Putting Words into Action

 As many of you all know, we have arrived safely at our home in Nairobi.  Our time in the USA was lovely, and we are so thankful for the times we had with so many of you.  We truly enjoyed getting to share what the Lord is doing and how He is at work.  The Lord is good, and we are thankful to be considered worthy to be His servants here.  As we shared and updated you all, we were constantly reminded of our need to be true to our words and stay connected to the Lord.  

 

We are now finished with week one in Nairobi, and we are healthy and ready to get to work.  We don’t just want to tell what God has done, but we want to live in unison with Him as He desires to accomplish new things in and through our lives.  Thus, we are here on the ground, ready to get to work.  Now we are ready, but we also need prayers answered so that we know that we are stepping where the Lord desires us to step.  

 

Walking in step with the Lord is our desire.  We want Him to be glorified and honored.  We pray for the Lord to unite hearts from our team and local Brothers and Sisters in Christ.  We pray for a united vision and for us all to work under the Lord’s guidance.  Most of all that we see the reality of African churches sending African missionaries throughout Africa and the world.  Join us in praying and serving the Lord as He does Mighty things for His Namesake.

 

Praises:

  • We made it back safely and are all healthy
  • We have met up with friends, and everyone seems to be doing well
  • We loved our time in the USA, and we are thankful for the time with family
  • Josh, Phoebe, and Emma are doing well.
  • Baylee had a good birthday!

 

Prayer Request:

  • School starts here soon for River and Baylee
  • For ourselves and partners to set our pride and personal agendas aside and allow the Lord to rule
  • That we engage faithfully and whole-heartedly the harvest fields here in Nairobi
  • For the Lord to comfort our hearts and help us see His hand at work
  • For us to serve in all of our roles with excellence as to give the Lord glory and honor in all we do


                                            Thankful for help to load up our bags




                                            Spent good times with different people

                                                        Baylee is now 17!!

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 in Valley Mills. We are forever grateful t

Walking By Faith...through a Never-ending Storm

Image
This past month has been difficult for us as a family.  Actually, this whole year has been tough. We have a need to heal physically but emotionally we just don't feel strong due to not being able to do all the required/wanted activities physically.  We are responsible for so much and we feel as if we are giving our all but it just isn't enough.  However, in our physical and emotional weakness the Lord is faithful. All this to say, what keeps us going is serving the King of Kings and the Lord of Lord's. Being actively involved in God's Kingdom work is where we find ourselves being strengthened and reminded that He is strong and Mighty no matter how we feel. Thus, when things break down, when we find ourselves weak physically, when we feel all alone and abandoned, He is there! The Lord is shining His grace and mercy on so many here in Nairobi and around all of Africa.  He has allowed us by His grace to be a part of it.  He is good and so today be encouraged that He can do

Short but Packed

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
