Return from Kenya

Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us-Ephesians 3:20

Well we made it back from Kenya, yesterday (9/22) afternoon at about 3 pm. It was good to land back on U.S. soil and see my family but it was also a little sad leaving Kenya. The Lord did so many things and we were blessed to be apart of His work so it was sad to leave a place where we saw the hand of the Lord.

I can't wait to go back. We are already praying about where the Lord would send us next year. We have been extended offers to return to Kenya but also to go to Zanzibar which is off the coast of Tanzania and to the country of Sudan. What a wonderful opportunity! So we will pray and see where the Lord leads. As my pastor always says, where God guides, God provides. We pray that we will listen to the Spirit of the Lord and be open to His leading.

I've got to give props to my partners in ministry, Miguel, Anthony, Mikey and Luis. They made this a fun trip. I really enjoyed their youthful exuberance, singing, jokes, and laughter. It was fun to go with a group of guys who really want to serve God but also want to enjoy life. So thanks guys.

For those who supported our trip and prayed for us, we thank you (Asante-Thank you in Swahili).

Finally, Lord, thank you for opening this door. We could not have done it without you. You demonstrated how great you are each and every day of this trip. May we continue to seek your face and submit ourselves to your will in order for your kingdom to be accomplished on this earth, Amen.
