For those of you who have supported Nancy and me through the years, you know we have done all kinds of pro- jects but I think this may be one of the most significant. As you know, Al-shabab, went into Kenya and murdered 148 Christian students there. As I was thinking about all this, I was reminded that Paul said God did not give us a spirit of timidity but a spirit of boldness. Then I thought, let s get with it. Lets plant churches that preach love and do more , not less, in the time God has given us. Let s just do it!!! So, we are going to help plant these 2 new churches, one in Nairobi and one in Oyugis, close to Lake Victoria. With Gods help, World Wide Disciple Makers International Inc. will help with funding and prayer support and once a year on site visitation if possible.

. AN OPPORTUNITY TO HELP PLANT 2 CHURCHES IN KENYA

Nancy and I have an opportunity to help plant 2 churches in Kenya with 2 of our couples that we taught at African Christian College. Last November we attended the graduation of the class of 2014 and were glad to see our former students and they were glad to see us. We had a discussion with 2 of the couples who were going back to Kenya about their future and where God would use them. In the discussion we talked about partnering with them to plant new churches. As they are now back in Kenya and settled back into the daily routine, we have been communicating back and forth about the possibility of planting the new churches becoming a reality. For those of you who have supported Nancy and me through the years, you know we have done all kinds of pro-jects but I think this may be one of the most significant. As you know, Al-shabab, went into Kenya and murdered 148 Christian students there. As I was thinking about all this, I was reminded that Paul said God did not give us a spirit of timidity but a spirit of boldness. Then I thought, let’s get with it. Let’s plant churches that preach love and do more , not less, in the time God has given us. Let’s just do it!!! So, we are going to help plant these 2 new churches, one in Nairobi and one in Oyugis, close to Lake Victoria. With God’s help, World Wide Disciple Makers International Inc. will help with funding and prayer support and once a year on site visitation if possible.
