The Laptops are coming out of the woodwork....

This view from the North Fork Mountain trail shows why we enjoy the mountains of West Virginia. It was during a hike along this trail last Spring that I was inspired to think of ways we could make a difference in the lives of our friends serving in ministry in Kenya and at NEGST.

Last year when we were in Kenya we were delighted that we were able to purchase 2 used laptops and leave behind for deserving student ministries. After returning to the USA, I has a chance to brainstorm with Jay Hein, CEO of the Sagamore Institute. Some of you may know Jay from his service to former President Bush, as head of the "faith based initiatives" program. One of Jay's ideas was to put the word out to request that used laptops be donated so our team could refurbish them and leave them behind after we complete our computer training classes.

I just received an e-mail from our team leader that we now have 21 laptops and 12 flat screen monitors that have been donated. This will allow us to expand our classes as we will use these computers for training and then will be donated to NEGST which will help improve their computing and Information Technology improvement efforts. This was a true blessing from God. It is amazing how God always provides what we need, just in time.

So we send out these prayer requests for our team:

Please pray for safe travels both in, to, and from Kenya

Please pray for team unity

Please pray for good health and stamina

Please pray that we as a team will go and serve as true servant leaders

Please pray that we can listen to and love well the people we will interact with

Please pray that we can be effective in our primary purposes

Please pray that God can use us as ambassadors of the gospel to those that are lost

Please pray that we will see how God is working in Kenya and other parts of Africa

Please pray that the team members will be blessed for the sacrifices they are making to be able to go and serve

Please pray for family members that will be staying behind
