Back to work........

It is Oct. 31….

Our big market was moved just before we went to USA. The Chinese are building a two story market on the old site, with parking spaces also, we are told. It will take three years to build. Meanwhile, the market is laid out in a quagmire area…. When it rains… quite a challenge to get through without falling in the mud, and finding the people I used to buy from. I found one (with some help). She was discouraged, so I spent some time talking with her. One of the street boys (who doesn’t come to our group) helps me, too. He doesn’t know the Lord.

We have had some good rains and are so thankful for them. As we came out of church Wednesday, the western sky had billowing dark clouds silhouetted by the setting sun. On the horizon below the clouds was a fine line of sun with a few rays beaming through. To the North the heavily snow-capped peaks of Mount Kenya were visible above clouds already below the highlands, which were sunlit as the sun set in the stormy West. How blessed we were to see the beauty.

Classes were a blessing this week in Bible School. I especially enjoyed John 12:20-26. We went visiting Thursday up in Mathaithi and had varied responses to the Truth; from “You can’t tell me anything I don’t know,” to just silence.

We have been given 100 bales (the old fashioned rectangular kind) of hay for our seven goats and two cows. We are thankful. The foundation was also dug for Pastor Ndegwa’s house up at Mathaithi. We will work on it as we can after the roofing sheet church is finished. The work on the well has made no progress yet.

The deaf ministry is in a slump. We are praying the Lord will give wisdom in our priorities and ministries. There were three deaf and four hearing today.

A man made a profession of faith while the Awana program was going on this evening up at Mathaithi. We are to try to go and visit his family this week.

This week we are to meet with the Principal of a local school to see about ministry there next year. We are praying for God’s leading in decisions.

Thankful for the faithfulness of our God Who has given His Word, taught, led, comforted, rebuked, shown mercy to our predeccessors, as and will do so to our children and their children. Psalm 119:90.

Love you,

Sandy for us both

We are about over our “bugs” though Terry still has back trouble.
