As we prepare to spring back into action in Africa, Mimi and I thank you for your prayers and for your support of our mission to the beautiful and needy people of Africa.  Our 2009 summer will be jammed full of Bible teaching in African churches and classrooms.  With heartfelt thanks for your help, here are a few mentions of God’s work planned for the remainder of 2009:

• Mentoring our 6 resident African faculty members teaching Old and New Testament classes and assisting them as they train younger teachers to follow
• Mentoring 5 North American students (Regent College, Gordon-Conwell Seminary, Cambridge University, and Southwestern Seminary) as they teach young pastors for the first time in Africa
• Providing course materials, and mentoring teachers, for new Bible courses at the Kenya Baptist Theological College and Daystar University
• Mentoring and providing funding for our African university and seminary students
• Teaching an Old Testament Theology class in Africa for the first time
• Extending our ministry of discipling young pastors to the western provinces of Kenya
• Preaching a full schedule in slum churches with students (Kibera, Kangemi, and Kayoli)

Over the last few months, we have kept very busy working on HaMoreh’s African projects.  God is growing our work as He excites those around us with amazing ministry opportunities in Africa!  This is a critical time in the lives of Africans. So, we seek your further support.  HaMoreh’s 2009 budget is $119,000.  Here are several needs for the remaining days of 2009:

• Providing textbooks and other materials for 2 additional courses (OT and NT Theology)
• Funding scholarships for our African teachers and our African students
• Funding Africa mission costs including international travel, in-country ministry, and completing our digital data base and digital material delivery system

Please also see activites and your support.

Would you please pray about funding needed textbooks, other study materials, scholarships, and other Africa mission costs?  The harvest is plentiful….

Mimi and I are humbly aware that our response to God’s calling to minister in Africa is interwoven with your commitment to support us in this work. We thank God for you, and Mimi and I pray that He will bless you as you continue to journey with us.

Mungu akubariki (“God bless”),
