God's Promise in the Neighborhood

“And the Streets of the City will be filled with boys and girls at play.”
Zechariah 8:5

Bethany caught this rainbow on film in front of our home with Josiah and Timothy in the background. Recently at a meeting with pastors in the Kibera slums, I shared this promise (Zec. 8:5) and we all agreed that this was God’s promise for them in the streets of Kibera.

Domestic Education

“Work hard so you can present yourself to God and receive His approval.”
2 Timothy 2:15

Debra is thankful for the Sonlight curriculum and the children are thankful for a patient, compassionate teacher. What stories will they tell their children about a “one room school in Africa?” Time will tell.

Every Sunday is a ‘Tent Meeting’ at Nairobi Chapel

“And the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle” Exodus 40:34
Timothy’s on his way to children’s church at Nairobi Chapel. Nairobi Chapel has three praise bands that lead worship simultaneously in an adult, youth, and children’s service.

A fellow sojourner

“Encourage one another and build each other up”

1 Thes. 5:11

We met Leslie at Missionary Training Institute in Colorado Springs. We were the only folks there from Alabama. Debra met her again in the airport Lavatory at Heathrow in London. We flew together to Nairobi and chanced to meet up on several occasions before Leslie went on to her field assignment. God has amazing ways to remind us we are not alone when we answer His call.

Backyard Restoration

Who knew that our ministry of restoration would begin in the backyard? Well it is. Here Bethany caught Daddy in his morning devotions. It all begins with prayer doesn't it?

And this green space is a part of it all. To survive in a big dirty city like Nairobi, a little green space in your living space is essential. here you see the garden after the pruning and before the planting. Next blog will give you an update on this space -- (hint: there's a few critters to be added as well!)
