  A Blessed BlurJune 18, 2009  Like each and every time before, we didn't have enough time to pack, didn't get done all that we had hoped to in Houston, didn't say good-byes to all those we dearly love, didn't feel like we were ready upon arrival, but God continues to care for us wonderfully each and every day.
Sorry for the long delay in writing. Mimi and I have returned to our hearts' home and are more than well. Our schedule in Nairobi has been crazy busy. Yep ... you can take the American out of America, but you can't take....
Thank you for your prayers and for all of your encouraging support. Our travel back home was smooth, and we are busily enjoying our Lord's work in Kenya.
We find that our teachers from the United Sates ministering at Daystar University and at the Kenya Baptist Theological College are challenged, learning, and grateful to be here in this environment. Their experiences remind me that I can try my best to explain the East African cultures, the African worldview, and African Christianity but I fall short. One must feel life with Africans, in Africa, to understand.
As we journey with our African family of faith, I am caused to think more deeply about and to reflect more purposefully upon the gospel. For this opportunity, I remain most grateful. May our faith grow more and more ... like the faith of the early Christians, and like that of our African brothers and sisters.
May we all get to know God better as we enjoy Him more!
Love,
Jamie and Mimi

August 18, 2010 In January, we sold all of our belongings, packed a few suitcases with clothes, and moved ourselves to South Africa. Our initial purpose of this re-location was to provide Kris with the best opportunity where he could pursue his desire to better understand Biblical Hebrew; and it just so happens that Stellenbosch University has one of the leading Biblical Hebrew linguists in the world. But, upon arriving here we had no idea what to expect – and honestly, for about an entire month we were ... August 12, 2010 Over the years of ministering part-year in Africa, Mimi and I have grown to really delight in helping other Westerners enjoy sharing life here with our African family of faith. These days, as much ... August 5, 2010 That's right! We've recently discovered some extremely simple and convenient ways you can support our ministry. With Better The World and Goodsearch & Goodshop, helping HaMoreh won't require an ... July 28, 2010 My time in Kenya (so far) can be characterized nicely by an encounter that I had just last night.
