Prayer Partners,
Much is going on in our
world...I will report more on the two teams that just
returned from Kenya in a few days. All I know right now
is that they saw 235 Maasai pray to receive Christ and
started at least two new churches.
So far this year, we have seen
403 Maasai pray to receive Christ and started at least
seven new churches. I understand that the Suswa pastors
have started two new churches in their area since they
started using the Story Cloth and our Pastor's Conference
in March. That would make a total of 8
churches started this year, PTL! It is amazing what
God will do when people like you stand with us in prayer
and support. We have several more teams going this year
and it promises to be our greatest year yet in souls
being saved and new church starts in new
areas.
A dear friend and pastor of
the First Baptist of Muscatine, Iowa (one of our
Partnership Churches) is visiting in Pigeon Forge this
week and shared with me that their church, that we
refered to Dwight Huffman, Director of Church Planting
for Canada, planted a church four years ago and since
then this new church plant has planted five other
churches. God has used CRM to plant churches in Canada,
Nicaraga, Kenya and Tanzania. To God be all the
glory...it is fun being on mission with the
Lord.
On another note, my Mother
seems to be getting a little stronger each day and will
be 99 yrs old this Friday, July 6th!
I sure hope those LONG LIVING
genes kick in soon!
Thanks for all your prayers and
support, you will never know this side of heaven how much
we love you folk!

the Lamb,
