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 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.

A wonderful, quick tour in Istanbul

It's Time to Come Home

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...

Broken...But God...

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...
