This week we were able to get our latest prayer letters printed, put into envelopes and posted. We thank God for His provision that enabled us to do this. Some Churches will probably only distribute them during the incoming week, but we trust that those who have already had the opportunity to read them, will be encouraged by what God has been doing.
We will shortly be sending out the email version. If you would like to be added to our mailing list for hard copies or to receive it by email, please don't hesitate to contact us and let us know. Please pray much for our forthcoming trip. We have great financial needs and our flights need to be confirmed, but, we are pressing ahead one day at a time and trusting God to bring us to Africa if it is His will. Please pray

We thank God for an encouraging week with various bits of news from different areas. Please pray for Moses in Nakuru as he has an average of 16 centres returning lessons each week. This is a lot of marking. He needs help with marking as does Joyce in Uganda, so please pray that God will guide us in recruiting more markers in the days to come.
This week I was contacted by a girl in Nakuru, Kenya who I have never met. This is a little of what she wrote: "I am a sunday school teacher who uses the Treasure Seekers lessons. They have been so inspiring...I have 45 children doing the lessons...personally, I have also learnt much from the lessons." It is so encouraging to receive messages like this one. Please pray for her and the many other Sunday School teachers who share our lessons with children each week but are also learning so much themselves as a result. I was able to write our prayer letter this week and tomorrow I will collect the hard copies for circulation here in the UK. The email version should follow soon after. Please contact us if you would like to be added to our mailing list. Please make our flights a matter of urgency when you remember us in prayer as we really need to get them confirmed so that we can travel soon. God is in control and we thank Him for that. Keep praying and believing. We were delighted to receive this photo of some children in Nairobi completing our lessons. What an encouragement to see young lives learning God's Word in this way. Their teacher is so keen to bring the Gospel to them and would sincerely appreciate your prayers. We are so thankful for each of these faithful and dedicated men and women of God who have a burden for the children of their country. We still plan, God willing, to travel very soon to Kenya and Uganda. The financial need for this is immense and we really need God's provision for training, practical work, flights, accommodation and car hire. Please pray that God will provide. We hope to be issuing a prayer letter very soon with all of our news. Thank you for your continued prayers. We thank God for His help during another week.
More lessons were brought to the Nakuru area of Kenya and a few more centres have enrolled. Pastor Aringo has also received more enquiries from Mombasa and we thank God for that. As anticipated, our plan to purchase a plot of land met with some frustrations this week, but we continue to trust the Lord for the way forward. We were particularly encouraged this week following a meeting with a representative of CEF. We are so grateful that the Specialised Book Ministry has agreed to give us a large quantity of teaching visuals and materials. We are so excited at this, as these materials have been distributed at our training seminars in the past and very gratefully received by those in attendance. We are currently just finalising numbers and making tentative arrangements for transporting these to Kenya and Uganda. God is so good. I am also excited that, thanks to Tesco coupons and the contents of my money box, saved over quite a period of time, I have been able to get a new laptop this week. I had used my previous one extensively for 6 years and it had become very unreliable and at the end of it's life span. It is so good to have a new one for communicating with Africa and especially one which is reliable for using in meetings. Praise God. Please continue to remember those who are unwell at this time and please continue to pray regarding our next trip as things are very uncertain at the moment. We need something very clear from the Lord so that we know the right steps to take. |
