During this season we are reminded that the Creator

became flesh and dwelt among us.

What LOVE ! Phil 2:5-8
It is beyond our comprehension. His Love! Rom 3:11
He pursues us. True Love, Grace and Mercy! John 3:16
And what does He ask from us? Faith. Heb 11:6

May the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip you with everything good for doing His will, and may He work in us what is pleasing to Him through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever Amen.

Hebrews 13:20-21

Happy New Year

Merry Christmas

For to us a child is born to us a son is given, and the government will be on His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Isaiah 9:6

For those of us who know Jesus and have a personal relationship with Him, we know and live in His peace, joy, grace, mercy, and happiness.

God wants that none should perish but that all should come to repentance.

But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8

Do you know Jesus? Do you know His peace?

John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.

May you all have a joyful Christmas

Morning and Evening in Kenya

Evening in Kenya looking out from my windows. It is quite
beautiful here in Kenya everything is green and the flowers are beautiful.

You can see God's hand everywhere you look.

Mornings are also beautiful, God's awesome light shining through the clouds. When I look at God's sunrises and His sunsets,
I think of God's Word.

Psalm 119:105

"You word is a lamp to my feet

and a light for my path"

Glory to God

My first attempt at Banana Bread in Kenya. As you can see the banana's are very small you can get the bigger banana's like you see in the States, but oh the taste of the little ones. Once I was able to figure out what I needed and then go to the market and get the right ingredients, which is not always easy because the names may be different I was able to put it together. As you can see we tried it and it is great.

To God Be The Glory

Well it has been awhile since I last updated. So much has happened since then. Training was completed on November 9th, and than I flew back to Oregon with just a month to finish preparing for my departure date of December 11th.

It was wonderful to be back with family and friends to worship with them, to spend time fellowshiping, to be back home. Where is home well for me it is where ever God has me laying my head down at night.

So the month home was spent purchasing things still needed to go with me, pack the action packers then repack the action packers. Continued communication with the airlines, saying my farewells. My church Emmanuel Bible Church held a commissioning service for me on December 9th, than the evening of the 9th, they planned a farewell party which I like to say was a PRAISE THE LORD PARTY!!!! It was a wonderful time.

December 11th was departure date. I arrived in Africa on December 12th, after 21 hours in the air. Praise God for the good flights.
So what am I doing now. More prepartion,getting to know people, adjusting to an 11 hour time difference. Repacking the action packers, yes once again. New sounds, new food, new language. Praise God.


TO GOD BE ALL THE GLORY

Action Packers again
