Today’s update begins today with an invitation to “Tag along for a Church Planting Seminar in rural Kakamega, western Kenya. A great look at what God is doing, as well as an added bonus of how Kenyan WMU members are ‘God's Fellow Workers’ in their homeland.” I promise that you will find it impossible to not smile at some of these pictures or to praise God for what is happening in Kenya. Plus, anyone in need of program material for the upcoming WMU FOCUS WEEK will find needed inspiration and pictures to copy and use at this site. It is downloaded on FACEBOOK, but you do not have to be a FACEBOOK member to log on to the Photo Album found at: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=190915&id=685050129&l=1efbd53fb5

We are depending upon your prayers! Jack is halfway through teaching the second of the third CHURCH PLANTING TRAININGS, one in each of the local Baptist associations in Kakamega, during this trip . Our prayers for clarity as he teaches and understanding by the participants was answered in the first training which was Sunday and Monday, pray the same for the conclusion of the second training which will be completed today (Wednesday) and for the third round on Thursday and Friday. Thank you for praying for my ability to share what is happening through my “travel” internet system - it is working great! Your prayers were answered for safety as we traveled last week, THANK YOU, now pray for our return trip on Saturday to Nairobi. Two long sections of the road to be travelled is in horrible condition with lots of hazards.

And finally, last week I asked that you “ Join us also in praying for those suffering and for those ministering in Haiti.” A friend with Baptist Global Response - http://gobgr.org - asks that you go to their website to find a downloadable Haiti bulletin to share with your church and friends and learn how you can help in the current situation and others in need. Thank you for your prayers, BERT YATES
