Dear Praying Friends, January 2012
GRACE TO THE REGIONS BEYOND
Our most recent ministry, Grace To The Regions Beyond, continues to bear much fruit. This ministry has been started to help the national believer reach into areas of the world that are very difficult or nearly impossible for a Western missionary to reach. We have partnered with our church in Kenya, the Grace Bible Baptist Church, to coordinate, train, provide accountability, and work alongside trained, mature, and worthy nationals who endeavor to do the work of a missionary in the Regions Beyond. We have seen two churches and two bible institutes started in the DR CONGO, and one church and one bible institute started in Burundi. Most recently we have begun training a man to go to Southern Sudan. Southern Sudan is the newest country in the world and is also one of the most war torn and dangerous countries in the world. God has called Peter Kosgei to go to this needy land. Peter is a graduate of our bible college and has been a pastor here in Kenya for five years. Please pray for Peter as over the next year we will be giving him the additional training he needs in order to prepare him to go to this needy land.
RIFT VALLEY BAPTIST COLLEGE
We just finished one of our better college sessions. It was exciting to see some new students enrolled along with many returning students. In total we had 103 students. We continue to see much fruit spread throughout Kenya from the Bible College. We have now trained over 40 men who are pastors somewhere in Kenya.
MISSIONS CONFERENCE
From our first day of ministering in the Grace Bible Baptist Church we endeavored to see a strong missions program started. We were told by many in both words and actions that it was not possible for the poor people of Africa to give like we were expecting. There have been many ups and downs along the way but we have learned over these last 13 years that the principles of giving to missions are the same world wide. This last year the GBBC gave over 300,000 Kenya Shillings to missions and this year they have committed to give over 320,000 KS. I believe that it is because of their giving that God has entrusted them to begin reaching into the Regions Beyond.
FURLOUGH
We are scheduling furlough meetings for May– September 2012. We mentioned in our last letter that if you would like us to come to your church to contact us at rawtokenya@gmail.com . We have heard from some but not many. If possible we would love to report to your church all that God has been doing in Kenya and the Regions Beyond. We can also be reached at 254.733.600.798. We hope to hear from you.
His for Kenya
And the Regions Beyond,
