For about 8 years, we have had a website telling some stories of Kenya along with some photos.  We occasionally receive email from people saying how much they appreciate a preview of Kenya and Kijabe.  The site gets over 200 visitors per day and we've wondered what people are getting from it.  A few weeks ago, we noticed that the missions bulletin board in our church had been redone with some information on ministries in Kenya.  Half of the photos on it were from our website!  Mike found who had put it together and asked if he knew that he'd used our photos.  He said, "No I didn't, I got them from the Baptist Convention office!"  We wonder how many other places have used the photos to give people an idea of what Kenya is like, and what God is doing there.

Bernadine received another call that some blankets were coming to Saint John for our project. Elizabeth was coming from Arthurette, a small village located 300 km away.  Bernadine met her at the hospital. Thankfully, it wasn't too difficult to find the lady holding the quilt. When they went out to the parking lot to transfer several bags of blankets between cars in the pouring rain, they found themselves parked in adjacent spaces in a parking lot among hundreds of cars. Elizabeth was amazed and confidently stated, "Only God could have worked this one out so perfectly!”

One Tuesday evening of every month, Bernadine attends a missions group.  Every Tuesday night, Michael and Evan go to "Tree Climbers", a Christian Service Brigade program for young boys and their fathers.  Last week we realized that we hadn't arranged anyone to babysit Julianne.  When Bernadine finished talking to our regular sitter to confirm that she wasn't available, the phone rang.  It was Julianne's friend calling, wondering if Julianne could go to her house for a few hours.

One of the most amazing miracles we have seen since our preparation for Kenya is the response to the Homemade Blankets for Kenya project. We have received 500 blankets and quilts from across Canada and various parts of the United States. We expect the number of blankets to at least double by the end of May. By speaking to the blanket makers, I realize they too are experiencing life's little miracles and blessings through the blanket project.  We were touched by the Pioneer Girls from Sussex United Baptist Church who sent us some photos of them and the quilts they made.

We see God's hand daily, yet it does take a lot more trust to believe God will work out a bigger miracle in our lives.

We have 23% of our monthly support and have more than half of our outgoing funds. We need at least 85% of our monthly support pledged by the first of July in order to purchase our plane tickets. This will allow us to get to Kenya in time for orientation before the school year begins. We need a miracle. 

Thanks to all who are supporting us with our Kenya mission.

Blessings,
