My busy week in Kenya. Great time working at a number of school events.
Discipling in the prison and detention facility and spending hours distributing over 3000 gospel booklets.
Joel and Caleb had a great time interacting with a lot of young people.
And as a part of our campus expansion in Mosoriot, we plant a lot of trees and shrubs!

It’s been a busy week and a half in Kenya. My days were full presiding over a wedding, preaching two services, teaching our Bible students the book of first Corinthians over two days, visiting the school and orphan center, and finishing up this visit purchasing trees and shrubs and planting them on our new 4 acre garden/event venue in Mosoriot, Kenya.
 My 24 hours of travel starts tomorrow…

I’m happy to share with my Facebook friends my son’s project to raise money for Noel Academy in Kenya. He’s made a GoFundMe page for this project. The funds are tax deductible and will go to help offset the tuition for the students. The majority of these students come from the local villages and several from the orphan center.
Check out the GoFundMe page below. We appreciate anything you can do.
Have a great weekend!

Happy Resurrection Day!

We should remember:
The empty tomb is evidence of God the Father's pleasure that his Son, Jesus, fulfilled his purpose to the glory of the Father! "... God, who raised him from the dead. ... you, who were dead in your trespasses... made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, by canceling the record of our debit that stood against us... nailing it to the cross" Colossians 2:12-14.
God the Son, Jesus, took on himself the sin of the world, raised from the dead, leaving an empty tomb and now offers forgiveness of sin to all those who will believe in Him.

Thank you Lord, for the finished work on the cross at Calvary. The the opportunity for all who will believe.
Paul, writes in the Book of Romans, "For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believers..." Romans 1:16.

Consider God's gift.
Happy Easter!

The land of Israel has been populated by the Jewish people since 2000 BC. Here's the timeline, in case you didn't realize that it is their homeland, as designated by Yahweh.
1900 BC: Abraham chosen by God as the Father of the Jewish Nation.
1900 BC: Isaac, Abraham's son, rules over Israel.
1850 BC: Jacob, son of Issac, rules over Israel.
1400 BC: Moses leads the people out of Egypt and back to Israel.
1010 BC: King David unites the 12 tribes into one nation.
970 BC: King Solomon, son of David, builds the first temple structure in Jerusalem
930 BC: Israel is divided into two kingdoms, the Kingdom of Israel and the Kingdom of Judah.
800s BC: The rise of the prophets, God's messengers.
722 BC: Kingdom of Israel is conquered by Assyrians.
605 BC: Kingdom Judah is conquered by the Babylonians.
586 BC: Solomon's Temple is destroyed by the Babylonians.
539 BC: Persians conquer the Babylonians and take control of Israel.
538 BC: The Jews return to Israel from exile.
520 BC: The Temple is rebuilt.
450 BC: Reforms made by Ezra and Nehemiah.
433 BC: Malachi is the end of the prophetic age.
432 BC: The last group of Jews return from exile.
333 BC: The Greeks conquer the Persian empire.
323 BC: The Egyptian and Syrian empire take over Israel.
167 BC: Hasmonean's recapture Israel, and the Jews are ruled independently.
70 BC: Romans conquer Israel.
20 BC: King Herod builds the "third" temple
6 BC: Jesus Christ is born in Bethlehem
70 AD: Romans destroy the temple
After that, the people were captives to the Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, and Crusaders. Through all of these events, the Jewish people continued to live in Israel. There were more or less of them, depending on the centuries, but there was never a time when the Jews didn't live in the land. They stayed, they built their communities, they raised their families, practiced their faith and they suffered at the hands of many outside rulers, but they always kept their faith. It is what sustains them, even now.
In 1948, the UN established the State of Israel, the nation of Jews. Don't buy the Palestinian lies that they are entitled to the land. It simply is not true. Yahweh will also provide a way for his chosen people to live in Israel, as He has for thousands of years. Pray for the people of Israel.

Last night on NBC. They were showing a video of the music event before the terrestrial attack in Israel. I about fell out of my seat when I saw the image that was near the front of the stage.

Time to say goodbye to my companions in the gospel ministry here in Kenya. Look forward to seeing them again in January.

Today, 43 students finish their study of the book of Romans. A total of 35 classroom hours. They are certainly ready for their ministry work.
God willing, we will be hosting a visiting pastor from Georgia to teach the book of Revolution in January ‘24. Please keep them in your prayers.

A busy Saturday here in Kenya. Visiting families and sharing the gospel of our mighty God and savior Jesus Christ.

An interesting experience this morning, while sharing with this farming family. I had an opportunity to share the gospel with man at the bottom of a new well he was digging 😁. Im excited to share that the power of the gospel lead even a man at the bottom of a well to saving faith. What a blessing to hear them call on Jesus name for salvation, even from the depths of the earth.

Additionally, very blessed to have the privilege to share with a group of students who were very much interested and receptive in the things of God. God’s plan of salvation for the lost.
