Prayer Needed
This weekend is going to be a very busy one for me and I would like for you to remember me in your prayers in the following ways:
- College Night Live: I am standing in for Gedion who has been teaching in the College Night Live Fellowship the whole of this term. Gedion has gone to Nairobi for the Burial of one of his friends. I am teaching on forgiveness tonight [October 21 2006] pray that God will be with me as I teach this topic that God is growing me into as well. CS Lewis in writing about this topic begins, “I am not trying to tell you in this book what I could do – I can do precious little – I am telling you what Christianity is. I did not invent it.” This is exactly how I feel! Pray that the Lord will use even my weakness and struggles to make this message more powerful and effective!
- Mombasa Memorial Church Youth Leadership retreat: I will be teaching at a retreat tomorrow morning [October 22 2006] both in the Sunday worship service and a session right after that on the topic of Spiritual Leadership talking specifically on the Cost of Leadership! Please pray that God will use me in a mighty way to bring about his principles of leadership out very clearly and very boldly.
- BTCL: After the retreat I am going to go to my usual Sunday afternoon BTCL class where I will be teaching New Testament Survey for the rest of the afternoon...I need God's strength and your prayers!

Car Wash


It was very slow at the begining with only a handful of cars showing up and few shillings raised. Most the people who came to help tired of just standing around started scattering, but then late in the afternoon it picked up with Oneal (one of our friends) taking lead we started washing every car that made a stop at the church parking lot or anywhere near there.

Present during the carwash also was Allison who worked very hard besides me to wash my car (the only car in parking lot at the time) before she had to leave to go meet with her friend Sandra at her house.

The day ended well with us raising Ksh.9000 and we are hoping to raise the rest in church today during the service. We thank God for the provision of the money and for all the volunteers who showed up to not only make the day a success but full of fun!
After the carwash we had our College Night Live service in Church where Gedion (The guy in Red below) Shared on "Remembering your creator in the days of your youth". After the preaching we had a brief appreciation session for Drew where the College students and volunteers just encouraged Drew by recapping the last four months with him here.

D-Train Ready to depart

Drew will be interviewing with K-Life in Dallas a few hours after he lands and the interview will last for about three days afterwhich (if they hire him) he will be discipling Junior high and high school kids in North Dallas.
Please pray for Drew as he leaves that the Lord will bless his going out as He blessed his coming into Mombasa.
I WILL MISS YOU VERY MUCH DREW!!!!
Health

As you know I need my voice to work and talk to people - which is, I think one of my hobbies. The funny thing was that the doctor told me not to talk and to rest - not very possible with Dennis but if it is going to make me feel good I am ready to not talk and to rest! YES I said NOT TALK...I might just be able to surprise myself! hahahahaha
Allison has been a great Nurse to the team and especially to me...I have been getting really close and special medical attention from the team nurse or should I say the team is borrowing my personal nurse! Thanks Babe - you are awesome!
Please pray for me to regain back my health quickly to have the discipline to eat well and rest much! Thanks.
