Bwana Asifiwe - Praise the Lord!
A mission team including Pastor Joel Baker and Pastor Frank Famiyeh (from Ghana), John, as well as a team of several youth, worked in many different ways to share the Gospel and the Love of Christ in Kenya. Many of the people sent their greeting "Tell all the Christians back home that we are praying for them, and we request they please remember us in prayer" This photo was taken at a convention in Kakamega. There were people from many countries and tribes.

A dear sister gave a donation for a motorbike recently. Although there are several areas that could benefit we asked that a letter would be written to explain why the need is so great in this particular area. This was the response:
Dear John, God's peace! . My churches in my elgon areas need a motorbike for my region pastor Hannington kwemoi.He visits the five churches which are 15 or more kilometres apart. Many times he is forced to go every Friday and come back home on the next Monday . He foots and denies him to be at home on time.
The motorbike will make him visit the churches easily and be back home for the family. It will be a blessing to our ministry in that the administration exercise will be made easy and communication
This will increase the number of visit a year and give room to many revival meeting in reaching the lost for Christ.
It is my prayer that you will prayerfully consider our request. We also pray that God will lay the heart to assist our ministry. God's blessings. Pastor Timothy
News From the Field December Update
India
Dear Beloved Brother In Christ, Gods Peace.
Warm Greetings.Yes Sir, I have started the Bible Classes for the tribals. By the Grace of God I was able to deal three issues of the Gospel. First one is KNOWING CHRIST. Second one is KNOWING THE WORD. Third one is KNOWING THE MINISTRY. By the Grace of The Lord, It went well.
Kindly remember this ministry as a priority in your prayers. As per your suggestion two such classes will be held at Injaram too, in the coming months. Slowly we need to conduct on monthly basis.
Great to be part of this neglected ministry. I pray that the LORD will bring revival. Once the people come back to the True WORD Of God, the rest will be accomplished by the WORD.
Thank you dear Sir, IN HIS SERVICE Dr.Solomon ------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear pastor, God's peace, Greetings to you and the team. Indeed I wish to congratulate you for the team you had this year, they were a blessing to our life here and that we received much from them more so spiritual food. Give much thanks to the Foreign Mission Board who have shown great love and the Apostolic Lutheran Members worldwide for their prayers for our country.

---------------------------------------------- Matthew 10:7 - And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
The Foreign Mission is very pleased to be able to send Pastor Bob Maki, along with Carl Aho and Pastor Frank Famiyeh to the annual ALC convention held in Nigeria this month.
There are 23 Apostolic Lutheran Churches there, most of which were planted back in the very first days of mission work within our church. (1960’s) Many years had passed since regular trips have been made to Nigeria.
We pray that this trip will remind many folks of those days that Pastor Andrew Michelson and Pastor Elmer Yliniemi along with their family members were there preaching Justification by Faith solely in Christ Jesus our Lord! O that many people all around the world would yet desire to hear of Jesus Christ and Him Crucified!
We also want to remember Philip and Niaomi Johnson who were very instrumental in the work in Nigeria. Sadly Philip passed away in a car accident as he selflessly served the Lord in that country.
The Foreign Mission wants to thank you for your Prayers and Support this year. Have a Very Blessed Christmas
> Trips are being planned for Haiti, South Africa and other places in the coming year. Please pray for these trips as we prepare to go forth and share the Gospel message in these countries.
> The trip to Nigeria that is currently ongoing! Please pray the The Word of the Lord would go forth and reach the hearts of the people.
Prayer & Praise
> Pastor K's wife Ruth is now doing fine! Thank you for praying!
> Please pray for the many orphaned children around the world. Food and clothing are something that we to often take for granted, but it is a real issue in many places.
