Things are continuing to go well here. Chris and Lindy left to go back to the States last week to see family, friends, and raise additional support. I have been able to help Chris out by assuming some of his many responsibilities while he is away and seeing that the work continues to go on here with Only Servants. They will be getting back on May 31st.
We are continuing to do evangelism in the three different areas of Nairobi on a weekly basis, while also feeding the street boys in Kawangware. I'm going to be preaching two times this month. Once in Kibera at the celebration service on May 17th and then in Kasarani on May 30th.
My amazing bride-to-be, Shauna, left on Friday to get the many details and preparations taken care of for our wedding on June 20th. I will be leaving on June 3rd. It was very important to us, and our families as well, to get married back in the States. Our visit will be short-lived and we will be back in Kenya at the end of July continuing our work here.
We are now joined with a large missions organization called NICS, whose headquarters is in Mississippi. Shortly after our wedding, we will be going to two weeks of orientation at their headquarters. Shauna has accepted a teaching position at their school here, West Nairobi School, for the upcoming year. Even though we are affiliated with this organization, we must continue to raise our own support. I will still be doing work for our ministry, After His Heart, including continuing evangelism in Kasarani. I will also be helping out at the school in various roles. These are seriously exciting times. Please continue to pray that God will be glorified through us and that all provisions will be met!
