Dear Grace Family -
We have arrived in Gatab with no mechanical trouble or flat
tires! We
are truly thankful as we passed through quite a bit of mud.
Jeff
recently purchased new tires which are specially designed to get
trough
the mud - we did not fishtail or slide once! The tires are
worth every
extra penny. (the additional cost was only $100)
We also passed through with no security trouble. Please be
praying for
the region as there are many underlying issues to be resolved
before
peace can be a reality. The people of Mt Kulal are generally
known for
their peaceful ways and typically do not initiate violence. We
believe
the gospel has had significant influence here as many who once
would
have pursued revenge, look to the Lord to be the avenger. There
is much work still to be done, especially in areas north of us.
We pray for the gospel to be brought to these regions.
Even since being back here on the mountain, we have heard of a
desire in
two different communities near-by specifically asking for more
church involvement. N'baranat, a community close by (a 45
minute walk from Gatab) has asked for regular preaching to come
to their community. Sixty people are gathering there each
Sunday, including many older men - an age group typically
resistant to the Gospel. The other place is called Pili-Pili
and is located ont he North-East side of the mountain, a region
that has often seen much instability. They as well have asked
for regular preaching to come there. Our pastor, Job Learamo
and Dr. Focking traveled there today by truck to conduct a
spiritual and medical mission. Pray for the Lord's healing hand
both physically and spiritually. We also have another pastor
who is living in Gatab who does itinerant preaching. He is now
traveling around to three or four different communities where
there are fledgling churches.
Upon returning, we are impressed by the work there is to be done
for the Kingdom. We appreciate your support, concern, and
prayers as we embark on a new term here in Northern Kenya. The
work is definitely exciting and yet daunting at times. Speaking
of daunting, the last two days have been filled with the
physical work of unpacking and organizing the house. I had a
great start since Jeff had been here for several weeks before I
arrived. It is great having 7 grown up people to tackle this
task, and much is done already.
In His Hands - Peg

hosts."
