Accuracy

Living out one’s life for Jesus is not easy.  We live in a world where many people cheapen a walk with Jesus by not accurately displaying the truth of who He is.  We ourselves are guilty of leading others astray.  We understand what it means to be a person whose lips out do their actions.  Especially in our teenage years.  We look back and have many things we would change about how we did things.  In particular we wish we could have displayed a more spiritually disciplined and accurate life that truly reflects who Christ is and what He has done in our lives.  With that said, it should be of no surprise that we are very serious about seeing people live out truth in how they talk, act and live each day. 

The mission field is never easy, and we find ourselves seeking to see the Lord grow true disciples that will reflect Him and His glory.  We see many victories in our brothers and sisters in Christ in how they live out their faith.  We also see many struggling and trying to understand what this really means.  The hardest part for us is when leaders who should know better find themselves deliberately/non deliberately living in sin.  One of the things we are always seeking to figure out is how do we truly demonstrate grace and yet protect the integrity of the holiness of God?  His Word guides us to pursue after Him and His righteousness.  This in turn helps us see that how we live our lives truly represents God and how others will see Him.  We desire to be gracious yet set a high standard for those that are following after Christ.

We aren't seeking to see perfect people, but we do seek to see men and women including ourselves whom will live lives of accuracy that are true to the Word of God.  We don't want to just be a good old' boy or girl but someone that will stand for Truth when no one else will all at the same time serving the very least.  We believe that as we live out Christ we will also learn to love, serve, protect, and guide others according to the standards of the Bible and the example that Christ Jesus gave us as he lived here on earth.  May this month be a month of accuracy in reflecting God's patience with others.

It's Time to Come Home

Image
The Lord has prepared us and led us to make a significant change.  We're coming back to the USA!  Many things have helped us make this decision, but ultimately, the Lord is leading us, and we are just continuing to be faithful to Him. We haven't changed.  Our hearts remain steadfast.  The passion and desire for His Kingdom to come and His will to be done continue to grow within us.  However, we will now live this out on the front lines of the USA in Texas. We are excited to announce Adam will be the senior Pastor at First Baptist Church Valley Mills, Texas.  He will be officially starting at the end of June.  Suzie should be teaching at the elementary school in Valley Mills.  Baylee and River will finish the school year in Nairobi as we pack up the house and say our goodbyes well.  Baylee graduates high school on May 25th.  We will return to the USA in the first part of June to take a little time to decompress before beginning ministry i...

Short but Packed

Image
February is a short month but we packed it full! (No surprise!!) Baylee kicked off the month in Olepolos, a village south of Nairobi, where she served a church and its community alongside some classmates. She was able to share the gospel, serve in the church, work on the church and love on the children and students in the village. Adam & Suzie got to tour Istanbul on a long layover headed to Athens where they spent time with others leading the strategy for their cities in other parts of the world. It was incredible to visit places with such rich histories and ancient landmarks, both in Istanbul and Athens. God is on the move around the world. He's the same yesterday, today and forever, which is mind-blowing, especially when your standing in front of an olympic stadium that was built in 330BC, and that's still not as old as creation. Friends from Madagascar had a long layover and we were able to reconnect for a short visit.  It had been years since we'd seen each other a...

Broken...But God...

Image
The world is broken. This can cause our hearts to become downcast. There are so many issues, moral, political and natural, that cause pain and suffering. But God... On the 29th of January, we visited the site of my Triathlon accident. It was the one year anniversary. I wore my "But God..." t-shirt to express his goodness even in times of hardship. It's good for us to look back and remember God's goodness. We know the victory is won. Jesus is on the throne. We're in the end times. May we live with urgency that all would have the opportunity to hear and respond. We've had the opportunity to go out evangelizing in the town of Juja a number of times over the past year. Last week we were there again. As we began walking the streets and stopping to share with those in the community, we came across a group of young ladies. They had exposure to the gospel and confessed they were seeking to good even in the midst of temptation but they had not yet believed and confesse...
