JUNE-JULY 2014 PRAYER LETTER

Dear Praying Friends,                                                  

BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH– BUJUMBURA BURUNDI

On the 27th of July the Grace Bible Baptist Church will hold its first official service in its new church plant in Bujumbura, Burundi. There has been much prayer, planning and work gone into starting this new church and it is without a doubt one of the most exciting church plants we have been involved with.  A group of men from Grace Bible Baptist Church will be traveling to Bujumbura to help with and be part of the first service.  There will also be a group of men from the Bible Baptist Church of Uvira, DRC traveling to Burundi to help.  We have been able to sign a five year lease on a piece of property and have begun putting up a temporary structure to meet in.  We praise the Lord that there are now three Kenyan churches that have begun giving a monthly missions offering to help with this new church plant. 

THE KAZIMIA STORY

Our trip last month to Kazimia, DRC was everything that we desired it to be.  We were blessed and God moved our hearts but it has been difficult for me to put into words my exact feelings.  I don’t think my words can ever accurately express what my heart felt.   If you would like to read about our trip you can find it at our blog mickeystokenya.blogspot.com. I also made a small video presentation of the Kazimia Story that can be found on youtube.com.  A link to the video can by found on our blog update.

BOREHOLE

God recently touched the heart of someone to give a substantial offering that has allowed us to finish our borehole project.  Nakuru is notorious for water problems which has greatly hindered us in our church ministries. The new well will allow us to have a proper water supply for the church, school, Bible College and other ministries.  Thank you for allowing God to use you.

FURLOUGH

As mentioned in our last prayer letter, we will be on furlough February 2015 through May 2015.  God has been working in Kenya and in the Regions Beyond and we look forward to reporting on God’s blessings of the last few years to as many of our supporting churches as possible.  If you would like our family to make a report to your church during this furlough we ask that you please send us an email at rawtokenya@gmail.com.  Additionally, we can be contacted by phone at 254.733.600798.  Remember, we are 7 hours ahead of EST.  We will only be in the States for a few months and will try to accommodate those who contact us early. Trying to put together a furlough schedule is oftentimes like putting together a giant jigsaw puzzle.  Most often the pieces fit together, but the earlier we begin working on it the better.  We would love to visit you during this furlough, and if that is your desire also then please let us know.  If you have already expressed interest in us coming to your church we will be contacting you soon with some possible dates.

His for Kenya,

And the Regions Beyond,

Robert Mickey Jr.
