African Adventure

God has been so good to us! He has already allowed us to have many wonderful adventures in our lives with Him, and He and the church keep opening the doors to more. We have been so busy that we have failed to keep you up-to-date even on our whereabouts.
We are on the equator again, this time in Nairobi, Kenya in East Africa. At 5450 feet elevation, the weeks that we have been here have been gorgeous. The flowers and trees are spectacular against the mostly blue skies. But, as much as we enjoy it, we are not here for the weather. We were asked to come to fill in for the field treasurer while she is on home assignment working in the States. She has an amazingly large job here. Have you noticed that the jobs of capable people grow and grow? In her absence some of her tasks have been taken on by others, but we are trying to keep up with just the bookkeeping.
We are living in this city of over 3,000,000 in a complex that includes the beautiful townhouse that we are living in and other housing, a workshop, audio/video studios and the offices that support the strategic coordination of the Nazarene districts and churches in Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania. That includes Nazarene Compassionate Ministries, Child Sponsorships, Jesus Film, NYI, Children's Ministries, and Work & Witness.

We will be here several more weeks so continue to pray for us and the people we are serving. Pray that we will succeed in letting them pursue their ministries without disruptions while their treasurer is away.
