5 More Weeks!

It's amazing that we're only 5 short weeks away from Kenya. We still have so much to do! So many bags to pack, so many preparations to make, so many details to finalize, and so many prayers to offer. Please pray with us.

One of the things we've talked much about in our mission preparations, is our need to display Christ-like attitudes. We have identified 7 constructive attitudes that must be reflected in each of our lives, the whole time we are on our mission trip. Please pray that each of these would be true of each of us, for as these are fleshed out in us, we will be usable instruments through which God can build His Kingdom and bring glory to His name.

1. I will give away all my rights; they belong to the Lord anyway.
2. I will not become bitter or discouraged if any of my rights, privileges, & responsibilities are taken away.
3. I will resist the temptation to have an answer for everything on any subject.
4. I will not play the role of the wealthy provider.
5. I will cheerfully change, or drop my planned program to meet local needs & fit into the local context.
6. I will consult and support Pastor Wambua and all other local leaders and believers.
7. I will seek to live and work in a way that reflects Christ living in me.
