Another Day in Unrest

This is Jessica again. I wish that my mom could right to you and give you a first hand account of what is going on, but she is not able to at this time.

At this time, they are still being advised by the US Embassy to remain in their homes and not to venture out onto the streets. I spoke with someone at the Embassy in Kenya this morning and they assure me they are monitoring the situation. They do not feel at this time that they need to remove Americans from the situation. They told me that Americans are not being targeted, so there is no reason to remove them.

My family continues to ask for your prayers. They know that is what is going to make the difference in this situation.

Things to pray specifically are:

1. Continued Protection - My family has another family living with them. It is an American man married to a Kenya lady. She is Kikuyu. They have two young daughters.

2. The American Embassy - That they would stay in touch with my family. They would also make wise decisions.

3. Peace for a nation being torn apart. Mom told me that every African they know has lost someone either they are missing or they have been murdered.

4. God's will - They know and we know that God knew they would be there during this time. They are not sure if they would have gone if they would have known beforehand that they would have been in this situation, but they are there and God knows. "For such a time as this" God is good. No situation is a surprise to Him and He puts his best where they belong. I know that my family is where God wants them. And if that is what I believe, then I stand in faith also believing He will take care of them.

5. The Innocent of Kenya - Protection for those caught in this terrible situation. That another incident like the one in the church would not happen.

6. Josh - Please pray peace for my brother who has not only left Father, Mother and siblings there, but his bride to be. He so wants to be there to defend her and protect her. Pray he would see that God had him here with purpose also.

7. The Schmdits and Leisters here in the states - Pray that we would continue to walk in faith knowing that God is in charge of all things. That He loves our loved ones more than we do and He wants to see peace and the love of Jesus come out of this situation.

Please pray with me Psalm 91 over my family. They are seeing people fall on their right and left and I believe as the Psalm says that nothing will touch them.

Thank for your continued prayers and support. I will try to keep this as up to date as possible.

Jessica

Holidays in Kenya!

Hi all our loved ones in the states! We are still very on and off with the internet. We just today changed to a new service, prayfully it will help our concistancy. We have now had 3 birthdays and Thanksgiving in Kenya. Marvin's, Myself andd Troy's we had people from 9:30am to 10:30pm ,it was a great day' On Thanksgiving we were invited to the Church of Christ,Discipleship Colege, to have lunch with all the foreign missionaries. That means that everyone was white excet the 2 wemon whom we have met who are married to Americans. It was very odd for us at first because we had not seen a group of whites the whole time we have been here. There were about 50 of us counting children, the children we have never seen in town. There were some from America, Germany, Switzerland and France. The Europieans do not celebrate Thanksgiving obviously but they like to socilize with other white foke. It was a very nice day and the food was great! They invited us to a missions prayer time eac

A Miracle Month!

Wow, what a month February has been! I think I will declare the unconditional love of God and His favor at the beginning of every month! We have had so many testimonies to God's miracles around us! So I am releasing the Spirit of Prophesy in proclaiming the testimony of Jesus! We have a new housekeeper ( described as house help here in Kenya) she has worked for us around 3 months. Her and her husband pastor a church in one of the slum areas,Heruma. This area was one of the areas most hit by the violence last year. Many sad stories, many women and children left abandoned because of a dead or just missing husband. Bea and Francis minister to these families! They are good people and good workers too, Francis has been working on the new house with Horace. While working in our kitchen Bea noticed that we had a super surplus of 500ml tins with lids. These tins are what the babies formula comes in and we go through about 5 a week. We have used as many as we could for storing different thi

Hello blog family! We are truly here! We have been very buisy getting things in order here at our new home. We set up a new internet system, this does not change our address or anything just how we operate from here. It has been quite a month. We have had a visit from Romanian friends that was just wonderful. We can not wait until they come again. They shared their love for chidlren with those we have here and encouraged us so much with their love for all of us and kenya. Thom Seagren & Dean Miller arrived on the 19th of Sept. and left on the 24th. They were able to check out the new house and work on long term planning. We saw the vision we all have for the orphaned children here in kenya come to life on this property and expand to future plans for the Jui Kali propery, it was a exciting time. Besides the fact that we just enjoyed haveing their company around our home. They got to meet and know the children we now have and to even visit chidlren we are looking at bringing to this
