"Asante kwa maombi yako"  in Swahili means  Thank you for your prayers.   I can not thank you enough for your prayers and support.  Please continue to pray for these upcoming and future trainings as we move beyond 2025 and seek every opportunity to make 2026 a significant year for Gospel Kingdom impact. 

Please pray for. . . 

• God to use these trainings as just one piece of His perfect plan for the Gospel to reach every nation and tribe.   - Did you know our translation of "nation" carries a meaning of people groups, not a political nation

• Please pray for me and the other trainers for our preparation, study, our spiritual walk relationship with God, and our work to prepare for our training.  For this upcoming trip, we will have two three-day training sessions and then another ten-day session. Three of us from the United States and another traveling from within Africa to teach culturally relevant topics and serve as one of our translators and an advisor to the students.   We are less than a month away from our departure. Travel has been booked in faith, and I am just waiting on one final visa to be approved.

• Please pray about financially supporting this work and future Gospel training opportunities, and for others to step up and generously give to support this and future missions work.  HOW TO GIVE The cost to sponsor these trainings is great, and the reward for those who receive the training is eternal.  Funds raised go towards: materials, in some cases meals and accommodations for students, travel for local indigenous instructors, preparation costs, printing, travel, accommodations, translators, drivers, locals who cook meals for the trainings, etc

• Please pray that the students will be open to receiving scriptural truth, experiencing God through his word, and recognizing the opportunities they have to reach others across villages with the hope of the Gospel, many of whom may be hearing the Gospel for the very first time.

• Pray for the students and their families.  The students will leave their families to tend their farms.  The students will walk and ride buses for long distances to reach the training, carrying only a few basic belongings so they can be a part of these trainings.

• Pray for our travels. It will take almost 3.5 days to reach our first training location, where we will train for 6 days. Then we will travel another 3 days to reach our final training location, and another 2 days, plus the 10-hour time difference, we make up on our way home.  10 legs of flights round trip

• Pray that God receives the glory and praise He is due as the infinite God, creator of all, revealer of truth and perfector of faith, may all we do point to his holiness.

Please share this message or my contact information with anybody you know who believes in prayer and will offer up prayer support for our time and work while there and for the legacy of this work to continue.

How can I be praying for you?

I would love to connect to share more about this and future trainings and share specifics of how you can pray.  “Mungu ajidhihirishe kwako katika mwaka mpya” in swahili means “May God reveal Himself to you in the new year.”​
