Dear HaMoreh Family,

I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce myself (pictured left) and share with you about the trip on which I am about to embark. For the last three years I have been teaching high school in the Houston area, but about ten months ago I began praying for and seeking an opportunity to teach overseas. Some months ago, I contacted Jamie about joining HaMoreh's ministry in Kenya for an entire year. Like many of you, I was intrigued by Jamie's work in Africa, and became more and more eager to serve with HaMoreh after each conversation I had with him.

This Fall I will be joining our African brothers and sisters at Kenya Baptist Theological College, teaching and helping in whatever other capacity I am needed. I will also be making videos and taking pictures of HaMoreh's work in Kenya, as well as blogging about my experience there in an effort to better share HaMoreh's story. I am excited about the work the Lord has for me, but there is much to be done before I am able to begin my mission in Kenya. I would be very grateful if you would partner with me in prayer as I prepare for my trip.

By God's grace, I have been blessed with a great deal of financial support, yet I still have more to raise before my twelve months overseas is fully funded. Please pray that I would be diligent in sharing my mission with others and faithful in trusting my Father who provides all things. In addition, I still need to free myself up by selling my truck and tying up a few loose ends before I leave, so please pray that these will happen with little stress and in a timely fashion. Lastly and most importantly, please pray for my spiritual well-being. In the last few months I have realized just how attached I am to my comfortable American lifestyle. I believe my experiences in Africa over the next year will yield the blessing of material liberation, but not without cost. Please pray that I would find new comfort in having little in this world yet much in my Savior and in the family of believers with whom I will be serving.

I look forward to serving and sharing with you, my HaMoreh family, over the next year and I hope to get to know some of you well! I invite you to share my experience through my blog: www.chrisbryant.info. Thank you for your support and your prayers. God Bless you all!

"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders, and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Christ Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who, for the joy set before him, endured the cross, scorning its shame, so that he may sit at the right hand of the throne of God." (Heb. 12:1-2)
