Dear Ones,

On behalf of our African family of faith, Mimi and I thank you for your prayers and for your support of our 2008 mission to the beautiful and needy people of Africa.  Our summer was jammed full of Bible teaching in churches and in classrooms.  With heartfelt thanks for your help, here are just a few mentions of God’s work amongst us this summer:

•    Mentoring our 6 resident African faculty members teaching Old and New Testament classes and assisting them as they train younger teachers to follow
•    Mentoring 5 North American seminary students (Regent College, Gordon-Conwell Seminary, Beeson Divinity School, and Southwestern Seminary) as they taught young pastors for the first time in Africa
•    Providing materials, and teachers, for 2 new Bible courses at the Kenya Baptist Theological College and sponsoring a new faculty member for the KBTC
•    Mentoring and providing funding for our 6 Daystar University students - 2 graduated in June and are now back in Rwanda and Niger ministering full time!
•    Teaching a NT Greek reading class in 1 John for the KBTC - a first in the area!
•    Preaching a full schedule in slum churches with students (Kibera, Kangemi, and Kayoli)

While we thank God for all that He has accomplished through our efforts so far in 2008 - much more is to be done.  HaMoreh presently has 4 classes underway in Nairobi.  I return to Kenya on December 13 for another teaching and preaching mission.  God is growing our work as He excites those around us with amazing ministry opportunities in Africa!  Here are a few needs for the remaining days of 2008 (also see http://www.hamoreh.org/3789 and http://www.hamoreh.org/10984):

•    Providing textbooks and other materials for 2 additional courses (OT and NT Theology)
•    Funding scholarships for our African teachers and our African students
•    Funding Africa mission costs including international travel, in-country ministry, and completing our digital data base and digital material delivery system

At present, we are praying for the $35,000 HaMoreh needs to finish funding its 2008 budget.  Would you please pray about funding needed textbooks, other study materials, scholarships, and other Africa mission costs?  The harvest is plentiful….

Mungu akubariki ("God bless"),
