You'll all be relieved to hear that I'm still alive. I've just been pretty bad at communicating with anyone for the past few weeks (Some of you who have sent me emails in the last month or two will say that it's been a lot longer than that!)
So what's happening in Kenya? I've been mostly immersed in the school this past term -- I'm there at least 5 days a week, sometimes more. It's been very busy, but I'm really enjoying it! The term finishes at the end of March -- exams start at the end of this week so pray for the kids as they are working very hard at the moment! Pray for those who aren't saved -- I had asked you to pray for one young man a while ago -- the one from a Muslim background. I've talked to him a bit since that; but like many of the kids here, he seems more concerned about his family problems and other issues in his life than his soul. Now many of them do have big problems at home, and I'm not depreciating those, but human nature tends to concentrate on the issues in time rather than eternity.
There's another boy who's been much on my heart -- he is probably 18 or 19 and comes from a Christian home. He's made a profession (actually he tells me multiple professions) in the past, but he says now he knows he's not saved. He has been in some trouble recently, and I think this has made him start thinking seriously about his condition. He says he knows he needs to be saved, and he is going to get saved some day soon, but he's just not ready yet! He says he's trying to change and do better -- but of course I had to tell him that he'll never be able to change himself. He needs the Lord to give him a new heart and make him a new creature. Please pray that the Spirit of God will convict him and show him his sin. For all his concern and trouble of heart, it is of course his love of sin that is holding him back from seeking God.
Here are a few of the kids I'm working with!
