Spring is here

Hey all, we are so encouraged to see the first fruits of spring, the trees are starting to sprout shoots, my grass is looking like it could do with a cut and we feel like we have shaken off our winter sleep.

This has been a hard season but rejoice with us as we feel a season of new growth is upon us. Just last sunday we had a discipleship meeting in our house for a few young people and God really moved and blessed eachone there. We worshipped, prayed aloud and encouraged eachother from the word.

Oh how I had missed those times and we were really encouraged by the Lord again. We have been through a long period of God telling us to wait on Him and His leading and it has been very hard, but we really felt Him directing us to run this group and it was really good, much better than anything we could have come up with, EVEN THE TEENS LIKED IT!!!

Linda and I are very excited about joining many other Christian young people to worship and enjoy God in Kilkenny in 10 days and we can't wait to see how he will bless and move at that time.

On a personal note, we are putting the final preperations together for our trip to Peru in march, and can't wait to see our good friends the Steiners in the US on the way. We also felt the Lord lead us back to Kenya after much prayer and waiting, so God willing Linda, myself, Andrew and Amy will go together there in June to visit Robbie and Elizabeth and our Massai friends, so should be a good time of networking and relationship building.

Anyway have to run, but hope this finds you all well, keep praying for us please, rejoicing in Jesus this spring love Alex and Linda
