Special Blessings to Ruth Cooke who has been serving at the Kima International School of Theology in Kenya.  She is currently returning to the USA to obtain medical treatment and our prayers are with her.

Now that leaves KIST without a nurse until Lori and I can get there, so the we pray the remaining funding that is needed will be pledged in this month of October!

We have over 75% of the Living Link budget pledged and we are praying for partners to step up and finish this fund raising process.  If my figures are correct we still need about $8000 per year for the three years we plan to serve at KIST.  (That is about 12 pledges at $700 per share, or 23 pledges at a dollar a day, or 8 pledges at $1000 per year - P.S. one time pledges can be divided over the three years.)
We are truly blessed by those who have chosen to be our support partners!

Adam our oldest son is in the final stages of training for deployment and we request prayers for him and the family he will leave in Cedar Rapids.

Our granddaughter Kaylee watches as her daddy is sent off on deployment and Joel wants to hang on to dad too.  Michelle will have her hands full while he is gone, but she has a good support system thankfully.
We have been blessed to be so near to them and able to help in this time.
Speaking of time, I need to be on my way to get the school children home on the bus I drive.
