We are still not fully settled in our new (for us) home in the countryside only a few minutes from the Kenya Baptist Theological College and I'm still way behind, BUT so many great things are happening that we MUST get back to weekly posts on our blog sharing our latest news and prayer items.
BERT’S NEWS
 |
View spotted last week as we drove into
Limuru to buy fresh milk and bread! |
My work has changed in ways in recent weeks, but I still have the joy of serving as the Prayer (Social) Networker for the IMB Sub-Saharan African Peoples and sharing the stories of how God is at work among our peoples. There is no longer a special FB page where daily Nudges to Action (Praying, Giving and Serving) are shared, which has given me a chance to do something I’ve felt God leading me to do for months. To view my new daily devotional/ on mission posts, click the BITS OF OUR HEART tab (located above).
BERT'S PRAYER REQUESTS
Please join me in praying that my thoughts will strengthen and encourage fellow Believers to “remain true to the faith” (Acts 14:22) as we join together in proclaiming “the eternal gospel… to those who live on the earth—to every nation, tribe, language and people” (Revelation 14:6).

This was truly an ‘alive and active’ view spotted last
Sunday as we entered the worship service at Tigoni
Baptist of offering “to God a sacrifice of praise"
(Hebrews 13:15).

Will you also pray for wisdom and strength as in coming months I work with a group preparing a social media guide for use by missionaries? Using the internet can be frustrating at times and yes, there are ways that it can be misused, but it is truly a gift for missionaries who want to share their stories of what God is doing and how others can join in our Father’s work.
JACK’S PRAISES
 |
Jack stays busy, but he did find time
to preach one Sunday morning! |
A fruitful Kenya Baptist Theological College BOG (Board of Governors’) meeting this month. Collaboration with Mount Meru University has been approved and KBTC will begin offering Degree programs later this year. A partnership with Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary will begin soon, which will allow KBTC to offer a Masters in Theology.

Sam Holt teaching a special
month-long Keyboard Class. |
God has provided volunteers (Samantha Holt, Landon Coleman and Bob Jones) in recent weeks who taught, did construction, invested their lives in students and met many other needs at KBTC. God is calling students and they are responding, resulting in increasing enrollment at all levels. God continues to guide our wonderful staff who work selflessly.
The Holy Spirit’s abiding presence in our lives, a wonderful home (on the side of a mountain with beautiful flowers and constant visits by birds and monkeys), and the opportunity to worship with an exciting church family.
JACK’S PRAYER REQUESTS
Will you join me in praying that we will continue to put our total faith in our Lord and trust Him for all things!
CLOSING WORDS FROM JACK AND BERT
Thank you for being our prayer partners and for all the other ways you support us as we seek to serve our Father.
