This is our cry

"God be gracious to us and bless us,

And cause His face to shine upon us--Selah.

That Thy way may be known on the earth

Thy salvation among all nations.

Let the peoples praise Thee, O God;

Let all the peoples praise Thee."

Psalm 67:1-3

Ps. 67:1-3 is serving as a theme scripture for us. Our hearts' desire is for God's grace and blessing be upon us as we go to Kenya. We acknowledge that we can do no good on our own and that if He is not empowering us, then all of our human effort will be in vain. We desperately stand in need of His heart, His wisdom, His righteousness, His strength. We pray, and ask you to pray, for His grace to be upon us.

We do not ask this for selfish reasons; not for our benefit, or our success, or our glory. Instead, we ask that God would bless us so that we might be a blessing to others. We want God's ways and God's salvation to be made known through us. We long to see people experience the wonderful salvation that is available through Christ Jesus alone. We want to participate in the building of His Kingdom. And we pray that the service we render would result in the increased fame, worship, and glory of our wonderful Lord. He alone is worthy. May all the peoples praise Him!
