Greetings from East Africa!

We want to send greetings to you and assure you of our prayers for your NMI convention. May the presence of the Lord be felt in each service and an increased desire to serve the Lord be each one's prayer.

After 16 years serving in the area of church growth, the last three years have been as Work and Witness and Building Coordinators for East Africa - serving Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. It's our desire to help local congretations here in East Africa become involved in doing what they can to help in the building process. It's been a blessing to see them provide local materials and labor, and work along side Work and Witness teams from America. From late May to the end of August, we will be hosting and working with five teams from across America! The Lord is blessing and providing the funds and laborers to help with building churches, parsonages, district centers, and the pastors training center for extension classes.

It is our desire during the next two years as your new LINKS missionaries to share with you about the work in East Africa. God is blessing, new people are being saved and accepted into membership, churches are being built, God's kingdom is on the increase! We trust you will LINK up with us in praying for:
