Keep on Truckin for the Lord!
MANY ARE STILL GETTING SAVED.
THIS YEAR HAS REALLY BEEN A STRUGGLE, BUT THE PEOPLE GETTING SAVED ARE REALLY WORTH IT. AS YOU KNOW, ROTARY BOUGHT US A NEW 9 TON TRUCK LAST YEAR. WELL THE GUYS NOW CALL IT A MOVING CHURCH. UP AND DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEREVER THEY STOP THEY JUST START WITNESSING TO PEOPLE AND MANY HAVE BEEN SAVED.
TWO WEEKS AGO THERE WAS A TEACHERS MEETING IN NAIROBI AND ONE OF OUR PASTORS WAS INVITED TO PREACH. AFTER THE MESSAGE 2 TEACHERS RECEIVED THE LORD AS THEIR PERSONAL SAVIOR.
OUR PASTORS FROM KISII WERE HERE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS, AND ONE PASTOR TOLD THIS STORY. HE HAD GONE TO A SHOP TO BUY SOMETHING AND MET A MAN 79 YEARS OLD SITTING IN FRONT OF THE SHOP. HE ASKED HIM WHERE HE WENT TO CHURCH AND HE THOUGHT A MINUTE AND SAID THAT HE HAD GONE TO CHURCH ONCE WHEN HE WAS 12 YEARS OLD. HE HAD NEVER BEEN BACK. OUR PASTOR TOLD HIM ABOUT JESUS AND HOW TO BE SAVED AND INVITED HIM TO CHURCH. THAT SUNDAY HE CAME TO CHURCH, GOT SAVED, AND SINCE MARCH HE HAS NEVER MISSED A SUNDAY.
HOYT CONTINUES TO MAKE SLOW PROGRESS. THIS WEEK HE WALKED FROM THE BEDROOM TO HIS ROCKING CHAIR IN OUR HOME OFFICE, HE HAS ALSO WALKED FROM THE BEDROOM TO THE LIVING ROOM ALL ON HIS OWN. WHEN HE FIRST CAME OUT OF SURGERY HIS LEFT LEG WAS MOSTLY PARALYZED SO THIS IS BIG PROGRESS.
WE THANKS GOD THAT THE MONEY TO BUY A PLOT FOR THE TALA CHURCH HAS BEEN PROMISED. WE ARE SO EXCITED. PLEASE PRAY WITH US FOR THE FOLLOWING URGENT NEEDS.
- MORE MONTHLY SUPPORT. WE ARE AT ABOUT 75% AND REALLY STRUGGLING. DEC. AND JAN ARE REALLY LOW MONTHS AND HARD TO PAY BILLS.
- FOUR PASTORS HAVE CHILDREN READY TO GO TO HIGH SCHOOL AND NEED SPONSORS AT $100. A MONTH. SOME OF OUR PASTORS ONLY GET A SALARY OF $40 A MONTH AND THESE LOVELY KIDS WILL NOT GO TO SCHOOL WITH OUT SPONSORS.
- HOYT DESPERATELY NEEDS A CAR. WE SOLD OUR OLD BEATER AND USED THE MONEY TO REPAIR THE VAN SO THAT WE CAN AT LEAST GET AROUND, WE HOPE. BUT, ONE VEHICLES FOR ALL OUR MINISTRIES IS REALLY A PROBLEM.
PRAISING GOD FOR ALL OF YOU,
HOYT , LOIS, AND KENYA TEAM
