From Kenya to Greece

Our last day at AMCC. This was taken right before we departed while the kids were at school.

Maggie and Nancy together, the Kenyan and the American who each are of one heart and mind for Jesus, crossing a bridge. How prophetic!
Though our visit to AMCC this time was much more refreshing than it has been before, we encountered once again the severity of their situation, and also once again the faithfulness of God. And along with His faithfulness, the reminder of the calling that He has given us in partnering with Him in raising up AMCC. We both felt an encouraging conviction and a renewal of direction for that calling, which we will share more about later as the Lord gives us clarity on the roles He has for us to play.

On the night before we left, as we were hanging out with the kids to say our "goodbyes", Eutycus asked Nick, "Excuse me Uncle. Could it be that if you and Aunt Maggie stayed in Kenya for maybe two years, your skin can become dark like ours?" (Eutycus is on the front row in the dark brown suit, the second from the right)

This was followed by Brian's question, "Excuse me Uncle. There on the plane, you can put your head out of the window for entertainment when flying?" To this we both had a hearty laugh and promised that we would take a picture of the inside of a plane and send it to them.
-Father, we thank you for our time at AMCC, and for the relationship that you have given us. We recognize that you are their sustainer and it is because of you alone that they are still going. Lord, please show us the roles that you have for us to play in this amazing story and let us glorify you in our relationship with one another and in the growth of your Kingdom! In Jesus' name we pray!

Our next destination is Greece, that land of ancient history and religion. Where Democracy was born and where Paul preached to many on the Mars Hill about the alter that had been raised to "An Unknown God". We will go first to Athens and find there the Acropolis where the earliest inhabitants made their dwelling! It is our prayer that we would meet someone there in Greece who knows you Lord, who loves you, and who is striving for your Kingdom!
