Quick turn-around; on my way to Kenya!

I will exalt You, my God the King; I will praise Your Name forever and ever. Ps 145:1.

Dear family and friends:

Greetings to you in the eternal name of Jesus!  The Youth Education Strategies team has just finished another great mission project proclaiming the Good News in the Philippines.  Thank you so much for the prayer and support as we have shared with these people.  I was blessed to share the Gospel in 18 schools, 3 churches, and in 2 community outreaches with a total of more than 9,000 people and I’m excited to report that more than 5,000 of these people made the commitment to turn from sin and trust in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.  In total, our team was able to speak in 34 meetings with more than 15,000 people and saw more than 9,000 professions of faith!

Also, I am excited to announce that God has reopened the doors for YES to complete the project in Kenya that was originally scheduled for August.  The teacher strike has ended, the schools have commenced their normal schedule, and our team in Kenya has been able to reschedule our program for these schools.  I will be on a three week mission to share the Good News from Saturday October 27 through November 19.  During the first week, YES will be working in schools and churches in some of the poorest slums in the world in the capital city of Nairobi.  Then, we will be sharing the Gospel in Kisumu, the second largest city in Kenya during the second week.  And we will finish our mission by assisting Gideons International members with school Bible distributions and reaching out to some of the more rural areas in Kenya through the final week of this project.

We are anticipating another mighty move of God in Kenya.  Please join YES in prayer for the Holy Spirit to convict the multitudes of sin, and to draw many toward a life-changing personal relationship with Jesus Christ.  Also, please pray for God to give me the strength and perseverance to complete this project; this is by far the quickest turn around I have experienced from one mission to the next.  Thank you once again for your prayer and support.  God bless!

In Christ,
