LIFT UP YOUR EYES

26/8/2012

0 Comments

 
These past few days we have been reminded to lift up our eyes unto the fields.  There is certainly much work to do in God's harvest field and we pray that we may be faithful labourers for Him.

Please continue to pray for the children in Kenya who are completing our Bible Lessons.  We have been told that around 150 will have completed the entire course by the end of September and are already asking "What next?".  Please pray that we will be guided as we consider the next step for these children.  We now have to prepare certificates for them and make a few other arrangements.  It is our prayer that we can continue to minster to these young people and not just let them go when the course is completed.  We want to continue to nurture them and to be a witness and a support to them.

We are looking forward to heading to the missionary convention tomorrow and will return every evening this week, so it will be a busy number of days for us.  We will have an information stand with plenty of photos, information and literature for distribution.  We look forward to sharing our work with those who attend.  There are quite a few last minute preparations to be done tomorrow morning, so we do appreciate prayer for that.

We have prepared a small update on the work over the past year to bring to the missionary convention, so that people we met last year can see what God has been doing.  It has been a blessing to us as we prepared it and give thanks to God for what He has been doing in FML.  It has certainly been another fruitful and exciting year.  Sometimes, we don't notice it as we go along, but when we look back we are humbled by just how much God has done.

We continue to value your prayers and ask you to remember us in the coming days.

KNOWING GOD'S HELP

19/8/2012

0 Comments

 
William and I were able to go through everything for the Missionary Convention which we will be at during the last week of August.  We have sorted out leaflets and prayer cards etc.  and ordered the items we need more of.  A few photos onto disc and a final change to the notice board and we'll be ready.  We are looking forward to the opportunity to share our ministry again and to renew fellowship with other missionary friends.

We thank God for His continued help each day and we trust Him for continued wisdom in every situation we face.  We often face quite big decisions and it is then we realise just how much we need Him.  But we don't want to forget Him in the small things either!

Please pray that God will open many more opportunities to share our ministry in Church meetings, both with adults and children.  Please contact us if you are interested to have someone share with you in Northern Ireland, Kenya or Uganda.

SO MUCH TO DO...

12/8/2012

We would specifically ask prayer for us as we prepare for a number of events that we will be involved in over the coming weeks. 

The Bangor Worldwide Missionary Convention will take place every evening during the last week of August.  We will have a stand at this.  We enjoyed our time there last year and are looking forward to returning.  We want to prepare a few new handouts for our stand this year especially in regard to our new field of service in Uganda.

Also at the end of August we have opportunity to travel to an event in England.  We would really like to attend this, but are having difficulty getting transport arranged as times and prices aren't in our favour at the moment with both flights and the ferry.  Please pray that God will open up this door for us if it is His will.  Otherwise we may plan for next year.

On the third Saturday in September it will be the annual Country Comes to Town event in my home town where our market stall is based.  It is always a busy day for us.  We are planning a few additional things this year and are considering how to go about this.  Pray for guidance.

All of these events are good opportunities for us to share about our ministry and raise awareness of it.  Please pray that God will use these

GOD IS FAITHFUL

5/8/2012

We thank God for His blessings over another week and we thank you so much for praying for the needs mentioned in our last post.  God provided the Ksh 18000 (£150) which we needed to urgently send to Kenya.  We were also able to send off a cheque for the Bibles which are available in Nairobi; including the extra which we had not originally counted upon.  God willing, Pastor Aringo will collect these Bibles this week.

I had an encouraging conversation by phone this week with Pastor Aringo and we give God the glory for how the work is continuing.  Another new centre has enrolled just outside of Nairobi and another enquiry received from Uganda.

We heard the story of how a Pastor in Uganda received a number of our lessons for the children but somehow managed to loose them.  However, someone else found them, saw Pastor Aringo's phone number on the lessons and contacted him to say he had them.  We are thankful that they did this and these lessons were not wasted.

We are hoping that Pastor Aringo may be able to travel to Uganda in the near future to visit Joyce and see the work there.  He also intends to travel to Western province very soon to present some Bibles.

With our lessons being more accessible now, many children in Kenya are nearing the end of the complete course and are asking, "What next?"..... Please pray that God will guide us very definitely regarding follow up and introducing new ministries.

Please pray on for Joyce as she visits the centres in Uganda each month.  Remembering also our other representatives in Kenya, praying that God will bless each one.

There are a couple of men who assist Pastor Aringo in our office in Nairobi.  Please pray for one of them who was injured this week when a block fell from a height as he passed a building site and hit him as he walked by.  He was rushed to hospital but has since been discharged, but still needs our prayer for complete healing.

We have been looking at flights and various dates this week and are praying about when our next trip should be.  We would love to get something finalised very soon and ask you to pray that God will provide and guide.  We know that His timing is perfect and we can see some very clear reasons as to why we did not end up travelling in July.  We know it was for the best.

The market here in Northern Ireland was busier this weekend as people begin to return from their holidays.  We trust that things will gradually pick up.

Another assignment was emailed out this week in our email child protection course.  Please pray for our students as they continue to learn.

Thank you for praying for our Pastor friend whose situation we mentioned in our last post.  The family have been able to bury their loved one, though they still remain with some financial need as a result.

God is so faithful and we just thank Him for His continued grace and mercy to us.  Please continue to pray for the salvation of boys and girls.
