We had the Back to the Word conference that Josh was putting together with another Pastor in Eldoret and it went very well. Josh taught probably 7 sessions and we had some Calvary pastors from Nairobi come up and share as well. The people loved it! About 85 people showed up at this all day conference and it was a real blessing. Pastors that came were challenged to stop relying on their own ideas of how church should go and what to say at church but just to get back into the Word of God teaching line upon line and precept upon precept; the was it was explained in Nehemiah chapter 8. The men were encouraged to explain the sense of the scripture rather than try to just make church entertainment. I believe that they really took this challenge back to their churches..
WE said goodbye to our good friends Robby and Elizabeth Gordon. They handed over their church are moving to Samoa to start a new Calvary there. This was a sweet but sad time. God is so good. They donated some baby stuff to us and blessed us with a car! This was such an answer to prayer for us. They also gave us some things for the house. They are a great example of pouring out their lives and hearts for the Lord and His people and have blessed many in Kenya!
Well this month (May) has many things in store. Josh is sharing at The East Africa Bible college tomorrow (May 9th) for a chapel service. Next Sunday he is sharing at another church in Eldoret right after our Sunday Morning service.
Oh by the way... did I mention we started our Sunday Morning services?? We started May 1st and it has been just a few people but it is such a blessing. Our evening services are the biggest. Praise the Lord for bringing people to hear the Words of God.
Next month we have a team of 7 or 8 people coming out from Calvary Bangor Maine and we are preparing and getting excited for that. We are going to be visiting orphanages, Painting a school for the Orphans, Going out into a church in the bush to teach at their church and pass out around 100 Bibles. It will be such a blessed time.
Prayer requests:
For the team coming that the Lord provides for everything leading up to the trip.
That there will be fruit from the conference last month.
For Calvary Eldoret, that the Lord continues to lead us in how to lead this church and the Lord works in the lives of the people here.
For continual provision for us living out here.
Also for Both Josh and I for health. There have been some big sicknesses going around.
We love you all...
God bless you.
Josh and Kelsey
