April 26 - Lesson Recap

Thanks to Paul and Pam Highfield for visiting and telling us about their work with the Mausi people of Kenya. When they began their work this group of Mausi had never heard of Jesus. Paul and Pam learned the language, formed relationships with the people, and introduced them to Christ. They planted churches and began training leaders. Paul now writes Bible studies and commentaries in the Mausi language to help these churches study and grow strong spiritually. They travel back to Kenya twice a year to minister to the churches and people personally. During these visits they lead studies, help with evangelism and work to meet physical needs as well. We're excited to be going to meet the Mausi people and to worship with them. We know they have much to teach us. We hope we can help minister to them as well. Please keep us in your prayers!

I am so excited for Jeff and Cheryl going to Africa! It was exciting to hear what has been done there already! I want to go!

What a blessing to get to hear how God's word is being spread around the world. I want to go back to Africa! Maybe Jeff and Cheryl could pack our class away in their bags.

Tonight we met with Paul and Pam and talked three hours about the trip. Wow. Paul is giving me the opportunity to preach two times and Cheryl is going to be leading in teaching children and in women's ministy. I am also going to be teaching on leadership. I wish you all could come along.
