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.

Love, Moses & Jo, Josh, Zack, Marianna &Katy

Missions Rewind and summer road trip

Our summer was very busy as the Lord opened the doors and led us on a 5000 mile road trip across several states.  Our journey started in PA to Wisconsin where we had an invitation to share at YWAM Madison.  In Nebraska we were blessed to visit Andee, our former ‘Mission Nanny’ and her husband Teddy.  Jo got to show her family around YWAM Cimarron, CO, where her journey in missions began 21 years ago, and spend a few days enjoying the mountains.  We were privileged to catch up with precious friends in Colorado Springs & Denver as well as meet with new ones near Fort Collins.  Missions Rewind with Crossroads Church in Freeport and Polo, Illinois was so encouraging as we listened to reports from teams who ministered in Joplin, Missouri and Brazil – powerful evangelism and miracles in abundance!  What a joy to hear what God is doing around the nation and globe even as we share what is happening in Chad.   We also spent a weekend in Maine, getting to know the wonderful folks at Messiah Christian Church.  God is good!

We shared about Chad in YWAM bases and churches and had much prayer directed that way;   it has been good to look back and share about the faithfulness of our God, there is lots of encouraging interest in our current campus project, the "Village des Nations" and we are thankful.  Everywhere we got to share, we saw God move and restore people in an encouraging way.  We were reminded how easy it is for winds to sweep away our hearts of gratefulness and replace them with unwarranted discouragement.  Seasons change; summer to fall, winter to spring but those who trust in God remain steadfast. 
It is a choice not to trust in horses and chariots but in the Lord. (Psalm 20:7)
