It is a personal pleasure to report to our family and friends regarding the tremendous favor that God granted during our 2013 Mission Trip to Kenya & South Africa. During the past twelve months, God has connected us with numerous superlative ministry partnerships and opportunities. During our recent trip (September 18 – October 18), God endowed us with significant grace, traveling mercies, divine protection and (most importantly) a level of demonstrable effectiveness in the service of His Kingdom and people. To wit, hundreds of souls are saved, delivered, healed, supported, encouraged and tangibly blessed!
Therefore,
first of all, Belinda and I wish to extend heartfelt gratitude to ALMIGHTY GOD
for His goodness, grace and mercy that is so freely shared with us. It is especially important to note how God
protected us during our visitation to Nairobi, Kenya. Belinda and I had planned a trip to the
Westgate Mall on the Saturday that so many were killed and maimed by
terrorists. Extensive ministry
activities prevented this visit, and we are eternally grateful to our all-wise
and all-knowing God.
Secondly,
we wish to convey sincere appreciation for two pastoral families who either welcomed
us into their home in South Africa or took care of our home while we were
traveling:
Pastor
David & Lady Abigail Boikhutso (Randburg, South Africa)
Pastor
Thomas & Lady Shirley Bordeaux (New Haven, CT, USA)
