Kenya is blessed to have missionaries sent out to make a difference to ordinary lives, this is practical Jesus Love and that will cause people to believe in God. May the Lord sure establish you and may you live to be proud you were part of Kenya at this time as the Lord shapes this Nation for the destiny of Africa. To your Children, may the memories of this visit birth a hunger to spread the Gospel to the world to the Honor and Glory of of Our Father who Art in Heaven. Blessings Dr Paul and Jen

Psalm 23
A Psalm of David.
1 The LORD is my shepherd;
I shall not want.
2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still waters.
3 He restores my soul;
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
My cup runs over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life;
And I will dwell[a] in the house of the LORD
Forever.

I just find it so inspiring to see the work you all do over there. I find it so amazing that these children find it possible to smile after all they've been through & indeed the political uncertainty you all face. Praise the Lord for the protection He has given you so far. I add my prayers & thoughts for His further protection in the future. God bless you. Laurie Hi Jen

His unending since of adventure. Love breaks down all barriers color, language, culture, age. I experienced this first hand last Saturday February 2, 2008 in reverse at a christian community sponsored health fair for Sudanese refugees in Houston. It was this center and my first time to interact with this community. I had portions of my V.I.P. (Virtual Interactive Pediatric) Clinic. The first to approach me were the children. They took care of their 'patient' (the talking frog) and read or looked at an interactive book on The Human Body featuring Disney characters. The english speaking ones translated and 'instructed' others, often finding their parents, leading them by the hand and showing them what they learned, often having to translate to them. The minature full bible on MACK'S (a life size puppet) neck was a fascination to them and some exclaimed, I am a christian... and explaining why he wore sunglasses," his eyes are purple because he did drugs before he let Jesus in his heart." They felt the love and care and returned it. Their family ranged from Single parents to physicians and community leaders. Some have just arrived in Houston weeks and some for years, comming by way of France, Canada. The teenagers were friendly and helpful, 'stooping down' outside rather than sitting or standing offering to repack my car. This time of venturing into the unknown, here at home, really gave me an appreciation for foriegn missionaries, especially you and your family through Lakewood Church outreach. As you continue the legacy of your father and their grandfather, Pastor "O." His Legacy lives on. And the children shall lead them!!!
