Looking back…

27 Dec 2011

Looking back over this year, we are thankful for God’s many blessings upon the ministry in Kenya and upon Sherry and me, personally. To mention just a few:

Sherry has successfully come through two dangerous surgeries this year (eye and back). We know many of you were praying, and we are so grateful!

This year also saw Andrew and Abby Lettsome step in and become a critical factor in whatever successes there have been in the Mt. Kenya Baptist ministries this year! We are so blessed by their talents and sweet spirits! It’s hard to belive how quickly they have matured into ‘veteran’ missionaries in so many ways!

Three teams have sacrificed time and finances to come over to Kenya, using their talents and passion to see souls come to Christ and touch lives in many ways. Much eternal fruit has been credited to their accounts!

One of the great challenges of this year has been the ongoing famine in the Northeastern region of Kenya. The hardest hit areas happen to be largely Muslim populations. So, this has been an opportunity to show, in a tangible way, the love of Christ, and thereby earn a hearing for the message of ‘reconciliation’ through Jesus Christ. Many lives are being touched!!

2012 will be a watershed year for Kenya, America, and our Mt. Kenya ministries! We are seeing in Kenya, as you are seeing in your part of the world, no doubt, increasing attacks of evil. But, by God’s grace, we know that He can turn every trial and tragedy into a positive testimony of His love and grace! That is our prayer for the new year!

Merry Christmas & Blessed New Year!

It’s been a BUSY Summer!

23 Aug 2011

Sorry the updates have been few! I’m feeling my “geezer” age now, and it’s hard to keep up the pace. But God’s grace has been sufficient for Sherry and me, and we are thankful to Him, and for YOU and your faithful prayers and support!

July’s highlight was a fantastic team from El Paso. What a great group of people! They had the sweetest attitudes and never complained once about being worked to death! No kidding, I think we put too much on them this time — (most of the same folks came last year too).

They presented the Gospel in song, drama, preaching and personal evangelism in over a dozen schools, open air sites and during a sports evangelism tournament. Well over 100 souls came to Christ, as far as we were able to discern. The last school they visited was 90% Muslim, and there was no visible invitation given because of persecution of new believers. But judging from facial expressions I know that many of these students were impacted by the very clear presentation of the Gospel!

Thanks, Cielo Vista Team! And thanks to all who have prayed and given to make this trip, and other ministry fruit possible!

Dol Dol’s 30th Anniversary!

09 Sep 2010
Pastor Boonstra

Pastor Boonstra confirmed as a "Maasai Elder"

Last Sunday was the milestone 30th Anniversary of our first Maasai Church, in Dol Dol. They have started 19 churches out of this original church. What a wonderful privilege to have my first Pastor, Carl Boonstra, as the honored guest! Accompanied by his two wonderful daughters! What a memorable day! Pastor Boonstra preached a challenging message which touched many hearts. About a dozen people came for salvation, and many more for rededication!

Pastor Boonstra was the honored guest when we dedicated the Dol Dol Baptist Church 30 years ago! None of could have foreseen the wonderful fruit which has come out of this ministry!

Pastor Kalasinga is now 62 years old, but his passion for evangelism and church planting is burning brighter than ever! This week he will lead a team 100 miles into the remote “Northern Frontier” to start planting a new church in a key town.

Three pastors who face daily struggles in their remote ministry areas recently conducted a fund-raiser among the Maasi congregation in Dol Dol. With some help from a Bible Study group in South Florida were able to obtain a sacrificial gift of eight sheep which they took to John Lekumpai, the pastor of a new church in the extremely remote and needy village of Wamba.

Over the weekend trip they had services at the little church in Wamba and also did public evangelism and house-to-house soul-winning. Eleven souls accepted Christ as Savior, and a struggling pastor and his “forgotten” flock near the end of the earth were encouraged!

After a long and crushing drought the El Niño rains have brought another set of difficulties and the trip to Wamba was held up for several hours waiting for the floods to subside. But overall the people are happy to see green again!
