So Far, So Good

Roger: Our first week we are working with some key leaders on marriage which Brooks will fill you in on.  Next week we will begin some of our strategic meetings with leaders in which we will be sharing the prayers and words of encouragement that many of you have shared--over 14 pages worth!  We are very excited about the impact this will have. Brooks:  So far, so good!!!  It’s been rainy and cool ever since we arrived and the showers are definitely proof that God is pouring down his blessings on us already.  We had a couple of days to rest and get acclimated to Kenya time, which has really been good.  My body got the rest it needed to completely heal from the kidney infection, which has been a true blessing. Elizabeth and Dawson joined us on Monday in Nairobi so we got right to work on what we are going to present next weekend at the couple's retreat in Kitale.  I really feel like the Holy Spirit has been leading us as we’ve developed the material.  It includes a lot of practical exercises to introduce during our time together that hopefully, couples will continue to use to build up their marriages.  We are praying that marriages that need healing will be healed and that each couple will come away with new tools to create even tighter bonds; also that the couples will be open to some new ways to communicate, committing to pray together, and that they will have a fresh and deep desire for each other.  Please join us in praying that these awesome men and women would have a desire to please and honor God in their marriages and that modeling a godly marriage would be replicated throughout East Africa. Roger: Wednesday was a full day of travel from Nairobi to Kitale often winding our way around the ever present potholes.  Pictures tell it all...
