We Made It!

We have made it to Karunga! It was a fantastic journey! I will show you a few pictures here and below that I will give you an update and prayer request! Below is a picture of the long journey to Karunga. You can see Rick Maples Land Rover Defender loaded with all of our gear. It was great to have his truck to haul all of our stuff! (You can click on the picture to get a bigger view).


Below is a Ann and Patty with the children at the home of Andrea, one of the bible story tellers in Karunga. Notice the umbrellas. Rick and Carrie asked for prayer for rain in this drought stricken part of Kenya. It poured today!

Rick is explaining the ministry/teaching strategy while watching Andrea tell of his faith and story telling ministry.

Paul, Muchai, Daniel, and Reuben. They are our marvelous drivers, guides, and chefs with ACTS (African Christian Tours and Safaris).

This is the team that is from Hume Lake staff this is with us.

Great story to share: When we were at RAV doing VBS for the kids,
several of us met a lady at a little store. She told us that recently she was very
depressed because she had no money. Then a missionary came into her store.
She said the missionary prayed for her. Just days after that, this
conference started and we all showed up of course ready to spend money. Her
eyes teared us and she said God took care of her by sending us to her. We
were all very touched. She is a sweet lady.

Prayer requests: tomorrow night (Friday) several of us are spending the
night with the families of the village that the Maples minister to. Pray for
sleep to occur. They basically sleep in a thatched roof hut and it is small
and there is even a fire going in the other room so it is a bit smoky. Pray
for health for all who do that.

Today we took a long walk to the village and you'll see the pictures of us
with umbrellas and all the people. It rained hard and we got wet and that
brings on the humidity but we all did well.
Tonight we are dividing up into 3 teams and are going to different places to
see how they tell the Bible story to the people. They do this of course in
their native tongue. Should be an exciting night.
