Something New

We’re back! Our time in Kenya has been great and we would still be there, but God has opened the door for our early return. A couple months ago, we found out that Tascha was pregnant! This is our first child and we are very excited! She is roughly 10 weeks and mamma and baby Fyke are doing well. After our initial shock and excitement, I (like most new dads) shifted into provider mode and started looking for a job back in the States. I am currently talking with a few churches and am at the point where we need to meet in person. Tascha and I are very excited about our new addition to our family and for what God has in store for us in this new chapter of our lives. 

I want to personally thank all of you who have partnered with us financially, in prayer and by sending donations. Tascha and I know that we will continue to be involved in missions, but we won’t be returning to Kenya just yet. With that said, we would still love for all of you to continue to support what God is doing in Kenya! Dan and Dana Jacobs (www.wgm.org/jacobs) and April Hershberger (www.wgm.org/hershberger) are two missionaries that we worked with at the AGC Baby Centre. Check out their webpages and please pray about ways you can support them. In our next newsletter, which comes out next month, we will give a more in-depth recap of our time here in Kenya as well as more information about the Jacobs and April.

God is so good! He has blessed our time here in Kenya and we eagerly await what He has in store in this next leg of our journey. Please let us know if you would like to meet for coffee of something and hear about the ministries we have been a part of and what God is doing in Kenya!

Hands of Love

“In His hands that bring us life, in His hands we come alive. In His hands, He's holding us!”

In Crowder’s “Hands of Love” we are reassured that the hands that hung the stars, the hands that bore the scars are the same hands that bring us life and these hands are holding us! The past few months Tascha and I have been immersed in orphan ministry. We have been serving at the Africa Gospel Church Baby Centre where the kids are our number one priority. The Baby Centre is not an orphanage or a children's home, but rather a rescue centre for orphaned and abandoned babies. The goal is to be the hands of Christ to these babies until they are adopted into forever families. Tascha has been spending a ton of time in the three wings working with the kids and loving them unconditionally. My ministry here at the Baby Centre has been working on the new AGC Baby Centre website and doing media. I also spend some time with the kids. For more information about the Baby Centre and to meet the kiddos here, visit our new website at www.agcbabycenter.org 

This past week, Tascha and I had the privilege of serving with the Least of These ministry (www.wgm.org/leastofthese). I had been asked to do a video for the ministry showing what they do and how you can get involved with it. This is an amazing ministry and Tascha and I are so blessed to have been able to be a part of it. I wont say too much about the ministry and let Robyn, Mwali and Anthony tell you about the Least of These in the video below.

No eye has seen, no ear has heard the depths of the love God has for us all. Our God is great and mighty and doesn't start caring for us when we are grown. In Matthew 19:14 it says Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”

These beautiful children, made in the image of God, are precious. God loves them, and has entrusted those at the AGC Baby Centre, the Least of These and many other organizations with their care. It is not a light responsibility and takes all that we have, but these little ones are worth our lives and more. They are the face of Christ and all we do for these, the least of these, we have done for Christ (Matt. 25:40). 

So I encourage you, pray for these ministries and get involved! You don’t have to physically be here in Kenya to touch the lives of these kids
