We had so much to say we posted twice today! Don’t miss the second one!
Well, we made it back to Kenya! Our month in the States was crazy and exhausting: we taught Sunday Schools, spoke in services, met with boards, got great time with our family, were both in a wedding, and hung out over coffee. Thanks to everyone for coming, meeting, sharing, listening, and praying for us along the way.
Sharing about our work in Kenya helped remind us why we’re here. We truly feel blessed to be a part of the work of empowering Christ’s church to pursue His kingdom by working with the poor. And we feel so supported by all of you. Your prayers, words of encouragement, and acts of kindness towards us are overwhelming; our trip home reminded us that we work as part of a team that includes literally hundreds of folks thousands of miles away. We’ve only been back four days, and already there are new issues and hurdles to try to deal with, so we covet your prayers in the days ahead. We really believe that through it all Christ is teaching us amazing things about Himself and His kingdom, and we hope that many of you will follow along with us on that by reading the blog. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Praying that Christ would call you further and farther out into His love than ever before,

Speaking of Haiti. It is a shame that some so called Christian deem themselves God's mouthpieces and speak for Satan. And a lot of the help in Haiti is coming from secular organizations, putting Christians to shame. I'm sure God will deal with Robertson is His own time. But spreading the truth is always appropriate.
