Team Africa Thursday Update

Dear All -

Thank you for your prayers for our 6 hour journey on the very bumpy and rough roads to Eldoret from Nairobi. I will have to say that there were some parts of "new road" that were much like our highways.

We have settled in quite well.

Our children's ministry and work projects are seeing progress -- the scraping was finished yesterday and today we are painting. Also the children are getting use to us and have welcomed us with literally open arms as they gave us hugs.

The women's conference is seeing women growing in their understanding of how God views them and how he has intended to have them believe who they are. As some of the Kenyan women have said - there have been some breakthroughs.

For all of these things are are grateful to the Lord for His Spirit who is at work. We are honored and privileged to be His vessels.

Praise:

1. Still generally in good health - Connie and Terri are dealing with periodic headaches
2. Food is good :}
3. Getting sufficient sleep.
4. Realizing that there is a spiritual battle between flesh and Spirit

Pray

1. Continued health
2. Finish strong at Ilula before Jan and Pat go to Uganda and the rest of team (Terri, Eric, Connie, Olivia, Anne and Vicky) to to another village called Kipkaren
3. We would be able to finish the projects we have begun - painting, and hanging of curtains in the children's rooms.

We are so very grateful and thank God for you as you pray by faith and encourage us! Blessings to all.

Pat & the Africa Team
