Short but Packed

March 03, 2023

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 and it was a special treat!

Adam had the privilege to preach this month and Suzie taught Sunday School. We continue to seek to find ways to serve in the local church and alongside. We've begun going out to evangelize in the area of Juja Farms, where a friend and fellow-pastor is looking to plant a church. "The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few." As we've been praying, workers are raising up.

Adam's discipleship group continues to study the Word together almost every Monday. These young men are on fire for the Lord and remain faithful to seeking and obeying the Lord's leading to live holy and blameless lives, as they boldly proclaim the gospel.

Baylee has been playing soccer this season and is having a winning season. She's scored in quite a few of the games. She will finish and end her season this month. What a joy it's been to see her thrive in sports, especially futbol (soccer).

We continue to serve teams around Sub Sahara Africa with missionaries in their first term, as well as lead the strategy for Nairobi. The Lord is allowing us to lead in a variety of ways on these fronts and we are grateful.

Praises:

*Many are coming to know the Lord through the missionaries and nationals proclaiming the good news.

*Baylee has had a great futbol (soccer) season.

*Adam & Suzie's travels went smoothly (and the kids were well taken care of in their absence.)

Prayer Requests:

*Phoebe & Josh should be having our first grandbaby in March. (Due March 22) Pray Baby Z will come between the 17-22.

*Pray for Emma to find the right job and get back to work.

*Pray for chaplaincy trainings, evangelism & discipleship trainings and other ministry activities taking place in March.
