A Future Direction

So often we sit and ponder what God has instore for those who serve Him.  Often the way seems so uncertain until you have practically stummbled upon it.

We have been asking God to guide us and lead us in regards to what direction to go.  We have arrived in Kenya, we have had a chance to do various ministries, we have started learning Kiswahili, we have got a place to stay for the mean time... Yet we needed direction from God.

Well, after the many medical adventures, Phil's doctors suggested that for a period of time, it would be best to remain within driving distance of a good hospital.  Not that anything is wrong - but just to be safe incase something were to happen again.

Also, just recently, Phil was involved in a planning meeting for another Men's Conference.  In that meeting he met several people who are in charge of the Christian Education Department for the entire Region (about 100 churches).  In the course of conversation, Phil shared about the ministry and what we are doing here in Kenya.  From that conversation a door opened up...

We have been asked to write material in English and Kiswahili that the Africa Inland Church (AIC) can use for their Christian Education Department... Not just in one or two churches, but for the entire Region!  We would be involved with both writing and teaching.

So, with this door having flung open, we are planning on remaining in Kijabe for the next two years.  During this time we will be working on Kiswahili and writing materials.  Additionally, we will be traveling all over the Region to various churches to teach... But these things are not to the neglect of evangelism!  No, even within the Region are many locations that are lacking in both biblical teaching and in a steady witness to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Please continue to pray for us as we have seek God's will for our lives in the coming days and years.  We thank you for your continued prayers and support.  May God alone be glorified in His Church!
