Revamped, refreshed, and ready to go!

It has officially been a month since I left home! It's crazy to think that it's already been that long.  I felt that it was time to revamp the blog, so I got a new background and replaced the stock photos at the top with some of my own from the summer.  I apologize because it does take a little bit longer to load the page, but I think it looks much better (let me know what you think!).  I also added a few (or more) links.  At the top you will find a banner for the CESA Hands On web site.  This is a site being updated with information about all of the Hands On teams in the CESA (Central, Eastern, & Southern Africa) region.  Then, a little ways down on the left you will find the Hands On logo. This link takes you to The Task website with the listings of the Hands On projects for the coming semesters.  Below that, you will find links to blogs of my friends all over CESA sharing the love of Jesus.  Check them all out!  They're some really awesome people!

The past few days have been really good! God allowed Breanne, Joseph, and I to lead 3 people (one of whom was Muslim!) to Christ through sharing our testimonies and the Gospel on Friday!  Pray for the fourth, Betty, that she might accept Christ in the coming days.  It was amazing how evident the Holy Spirit was working on her heart.  

Steven and I were supposed to go with the Carson's to church at Bonda, but Stephen (Carson) was sick this morning, possibly with Malaria, so we have been here at the compound all day.  The girls went to church with the Berry's at Kipuli (pronounced chi-boo-lee) and invited all of the youth to come here for a Bible study tonight.  We weren't sure what to expect, but we ended up having nearly 30 people!  We had a short Bible study, but we spent most of the time talking wit them about what they want to do and what they are going through.  It was a humbling discussion as they talked about their struggles with money for school fees and food.  Pray that God will show us what we need to teach them from the Word to encourage them and that He will speak to their hearts through us and through each other!  We will be meeting with the missionaries and pastors here this week to really initiate the Bible studies and figure out how to grow our ministry here. Please continue to pray for the work that God is doing here!  Pray for God to show His will, that we might adjust and conform to it however we need to.  Pray that we will become nothing so that Christ can be everything!

Love you and miss you all!!
