Financial Prayer Requests

Back to Kenya, We hope

2012-01-16T11:59:00.000-08:00

Thank you to each of you that have helped us keep our ministry going.

We hope to return to Kenya in March.

There are many financial needs to accomplish this goal. And we are still praying for God to raise up more monthly supporteres. Once we get back to Kenya we will need to have a steady income for bills and ministry.

1) Monthly Bills ($1625)
2) Wedding Expenses ($525)
3) Dentist ($1000)
4) Airline Tickets ($4500)
5) Immigration Fees-($300)

We are so close to getting our Christmas Wish

       and would like to establish medical insurance before we return to Kenya.

A Christmas Wish

2011-12-13T14:35:00.000-08:00

It would be a fantastic gift if we could have all of our bills paid by the end of December.
It is our Christmas Wish. We are looking at returning to Kenya in March and we have a wedding coming up in February. They both seem insurmountable goals since we still have November rent that has not been paid. If you could help us catch up on these bills and get a strong start towards returning to Kenya we would be very grateful!
