We thank God for His help at the Holiday Bible Club in our Church this past week. It was a privilege to work amongst the boys and girls and we thank God for each one who attended. We especially praise God for one child who indicated that they had trusted the Lord as their Saviour during the week. We pray on for each and every child who attended and trust they will all come to know Him as their own and personal Saviour.
It was certainly a busy week travelling and ministering and we are feeling a little tired now. We thank God for His continued help. As we look at our programme from now until the beginning of September, we wonder how we will ever fit everything in. We continue to appreciate your prayers that we will know help in every aspect of the work. We know that people are praying for us and we thank God even for some answers to prayer over the past few days. God is good. Do please continue to pray on for Joyce and Eunice in Africa. Pray that all will know health, strength and provision for their ministry. Pray that Eunice will quickly make new friends in our new office location in Nairobi. We appreciate so much the work they continue to do for the Lord. Please continue to pray most of all that boys and girls will come to know the Lord as their Saviour.

We thank God for the continued privilege it is to serve Him.
As we sent out our most recent prayer letter this past week, we looked back at how God has been blessing over these past months. If you don't receive our prayer letter please do let us know if you would like to be added to our mailing list. It can be received in printed form or by email. There have been so many opportunities to witness for the Lord. We thank God for every lesson sent out by Eunice and for every child who has heard the Gospel from Joyce. We thank God for Kenyan children here in Northern Ireland whom we have had contact with and we look forward to more opportunities. We have been associated with the Kenyan Association of Northern Ireland (KANI) for around 5 years and I (Pamela) am now on the committee. We are excited about our future with working with those who are from Kenya and who have a love for Kenya. Following a meeting this past week, it looks promising that William and I will be organising more children's outreach here in Northern Ireland later in the year. Please remember us as we pray through this opportunity and discuss with others involved. Pray that we will very clearly be guided as to the timing, format and everything which will be involved. We are looking forward to this opportunity very much. As shared in our prayer letter, William and I are now taking a meeting in an old people's nursing home once each month. We have taken 4 meetings so far with the most recent just yesterday. It is such a privilege to witness among these dear people. Yesterday there were quite a lot of visitors there because it was Father's Day, so it was a good opportunity for them to hear the Word of God as well. This incoming week we are helping with the Holiday Bible School in our own Church and looking forward to it very much. Pray for leaders and children alike. Of course we are very excited to let you know (if you haven't yet read our prayer news) that we will soon be travelling to Kenya for a short visit. Please pray with us as we plan, prepare and go. Pray that we will know God's clear guidance and direction in every aspect of the trip. Also this year we have meetings to speak at regarding FML; William is booked to speak at some meetings and taking on some other new responsibilities in God's Word; we will have our stand at a week long missionary convention; we are having a special meeting for the 10th Anniversary of Feed my Lambs and somewhere in the middle of it all we are taking a few days holiday. God is good and we look forward to continuing to serve Him. Busy but exciting days ahead. We speak often of Joyce who works with Feed my Lambs. The photo above shows her two children. The little boy is 2 year old Joseph. Over these past days Joseph was critically ill in hospital. We sent out an email to our prayer partners and posted the need on Facebook. Many people across the world were praying for little Joseph, including of course, his many friends and family in Africa.
We would like thank everyone who prayed. We are delighted to let you all know that he has been discharged from hospital. God really heard and answered prayer. Please pray that the medical bills will be provided for also. So today, in this blog we simply want to Praise God for His goodness and His faithfulness to this wonderful family. There are so many things to give God thanks for. Our prayer letter is currently being printed and will be posted later this week God willing. Email copies will be sent out later today. If you are not on our list, please contact us if you would like to be kept up to date with what God is doing. Finally, our sympathies go to Eunice from our Nairobi office who lost an aunt. The burial was on Saturday. Please keep the family in your prayers. The Nairobi office will be closed this week. Please send an email to pamela@feedmylambs.org.uk if you require assistance in the meantime. Last week was busy with an event of a different kind. We were delighted to be able to join in with Mardaraka Day Celebrations which were being hosted by the Kenyan Association of Northern Ireland. William and I have been involved with the KANI for around 5 years and have attended previous events. Recently I took up a post on the committee and have enjoyed all of the preparations for the event.
So the van was full to capacity with keyboard, computer, projector, PA system, activities for children, tables, Gospel literature and other leaflets for organisations which may be of assistance to Kenyan people living here in Northern Ireland. Others had worked so hard putting together traditional Kenyan food including a "Goat" BBQ!! It was lovely to have so many come together with our common interest being the land of Kenya. Hearing conversations in Swahili and being surrounded by Kenyan flags can temporarily make you forget you are in Northern Ireland. William has been very unwell this past week and spent some time in hospital. Although still feeling very tired and uncomfortable at times, we are thankful that he is not suffering the severe pain of last Tuesday. He has been off work for one week now. We thank God for helping him to attend the event on Saturday although he was exhausted afterwards. We just feel so humbled to have these dear friends here in Northern Ireland and amazed that God has given us such a love for the wonderful people of Africa. Our hearts are heavy today for Eunice, who works in our Nairobi office. She has lost an aunt. Please pray for the entire family at this time. Pray also that God will provide funds for her allowance so that we can send it out to Eunice to enable her to travel upcountry for the funeral. She will appreciate your prayers and support. |
