I praise God that He has provided me with the opportunity to do a language refresher course in Swahili. In these days, money is always as issue. Another of our missionaries had extra funds in his language budget and graciously offered them to us. Because of their generosity, I was able to start this course two weeks ago.
The course is at a Catholic language school which has been around quite a long time and has a good reputation. I am enjoying it very much. Most of the students are Catholic religious brothers and nuns. I have been learning quite a bit about the difference between a friar, priest, religious brother, and monk! It is in a town an hour away, so I stay at the school during the week and am home on the weekends.
It is difficult to be apart so much, but I am thankful that David is so willing to let me do this. Please pray that my very slow brain will finally click with this language and that David and Chloe will do well when we are apart.
It is exciting that two more pastors want to move from their homes to this area to start Kuria churches. We praise God for people who are willing to leave their own tribes to take the Word to the thirsty. Please pray for these pastors and their families and that God's plans will be made clear for where they should serve. Pray also for Pastor Mwita and his wife who both have health problems and who are so vital to the ministry here.
We praise God for you and thank you so very much for your prayers on our behalf.
Blessings.
