God’s Stretching Me!

Dearest Friends and Family,

 

I feel for the very first time since getting here the pull of the enemy against our very souls. We are in a battle for life and death. Amongst my own life’s comings and goings I feel torn and yet worn a bit in the  past day. Keep in your prayers, for all is well within my soul and it is the eternal  life we strive to aim and keep for Christs kingdom. What we see here is temporal. It is the lives of those lost, forgotten and somehow misplaced that I desire to reach.  Today I found myself greatly privileged to serve at the Nest Orphanage.  The children sang songs and danced East African dances. They live in joy despite their surroundings and as the children run alongside the car in Lemuru, yelling “how are you” blesses your soul for the joy of the Lord is found in their faces.

Today we will be going to a church in another slum to build a classroom in the slum of about 500,000 people meeting with Mike Adipo whom is the pastor of  The Smart Cathedral.  Tomorrow I will be scrubbing up to start our dental clinics.! Praise the Lord. For he is doing such amazing work in me and here in Africa.

The Hyodo family has been such a huge blessing to me and I’m proud to report that they are reaching souls for Jesus.  Staying here in their home has been very kind to me. It feels like America. I have quite nice quarters and a very nice warm hot shower. This is foreign I know for some missionaries, So, I give great thanks to the Lord about for their hospitality. It was laid on my heart that I too would like to host missionaries as they pass thru. We (missionaries) are stretched as I know I have been already beginning at home and now even here. Truth of Gods gracious favors and thanks to those of you faithfully praying for I have adjusted well to the time difference and have not been ill .

Sunday here at the Karura Community Chapel, was filled with blessed anointing and I really got into the Kiswahili  worship as well as American favorites. The pastor was preaching over Isaiah 54 and in Ephesians 5.  Let me tell you know, I was like a kid in a candy shop. These people, sure know how to praise our Lord and Saviour. Tent revival, soul saving, bible believing Christians! The south has nothing on them. I too have that on video as well as some amazing musicians.

 The work of our hands may it be pleasing unto our master as we serve. That is my prayer.

I know I would love to upload photos on each blog, but the internet is difficult and slow to come by. So, I will post photos upon my next trip to the Village Market here in Runda Estates where Im living. I pray that each photo brings you joy that God is in all things in all Lands and in all people.

May the Grace of the Lord be with you.

    I hope you are able to make an impact in that wonderful place. I know that you are stretched, but I know my Cheyla is an overcomer. You are a woman of God. You know who you are in Christ. I wish I could be there with you. You mean so much to me. Next time I am comming with you, and you’ll have an endless supply of hugs. I hope you know how I feel about you. I love you Cheyla.
