The Strength of My Heart

Doing something a bit different and sharing photos with prayer guides today! Beginning with...

The ALMOST-FULLY-ROOFED Baraka Hall. We have spent much time in recent weeks praising God for the completion of this building, but KNOW that having a water-tight building with an additional floor is not our focus, our thanksgiving is for the new opportunities for training God's workmen in the completed building; the enlarged opportunities to equip the men and women who desire to carry out His Great Commission. For more photos taken last Thursday, CLICK the Kenya Baptist Theological College tab located above and visit the photo album, KBTC - August 20, 2015, and read Jack's comments. And when you finish - I know you will join us in offering praise and prayers for those being and who will be trained at KBTC!

Many of you do view the daily Nudges to Action for IMB Sub-Saharan African Peoples, but if you do not, you are missing an opportunity to know the real lives and needs of workers seeking to share our Father's Good News with all the peoples of Sub-Saharan Africa and the real lives and needs of our peoples. You are also missing opportunities to join them in our Father's work by praying. If you are reading this, it is easy to view recent nudges, CLICK the IMB Sub-Saharan African Peoples located above.

And to know more of what Jack and I are doing, seeing and experiencing, watch out for new posts on our special FB page, BITS OF OUR HEARTS and if you are on FB, ask to be our FB friends (our links are shared on the right). This page also has its on tab above and like the other pages can be viewed safely by anyone, including non-Facebook users. The photo above is a different edited view of the photo which appears on BITS OF OUR HEARTS page. REMEMBER that you are always free to copy any photos I share for use in nudging other to action for our Father's work.

Our final prayer nudge today is that you join us in praying that will always have hearts attuned to our Father and claim His strength as we obey and serve Him. BERT YATES

AND NOW... a few more views of what we did, saw and experienced this past week!

I often question if one of the greatest sources of learning for the
students is their discussions during tea times!

And below, two of our campus staff kids playing with chameleons.
Evidently you have to be under 5 feet tall to spot these things
as all the kids on campus can find them everywhere!

Our kids at Eastgate - Parklands Baptist Church encountered our
GOD OF THE UNIVERSE last week. VBS Leaders had hoped for
400 kids, but over 600 showed up! Sunday's wrap-up service
was a true time of celebration!

"Where is my baby?" An often asked question during VBS
by our pastor's wife (below on the right in blue).
We knew on Sunday morning. The row in front of us! At
least five people shared her care during the worship service.

Once again on Sunday, we were delayed on returning home thanks to
fans heading to a big football (with a round ball in our part of the
world) match. This may look a bit scary, but it is fun and one of
my joys of being a part of the Eastgate - PBC is that our
church family do get this excited about serving our Father!
