One of the many ministry events
Hi everybody!
We had a wonderful and busy June and July in the States, being with friends and family and fundraising in various places. We got to travel up to Global Youth Ministry’s headquarters and joined them for a staff reunion and a few days at one of their youth camps. It was very rejuvenating and encouraging to spend time with the staff there.
Back in May, we had three interns join us for a few weeks and had an awesome time with them. They helped teach conferences and spoke in churches and schools, and God really worked through their testimonies. They are all praying about future work in missions or in ministry, so please pray for them as they continue seeking God’s will for their lives.
While we were gone, our ministry team (the men Matt has mentored) here in Kenya was very busy. They carried out 20 ministry events in three different countries- teaching in 3 seminaries in Burundi, Uganda and Kenya, as well as leading 17 conferences. It is really exciting to see our guys being faithful in teaching and carrying on the vision of the ministry without us being there!
We are very happy to be back in Kenya. Kelly is gearing up for a new school year and Matt is settling back into ministry. This year, Matt will be specifically focusing on getting the curriculum part of the ministry more developed. Our hope is that the ministry can become more self-sustaining through the distribution and sales of this curriculum. Several churches and youth have bought our 31 day devotional material and have given very positive feedback on it, particularly about it being written in their cultural context.
We are so grateful for your continued prayer and financial support. We so enjoyed meeting up with a few of you this summer, and pray God’s blessings on you and your families. Thank you for your contribution to God’s kingdom!
Love,
Matt and Kelly
