I have been greatly blessed with many ministry opportunities since I have been home, and have been able to share my faith with unbelievers. Not only this but I have also  been blessed with many speaking opportunities.

I am sorry for not posting more updates! I have purposefully avoided blogging to try and keep content regarding my work in Africa from being buried deep beneath a month of blog posts.

A Big thank you to Knickerbocker Community Church for their hospitality this week. I greatly enjoyed sharing with you all what I have seen over the past year.

Fundraising is going well, and people have been very generous, however, I will need to be home at least another month before I am financially where I need to be to return to Africa.

Besides spending time at churches here in America, I have some updates from Africa:

In the Nandi Hills, 13 of the pastors I met will be going through the BTCP curriculum -studying God’s Word from cover to cover. We will work with them for 3 years. This is very exciting news for me. They had expressed their interest, but seeing things develop shows they are truly committed to start a class.

My ladies group in the market is still meeting in my absence. They are all doing well and learning about the Word thanks to one of my African Sisters in Christ who is teaching them in my absence.

My other classes seem to be doing well, but they are ready for me to return.

I spent yesterday having lunch with my next door neighbor. She attended the same university as me, went to the church across the street from mine, and lived in the town next to me, but we never met until we were living across the street from each other in Africa. We had a good time talking about how much we miss Kitale. She will be flying home to Africa next week.

After this, I had a wonderful time with Eldorado’s Backyard Bible Club. I had heard a lot about them from Jim and Melony Roche, so it was a blessing to finally spend some time with these kids. I don’t know how many of them come from Christian families, but it was a joy to see them learning about Christ, memorizing scripture, and having fun.

Point being, I am home safe. I am sorry for my lack of communication! I am very frustrated right now and very behind in my schedule, but with God all things are possible, and I trust that I will be back on my feet in His timing.

I asked these ladies to hold up their books so I could take a picture for you all. These Foundation Course books were not given to them for free. They purchased them with their own hard work. You can tell a student is truly committed when they buy their own books instead of asking for them, fill them out independently, and readily teach what they have learned to other women at their home church.

These sweet ladies have shown up to class each week with a huge thermos of tea and homemade bread for their teachers. I have learned there is no need for packing lunch when going to Kaptama. These people won’t let you leave without sharing what they have.
