Showers of blessings!

I loved waking up in the early mornings, snuggling down under the blankets and looking up at the morning light sneaking into my little room through the chinks in the window shutter. Blinking my eyes open, I'd stare up at the ceiling through the mosquito netting covering my bed and listen to the rain drumming down on the tin roof. Outside, despite the rain, I could hear sounds of breakfast preparation as well as women singing in the other huts. It was another day of services and seminars in Upper Guccha, Kenya!

The rains were unseasonal and did cause problems. Many people weren't able to attend, and those of us who did had sticky mud to deal with as soon as we stepped outside. The rain and the wind also proved difficult since the services took place under tents outside. However, despite the adverse weather, the time we had was truly filled with God's showers of blessings!

May God richly bless you as well this holiday season with his peace, grace, and love! Merry Christmas

Would you like to join a mission trip now or in the future? 

If so, please email foreignmission@comcast.net or visit www.themissionsite.com for more information. It is always better to have teams organized in advance so that everyone can complete the training program and we can meet together--even if just via phone calls or email--to pray and discuss the trip. In 2012, we have trips planned for India (January), Guatemala (April), the Philippines and Vietnam (May). Planning for trips to Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Pakistan, Russia, Ghana, Togo, South Africa, and Kenya are also underway. Please pray that the trips will go forward with God's direction and in His time!
