Dear Friends,
We have been praying about what we should do. The economy has drastically affected our community and church community, so I was not sure about going back for a pastor's conference, and police conference. I have received permission from the church leadership and plan to go in late July through early August. The police conference will be Monday July 26-Friday, The pastor's conference will be Mon. Aug. 2-5, so they can go home for services.
Please pray for those planning to go. I have 3 policemen who want to go minister. I have 2 or 3 more who want to be there especially for pastor's conference, and just after, when the children and youth are out of school.
Pray for funds to help the pastors come from all around Kenya, as many of them live on meager incomes, and this week at camp is the best sustained eating they do all year. They get to fellowship with other pastors, pray and share together, and encourage one another. Many have been to other conferences, and were in school together at Karatina.
Pray for God to prepare our hearts, and their hearts, and for His clear leading in how we can best serve the churches there.
The time is short, so if you want to go, let me know. The ticket I priced today was $1,904 from Atlanta to Amsterdam to Nairobi, and back. Accomodations are about $10 per night, and then meals. My number at the church is 706-635-4390.
Papa and Mama are very excited that I get to come. My sister Sandra and her husband Terry will be in the USA July 15-Sept.15, for their daughter Joy's wedding, so they will feel good that I am there for at least part of the time.
Thank you for your prayers.
Love,
Steve
