Preparing for our trip
January 18, 2008
We wanted to share with you what God is doing and ask you to join us in prayer. We are finally headed back to Africa to serve at Tenwek Hospital for a month. I will be operating and giving furlough to the resident missionary surgeon. Jenn and the children will be able to serve at the hospital and in the village schools. Please pray for peace in Kenya and our safety — there is much unrest and violence following the recent elections. Pray we would remain healthy and strong. Pray that my mind and skills would be sharp in the operating room. Pray we would be a witness for Jesus Christ and a blessing to both the staff and the people of Kenya.

Dear Dr. Paul, Jennifer, Georgia, Olivia, Sophia and Jackson,
I am praying for you daily. Glad you arrived safely. I hope everyone is over jet lag by now. I prayed that the Spirit of might would strengthen you! I enjoyed reading all your blog and am glad your family members, teachers, and so many friends are supporting you in prayer and with notes of encouragement. When Joyce and I went to the Short Term Missions Team conference last weekend, a whole group of people were gathered to pray for Kenya. The Missions Director at Windsor Village is married to a Kenyan, and they are praying for Kenya, too!
I pray for continued peace, health, knowledge and skill to flow to you and through you while you are in Kenya, that you will all develop new, healthy relationships and fun friends, that your light for Jesus will shine brightly and you will be a blessing and a refreshing to the staff and their families where you are serving and to the people of Kenya.
Love in Jesus,
Renee Branson
