News From Loyangalani!
Dear Family and Friends,
We wish you a very refreshing, joy-filled and God honoring Christmas season! We are hopeful in dark times because th One Who was born years ago... lives in our hearts by faith. What a treasure!
Jade still understands the real meaning of Christmas; even as a preteen! She created our manger scene out of colored clay this year. She happily made a cow because Jim asked for one. Didn't complain when the original Mary / Joseph turned out to be 'goliaths' and she needed to re-create them. And, of course, she has plenty of camels, a little shepherd girl and her small lamb in it as well.
Robbie is with us for anouther week. We love having him around! We tackled his Calculus together but I was no help! It was easier to feed his five RVA boarding school friends who arrived on motorcycles for a few days. They rabbit-hunted one evening and left a hungry & happy Turkana mom and kids the gutted carcasses. Jim asked the mother why she had a bag of poisonour 'tomato-type' fruit. She said the drought hasn't left them much to eat but if you boil these round fruits, draining the water twice, it's not harmful. The Lord drenched us with rain the last few days. We're so grateful and ask you to pray for more!
Julie graduated Summa Cum Laude on Dec. 20th. The Lord's gifted her; she's been faithful to Him by His grace. Many are watching how the Lord will continue to guide, encourage and use her! She's back in Robbinsville for awhile; working for the local newspaper and writing, writing, writing.
Paul, Callie and Precious... Annabelle are settling well into life and ministry in Florida. Pray for them as their sights are still set on getting to Kenya as missionaries this coming year.
The Loyangalani church family matures in dealing with Biblical issues. Men and women can read the Word with comprehension now. Nicholas preaches when Jim and Tim are away. They long for their families to come to trust Christ as well. Benji finishes his last year at Kijabe nursing school. Please pray for all the young adults facing major decisions in their lives. Thanks.
Thank you for your prayers through a year of trials and fruit. We will be praying for you throughout the New Year as well.
Love and Prayers from Jim, Barb, Robbie, and Jade
