"...You guys probably get this a lot, but your heart for God is so obvious, and it's so great to see a couple that has so much going for them, getting so serious about the Lord!! Abi and I have been talking about you guys almost nonstop since yesterday, haha, and Dad had a testimony time last night for the church to talk about how you guys had impacted them. Many people said that your obvious compassion and burden for the people of Kenya was inspiring, and that they were very touched by your presentation. Thank you again for coming, and for confirming many things for me that God had been working on lately. I praise Him that I have a clearer direction now than I think i ever have before, and I wanted to encourage you in that, as I know deputation is hard and fast and many times one feels like they aren't making a dent or a difference. You are!!! :D Thanks again, and we will continue to pray for you as God brings in the rest of your support."
First of all, to the person who wrote this: (you know who you are) thank you for taking the time to let God use you to encourage us!
We have said this from the beginning; we don't see our ministry as starting in Kenya. It is here and now while God has us traveling all over the states, often tired and homesick, but sharing our burden for Kenya and for God's plan for missions. This sweet letter was used as a reminder and encouragement to keep pressing on. We are anxious to get to Kenya, but want to have hearts that are focusing on honoring God where He has us right now....even if it entails spending hundreds of hours more in the car with 3 children than I ever wanted. :)
