Treasured Fellowship

Visiting Church Plant in Chad fun

It has been such a joy for our family to spend the last month here in the US, reconnecting with family and friends and sweltering in the August heat.  Favorite events, according to our kids, have been time with cousins in the mountains, youth group at Encounter, biking with their Uncle, and lots of swimming.  

 

Cousin Fun

For the grownups in the family, we’ve treasured the times of fellowship, both lighthearted fun and deep sharing with loved ones here.  We are so privileged to have such a wealth of friendships both here in the US and spread across the globe.

As we head back to Kenya, we’d like to share a few challenges we’re facing and ask that you continue to stand with us.  Our heart and calling has always been to see workers challenged and equipped to take their place in the Kingdom.  We are especially excited about seeing on fire young people in Africa being trained and sent out.   

Since we’ve relocated to Kenya, this has meant a lot of teaching invitations for Moses, both in the international body of Christ and in many YWAM locations across Africa, and consequently, a lot more airfares.

Sharing with PA Youth

At the same time we’ve been feeling a desire to purchase a home in Nairobi, as a base for our family and to serve others in ministry and hospitality.  This is a vision that is pretty much beyond us, with increased living expenses in Kenya already stretching our budget.

Malaysia Ministry

As you know, we are volunteers in ministry and God has been incredibly faithful to meet both our family and ministry needs through a few committed churches, and many faithful individuals over the years.  We’re asking Him to provide a significant increase in our regular support, as our area of influence is expanding and our children are growing up.

Multiplying for Missions

Challenging the church to see opportunities,
Equipping believers to be salt and light,
for Missions!
Mobilizing Christians to GO!
Moses & Jo Kariuki – YWAM Missionaries in Kenya & N. Africa

As the family begin to settle and thrive in this new season, we are thankful for the open doors God has given us! It is, as always, a joy to be part of the Kingdom!

Multiplying for Missions – It’s been a privilege for Moses to teach at two Discipleship Training Schools here in YWAM Kenya. During the month of April the children had a 3 1/2 week break (between terms) from school and it was great to be able to do a bit of travelling together - we were able to go as a family and stay at the YWAM base when Moses taught on "The character and nature of God," in the Discipleship Training School at Athi River, just outside of Nairobi, about two hours from our home. Moses also travelled to Mombasa in May for a week, where he taught on Biblical Worldview, and was able to baptize 13 students in the Indian Ocean.

Stirring up the church - We have also been networking with local churches quite a bit, Moses was asked to assist with forming a missions board 'vision/policy' at our home denomination here, which is a work in progress, and of course many invitations to share on Sunday mornings. Also a joy to do a seminar with a Tent-making "Missions-Focus group" from our home church on Kingdom Economics. We are also thankful that Moses' trip to Tanzania to teach in a local church there with Jo's brother went well and was a fruitful time.

The Harvest awaits - in the Sahel and the Maghreb. Chad is continually in our hearts, and we are thankful that the presidential elections, although quite tense, were peaceful. Our staff there are preparing for another DTS this summer. Moses will spend a few weeks with them in July, after attending a North Africa regional leadership meeting followed by a staff conference in Spain.

Kenya Location - As we continue to “find our feet,” in life and ministry here in Kenya, we are thankful. The children have settled into school and begun to make friends and excel in school work. We are so proud of their hard work and willing attitude in all the transitions they have navigated. Our vision to serve across the continent consulting, speaking, Mentoring and Mobilizing continues to unfold

In August, we plan to travel to the US, and look forward to seeing friends and family there. Due to the children’s school schedule, our time there will be fairly short – but we hope to pack it full of friends and family time. We appreciate prayers for provision for Tickets and Travel needs.

Thanks so much for your love, prayers and support!!

Moses and Jo
