Dear All, Tuesday’s Bottom Line: They made it to Loo (“LOW-oh”) and Scott is very excited about who all is expected to attend the one-day DM seminar there. His health is improving. Tuesday’s Prayer Requests: 1. God’s mercy for the folks in Kenya devastated by disastrous floods (details below). 2. Scott to connect well with the Loo area pastors; a DM outpost to be established there. 3. No distractions to hinder Wednesday’s seminar; all technical, logistical, and relational things to go well!Tuesday’s Details: First, the crisis in Kenya. A few days ago, Scott said, “Hellen’s home was flooded. She is thankful to be alive.” Hellen is one of the key leaders of the Kenya Discipleship Network. She lives in Kenya’s capital, Nairobi. Today, Scott said, “Please pray for our Disciple-makers in Kenya. The flooding they are experiencing has caused much property damage, roads destroyed and loss of life. Rev Hellen’s home was flooded and a dam broke near Pastor Peter’s place. May God have mercy.” I heard on national news this morning that, “Massive floods and a landslide near Nairobi have swept away homes and cars and killed dozens of people… At least 45 people are confirmed dead with about 50 still missing.” This article gives more details. Please pray for those who have lost family and/or homes in this disaster, and pray for our team members there. Back in the Philippines… On today’s drive from La Trinidad to Loo, our team (Scott, Pastors Wilson and Angelica, and Johnwell and Aprila) stopped at the highest point in the Philippines.Sightseers at the Filipino top of the worldScott said, “We are in Loo now and have met with the host pastor and his leaders. They have over 60 registered from 18 churches for tomorrow’s seminar, including 14 pastors. I’m very excited to hear about the projected attendance. Please pray that we are able to connect with a good number of pastors and establish a healthy DM Outpost here in Benguet province.” He sent us these pictures, saying, “It is so beautiful!”Pastor Wilson capturing the viewMountains and terraced fields |
“How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of the messenger who brings good news, the good news of peace and salvation, the news that the God of Israel reigns!” (Isaiah 52:7, NLT). Your PRAYERS during this mission trip are enabling Scott and our team to bring good news and transformational teaching to pastors in the Loo area. Thank you for standing with us so faithfully. God is good! Blessings, Patty |
