“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.” Prov.3:5-6

Mubeen Asks for Prayer

Mubeen, whom I have written about previousl,y has a shop at the end of our street. He has suffered with discouragement and hopelessness. His shop has not been doing wel,l so he has decided to close and return with his family to Canada where they lived 10 years ago. Canada gave permission for his family to return except for his son who was born in Kenya. He will return to Canada, leaving his family behind and continue to work on permission for his son to come. He has asked for prayer for God to intercede for his family.

More Shops are Closing

There are several small shops across the street where we live. The city has told them to move or they will be bulldozed in 7 days. It is common for people to set up a small shop on vacant property. The shops have been there a long time, but the city has decided they should be removed. Some of the shop owners are distraught not knowing where to go or what will happen to them since this is their only means of making a living. Some have appealed to the city and we are praying for God to intercede on behalf of the shop owners for wisdom and direction.

Prayer for Our Daughter Melissa

Melissa is with us and will be returning to the states on Thursday along with our son, Sean. A few days ago Melissa came down with a fever and now has cold symptoms. She has been tested for malaria, but was negative. We are going to the lab for more testing today. Pray for a complete healing and ability to travel home on Thursday.

Prayer Requests: Pray for Eric and Sheila Ceaser who will be coming to Kenya this week in preparations to begin a new ministry in Africa. Continued prayer for registration for Calvary Thika  as Isaac who is working on our work permits will also be working on the registration. Also we are waiting for the sound system we are purchasing in Nairobi to clear customs.

Blessings to all to receive all that the Holy Spirit has for you this week. Love, Tom & Cheryl
