Mimi and I continue to be well, and we are now back working at Daystar University during the week. Our time at the Athi River campus brings new adventures every day.

Thank you for your prayers. God is blessing! Mimi and I are well and we are enjoying our work at Daystar University in Nairobi and in Athi River. Please continue to pray for us and for all those whom we share God's love with here. Mimi and I are off to the Kenya Baptist Theological College for days of meeting and preaching in Limuru. We anticipate bad weather in the mountains. Thank you for praying especially for our health and stamina over the coming days!

Mimi and I learn much from my African students - thank you, Lord, ...

“The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by hands. And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything, because he himself gives all men life and breath and everything else. From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set ...
