I had the great privilege of participating in my home church’s (Westminster Reformed Presbyterian in Suffolk, VA) missions conference at the end of March. Westminster’s heart for the gospel and for the advancement of God’s Kingdom throughout the earth was a great blessing and encouragement.
While teaching in a children's Sunday school class, I was asked “What language do they speak in Kenya.” I replied that there are two national languages: Swahili and English. A little boy on the front row jumped up and yelled, “I think I know some English! My sister knows a lot of English, she’s learning it in school!” My faith in our school systems is now renewed.
Among the ministries represented were ministry to the differently-abled in Chile, ministry to Jews in Philidelphia, and ministry to church leaders in South Africa. It was such a clear picture of the Body of Christ: everyone was using their gifts, resources, and talents to serve our God.
I believe that my gifts and talents are in ministering to the poor and I pray that God uses me to minister His gospel in word and deed in Kenya. I hope to be in Nakuru, a city about 3 hours North, West of Nairobi, by August.
