“‘For I know the plans I have for you,’
says the Lord. ‘They are plans for good
and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. In those days when you pray, I will
listen. If you look for me
wholeheartedly, you will find me.'”

-Jeremiah 29:11-13-
Whew! Our first week
in Eldoret has been packed full of a little culture shock, Evangelism, preaching
and loving on countless individuals in the surrounding community. Naturally, some of these things came much
easier than others. Fortunately, our
gracious Heavenly Father has absolute control over our time and ministry. He has used these experiences to teach me a
VERY VALUBLE lesson. This week I have
seen the Lords grace and faithfulness in time of need more than ever. I found myself on my knees before Him several
times this week, humbled and desperately needing His guidance.

times this week, humbled and desperately needing His guidance.
Every time I knelt before the Lord and poured out my heart
to Him, He was right there. He listened
to my as I vented frustration, voiced concerns and asked endless questions
about that which I did not understand.
Then, as I lay there, empty without another word to speak, He calmed and
comforted me. Sometimes He spoke to me
about the situation and others, He just let me rest in the comfort of His
presence. Each time I found that I could
walk away with a great sense of peace-that peace that surpasses all
understanding.

I cannot begin to describe what an answer to prayer this has
been. I not only asked the Lord to
challenge me, but I asked Him to put me in a place where I would better see and
understand His love for me. I can
confidently say that I do not think there has been a time in my life when I
have ever felt closer to my Lord and Savior; His faithfulness overwhelms
me! It humbles me to think that the
Creator of the Universe cares so much about me that He would actually take the
time to sit with me and listen as I tell Him about all the little things going
on my life. I am consumed by the desire
to pour out my heart in praise to Him in response!
