KENYAN MISSION TRIP SEPTEMBER 2015-09-29
MALLY AND MYSELF HAVE ONCE AGAIN had the
joy joining a team from Bayleaf Baptist Church on a mission trip to Kenya. Our
assignment was to train Pastors and Pastors wives in Biblical Theology. This is
always a special privilege which we grasp enthusiastically. Over the years we
have developed very meaningful relationships with Pastoral couples in Kenya.
The reunion with many of them was delightful. We were most encouraged to see
how these couples are growing in the Lord and showing great perseverance in the
ministry, which at times is exceedingly difficult for most of them. In these difficult times the bio-vocational
option has been embraced, for most, as the only way forward.
Alongside of teaching and training, there
are always opportunities to Minister generally in churches and at other special
gatherings. We praise God that He came up for us. Using His Word to bring Souls
to Salvation and some Christian young people to hear and respond to His call
upon their lives to follow Him all the days of their lives; maybe into
Full-time Christian Service. Please pray for these young people.
Significant time was spent in consultation
with the South Rift Baptist Regional Leaders, over the possibility of
establishing a regional Bible School for the majority of Maasai pastors who
have little or no Theological Education. Please pray with us.
If you would like to be a part of this
initiative, at ANY level, please feel free to contact us. It’s a huge undertaking
which will need the resources and enthusiastic involvement of a large committed
team to make it happen.
