Where we're at.......

Well we have 39 days left before we head to Kenya with the team so I thought an update would be good. Just to let you know that we've had two prayer evenings with the team and have been really encouraged by God. We met last tuesday evening and really felt God was leading us to look at the verse "Be still and know that I am God". When we're living in such a hecitc, busy world it's hard sometimes to be still. It's so easy to keep going so for our meeting we all went away on our own to different parts of our house and garden and spent time with God. It was so worthwhile, as when we came back we shared, felt encouraged, felt God was speaking and was recharging us and then we had a lovely time of prayer.

It's so encouraging to hear how many in the team are already growing before they even get out to Kenya. I love God that way he goes beyond what we can imagine and always in ways we don't necessarily see coming ; ) We've really been encouraged ourselves by getting donations from four people (you know who you are) and have so far raised 1250!!!!! so praise God for that. We've been so encouraged by it all but are also aware that we have 1326euro to go. So please do continue to pray for us and those on the team that still have money to raise. I do believe that God provides and look forward to learning and growing more in him.

We also found out that we will def be building houses for the widows and got the price of 460euro per house. This cost will include the transporting of materials etc. So if you would like to donate or pay for a house for a widow please know that that option is there also. It doesn't just have to be about our team going out but can also be towards these widows that have no homes. I know we ourselves feel we have been so blessed with a fab roof over our heads and are so aware that they're are many with no homes so again if you would like to put money towards that instead of us please let us know. Praise God for his provision for all of us and his love which never fails. He is really reminding me of that this week and the importance of remaining in him (John 14&15). Please do keep praying for the team.

Thanks for your support.
