Africa Update

Dear Ones,

Greetings from Cape Town, South Africa.  We hope that you and yours are well and that y'all are enjoying a refreshing summer season.

To update you, Mimi and I lost a few days to illness in Kenya last month but are gladly back on schedule.

Thank you for your prayers.  Mimi and I are well again and ministering with a group of our HBU biblical language graduates, now living here in Africa.  We are proud like parents!  We all wake up in the book of Acts, live with Christians "faithing it" like in the book of Acts, encounter God at work all around us like in the book of Acts, and crash each night looking forward to another day in God's unfolding story of redemption.

Thank you for your part in all that we get to experience in the lives of young Christian leaders.  We only wish that you were here with us, watching God work so abundantly in Africa.

We are heading back to Kenya later this month to rejoin teams of HaMoreh missionary teachers working at the Kenya Baptist Theological College and at Daystar University.  All are well and enjoying huge experiences.  My teaching and preaching is going well, thank you for your prayers.

Please continue to pray for God's anointing on our teaching and preaching ministries - and over all of our growing mentoring relationships with young African Christian leaders.  The harvest is plentiful and the laborers are few....

Thank you for your financial support.  I am reminded of these pressing needs as we labor day by day with our brothers and sisters:

 

  • Providing textbooks and other materials for 2 additional courses (OT and NT Theology) and scholarships for African teachers and our African students

 

  • Funding Africa mission costs including international travel, in-country ministry, and completing our digital database and digital material delivery system


May we all continue to journey in joy together....

Love,

Jamie and Mimi

My time in Kenya (so far) can be characterized nicely by an encounter that I had just last night. I was on my way across the beautiful KBTC campus to eat dinner and then go to bed, as I was very tired after six hours of class. On the way, there was a Kenyan man walking in the same direction and, as is custom in Kenya, we shook hands and greeted. He informed me of his name, Onesmus, and told me that he had just arrived in order to graduate the next day at the large ceremony KBTC would be ...

It began in ‘baby Hebrew' class, singing the 133rd psalm and being captivated by Jamie's stories of joy and life of a different kind. It continued in Kenya with a summer long practicum with another people, experiencing rich community in ways that left us permanently changed. That joy and that life continues to haunt us, to challenge us, and to bless us, even today. Psalm 133 was sung in anticipation of communal worship to the King. It is about how good and how marvelous life is when we ...
