Africa, here we come!
By luke g. on Feb 22, 2010 in Journal
I wanted tolet you know about a trip I’m taking for the next two weeks. Most of you probably already know, but I am heading to Kenya, Africa. I’m traveling with three good friends from Trinity Christian Fellowship (Glen, John, and Lana).
I leave today, Feb. 22nd, and will be gone until March 8th. While in Kenya, our team from TCF is joining some other friends from Conway Celebration Church out of Conway, AR. Last year I went to Nepal with their pastor, Cary Cox.
While in Kenya, we plan to be a part of the following:
- Build a green house for an orphanage in the city of Kakamega;
- Teach various pastor conferences;
- Preach the gospel “open air” in a variety of cities;
- Teach a women’s conference;
- Teach a “New Believer’s” conference;
- Minister to orphans;
- and much more!
We’re really excited about this opportunity! It was just a few months ago that we began praying about going to Kenya and sensed the Lord directing us to go there. We needed to raise over $15,000 to cover our expenses and to build the green house! Well, that was a lot of money for us to raise! TCF is a small congregation and our community is very much “blue collar,” so I was very curious how this was going to all work out! But that didn’t matter to God! Jesus once told His followers that “with man it is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God” (Mark 10:27). God’s hand has been on this trip and we are excited that all of the money needed was raised!
I have been sooo blessed to see the support coming in from friends and family and other churches! It has been humbling and encouraging to see how God has used so many different people to help us accomplish His purposes for this trip! One small Baptist church in Chicago actually paid for the entire green house! Go Baptists!
Anyway, I wanted to give you a quick update and let you know why I haven’t been writing much lately and to also ask you for prayer! We could use prayer for the following:
- Safe travel!
- Effective evangelism and teaching!
- Building the green house will take a lot of time and energy! Please pray for Glen and the rest of the people helping build that!
- Pray for the women’s conference. Lana will be teaching a bunch of Kenyan women, so pray for her!
- Pray for me (Luke) and Glen as we do some “open air” evangelism! Pray that the gospel is received and people turn from their sin to Christ!
- Most importantly, pray that the name of the Lord is glorified and that many, many people in Kenya come to know Jesus as their Messiah!
I thank you for your prayers, your involvement, and your friendships! Feel free to pass this on to anyone you think may be interested to know more about our trip. I plan to do my best updating thinktheology.org with news of our trip, depending upon how much Internet time we get!
For the glory of Christ,
