Me and My House

 

Dear beloved: Pics, Aaron and Kaley with Children at Funday; Lining up the children for lunch

Joshua 24:14 "Now therefore, fear the Lord, serve Him in sincerity and truth, and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the River and in Egypt. Serve the Lord!  v15  And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."

Beloved, we take great delight in hosting visitors here at the Living Water Children's Home and Church in Kenya. Friends Aaron and Kaley are here this week, they came all the way from Kansas to help us minister to the children and people of the village. Today they were able to share Bible stories with 125 village children, many of whom are from families of other religions, and many of whom do not get a good meal every day. We give them both spiritual food and a great meal, then teach them the Word of God. We finish the day with some rousing football games, then send them on their way full of joy. Can two young people impact the lives of ordinary people in the far away places in Africa?  Yes, and only God knows the impact of their visit as many of these children will make decisions to follow Jesus in the days ahead. Also,as newlyweds, they are making a declaration, "As for me and our house, we will serve the Lord!"  Can you speak that with conviction over your household today?  If a ministry  trip to Kenya would be of interest to you in the coming year, contact me through email and we will see what we can get set up for you. All travel restrictions have now eased, so it is time to shake the nations with the gospel of Jesus.  May God bless you as you pray!
