last two and half months here in the US, enjoying time with family and friends, sharing our hearts, and preparing for our next few steps. We also had a wonderful time in England on our way here – catching up with friends, with some sightseeing crammed in as well. We have received a very warm reception here, and we thank the Lord for that – it is an amazing blessing to be a part of His family.

Our next journey takes us to North Africa. On September first, we will be leaving for Egypt to attend a YWAM University of the Nations Workshop, where we will be meeting with other YWAMers involved in training. We are excited about this opportunity and are looking forward to meeting others working in the North Africa region. From Egypt we will move onto Chad for a time of ministry and building relationships with the local believers. We will be in Chad for three weeks, and are trusting God for a fruitful time there, laying some of the groundwork for our future plans in Chad. We then will be in Switzerland for a week or so, visiting friends, networking with YWAM Switzerland, and trying to organize French language study for 2002. Moses has been invited to speak in Ghana on Cross-Cultural Communication , in a YWAM communications course. What an opportunity to share in the students’ lives, and equip them for ministry. Moses will be traveling to Ghana from Switzerland Oct. 14, while Jo will go directly back to the US. (Moses returns Oct. 22.) Pray for Moses that he would be annointed to clearly and effectively communicate. J We are humbled by God’s faithful provision of finances for our tickets, and for all the visas required for our travel. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of that.

PLEASE PRAY FOR CHAD: Recently we received an e-mail from friends there who say that heavy rains in the southern part of Chad have flooded main roads, and destroyed some houses. (Most homes are made of unbaked mud bricks.) The price of food and other necessities was going up because of the difficulties of transportation. Please pray for the people of Chad that the Lord would hear their cry and provide for their needs. Pray also for us, as we minister there, that we would be sensitive to His Spirit and be able to show his love in an effective and relevant way.

Partners in His Kingdom,

Moses & Jo
