Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens,
 your faithfulness to the clouds.
Your righteousness is like the mountains of God;
your judgments are like the great deep; man and beast you save, O Lord.
How precious is your steadfast love, O God!
The children of mankind take refuge in the shadow of your wings.
They feast on the abundance of your house,
and you give them drink from the river of your delights.
For with you is the fountain of life; in your light do we see light.
Oh, continue your steadfast love to those who know you,
and your righteousness to the upright of heart!
Psalm 36:5-10

Hello Dear Family in Christ!

I pray you all are doing wonderfully well trusting and growing in Christ every day! Truly this time has been a time of much needed preparation as the Lord prepares us to be sent out. I know that probably is true for every one of you too! The spiritual need is just the same here as it is in Africa and everyone of us who have surrendered our lives to Christ are being built up to be poured out for those around us. Every Christian is a missionary in different ways!

We have some exciting news! WE HAVE PLANE TICKETS! Lord willing August 27 we will journey across the ocean and once again breathe in the familiar air of our Kenyan home. :) :) EEEEEEEEEEKKKK!!We are just a little excited ;)
I know it may seem silly and foolish to some but that is as far as our plans go. We have ideas of what we could be doing there but it is all in the Lords hands and He will unfold each day as He so desires. We do not want our agenda to get in the way of the Lords, for His is the only one that will truly accomplish something of eternal value. As Corrie Ten boom says, "Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God."

Thank you so much for everyone who has been praying alongside us. We ask that you would please continue to do so, especially in these next few months of preparation. Please be praying for the children there, if the Lord desires to place some of them in our home, that He would handpick those children and prepare their hearts to receive Jesus. We love you all and are so thankful for each and everyone of you, as you all have blessed our lives in some way!

Onward and upward brothers and sisters into the endless frontier of our Father!
