Looking Back, Looking Forward

The Lord is so faithful! In the good times and bad, he is good!


Looking Back at 2021:

Number of Times the Gospel was shared by our NCT (Nairobi City Team): 2052

Number of people that heard the Good News of Jesus Christ by our NCT team: 5821

Disciples made/trained: 782

The number of times our Disciples shared: 2092

People that heard and were called to Salvation: 1122

Total of those Baptized: 204

New Groups started that could become church: 56


As we look back, we praise God for his goodness and faithfulness, remembering that apart from him, we can do NOTHING!


We took time over the holidays to relax. We were able to get away to the coast of Kenya and spend some time in a national park. We spent Christmas at home, worshipped our Savior on Christmas morning with our local church family and continued to try and keep our workload minimal. At the same time, we rested and enjoyed time together as a family.  As with many of you, we had many in our mission family that caught COVID, which kept us from getting together but allowed us to lay low and get some good rest.


Looking forward to 2022:

We've been corresponding with many short-term teams that will be coming to work alongside us in 2022, as well as new units coming to serve long-term with us. We have a great task before us of connecting with more Kenyan church and convention leaders and many trainings that we hope will be taking place in person. But first, our desire is to hear from those local leaders and see how we can most effectively partner together and make much of Christ. Please pray for all of us to have wisdom and discernment.


Praises:

*Emma graduated with a Social Work degree from the University of Mary Harden Baylor

*Baylee got her braces off, finally, after over 3 years!

*River turned 8!

*Suzie made it to the states to lead a training and see family- AND MADE IT BACK HOME!

*The Lord has granted us another year to serve him.

*Baylee & River's school is scheduled to have in-person learning.

*There's an excitement for how the Lord will move in Nairobi and throughout our missions family.


Prayer Requests:

*Unity within the NCT and with Kenyan leaders.

*Health for all

*Ability for short term teams to travel and serve

*Scheduled meetings this year- to be in person and go smoothly
