Dear Family & Friends,
I’d like to start off by apologizing for never putting up a
newsletter for December. With the
technology ban last month, I seemed to have dropped the ball and
forgotten. Nevertheless, things have
been going wonderfully. The month of
December had many exciting times of its own as we found ourselves in Israel. I had the chance to visit Bethlehem,
Nazareth, Galilee, as well as many other
biblical sites, not to mention living in Jerusalem
for two weeks!! The month was great for
our team, as w grew closer to one another and spent even more time with each
other.
December also contained the one and only Christmas. Though many had to deal with that
bitter/sweet feeing of being away from home for the holidays this year, I think
we can all come to the consensus that this Christmas was one we’ll never
forget. We celebrated a a squad, as well
as individually as teams wit food, presents, and, of course, lots of love,
laughter, and praise to our King.
After leaving Israel,
our team had the privilege of making a day trip through Egypt where we
got to see the pyramids!!! as well as the Cairo
museum and a few other sites. From there
we caught our flight to Nairobi,
Kenya where we
stayed for a few day before moving to our destinations for the month And that’s where I am right now. I currently write this from the home o f a
lovely family in Eldoret, Kenya where Team Fanatic and Team
Sofia will be staying this month. While
we have not started ministry yet, it appears we will be working to plant a
church here. We are all very excited to
be back in a country where Christianity is accepted and we don’t have to hide
ho we are The people are so friendly and
welcoming and w can already tell it’s going to be a great month.
n prayer:
- For Patrick and his family-May God just pour out His
blessings upon them and overwhelm them with His grace, love, joy, etc. for all
that they’ve done for us - For Team Mosaic, the only K Squad team currently in Uganda-May they
continue to be united, stay safe, ad feel connected through our prayers - For the people off Eldoret-May God open their hearts
and prepare them for the work we will be doing - For our team-May w continue to grow closer together a
we serve the od in this new culture - For finances for the entire squad!! The deadline to be
fully funded I the beginning of February and there are still may people looking
for funds.-May they surrender their finances entirely to God and trust Him t o
provide and may He ease all their anxieties a deadlines draw ear.
God bless!!!
