CMF INTERNATIONAL Prayer Newsletter

September 1999

Life in Kenya has been busy! Our winter, your

summer, is always a blur of activity with people
coming and going. In this newsletter, we want to

take the opportunity to share with you what we do

here in Nairobi. We will begin by "setting the
scene" for you.
9:00
As I write this letter, we have 14 families and six

singles serving with CMF in Kenya. At all times,

we have families on furlough, preparing to leave for
furlough, or just retuming. We have new recruits
preparing to come and sadly, dear friends, preparing
to leave the field permanently. It is a dynamic, everchanging group.

I cannot describe a typical day in our role. Each day

brings its own needs. Unexpected situations arrive
daily. The day we describe for you is not
uncommon, yet some days are quieter, and if
possible, some days are even busier.

Adam is starting at Rosslyn Academy in late

It is an excellent school, and we are very happy to

for Adam as he has been homeschooled for the

past five years, and this is a major transition for

Fourth of July
While living in a foreign country, we have learned
to appreciate all the more the holidays and events
that celebrate our great country. We celebrated in
traditional style with good friends, hot dogs,
hamburgers, and a family game of baseball. It was
COLD, and we wore our sweatshirts. But in

contrast, we celebrate Christmas in the HOT days of

summer!

Rejoice!
We continue to praise the Lord for the opportune
we have to be in Kenya. We have learned so muct.
about ourselves and this country. This process has
been faith testing and faith stretching. We are

We will go to court on October 4 for Paul's

legal paperwork.

Please continue to pray for the Stateside aspect
