An Update from George

“Send me and I will go.” That has been our motto in serving the Lord. This past May we felt called to go Korogwe to work with Africa Harvest of Hope. Since we consider Africa Harvest of Hope’s visions and missions as the same our family’s- Making the Lord known to both the needy, the orphans and widows through the gifts God has given us - we made a step of faith and left Kenya, knowing that we are willing to work anywhere, any time for Him.

Although we made our plans, God directed our ways and He has given Africa Harvest of Hope renewed missions and visions which has relocated them to Moshi instead of Korogwe. Starting afresh is hard but because this is God’s plan, who are we to question such challenges we face in the mission field. With love in our hearts, Stacie and I left Korogwe after facing a lot of obstacles, however we thank God that we are still on His tracks - having not lost our way- Making him known to the whole world starting by with a few who are close to us.

We are now in Moshi, found a house and are settling our family as we wait for the leaders of Africa Harvest of Hope to keep the work of God rolling in Moshi. We still feel called to serve with Africa Harvest of Hope as we very much support their mission to reach people for Christ and help orphans, widows and the needy. Moshi is where their ministry work began several years ago and so it's kind of like a coming home for them. Already progress has been made for the ministry to set up its own NGO (non-governmental organization) and get us our work permits. Our vision is to open an orphanage in the Moshi area, preach the Gospel and teach basic Christianity doctrine for these children so that they grow up knowing the Lord.

That will take time as there is lots of fund raising to do stateside by the ministry. In the meantime, we'll be completing the NGO paperwork, researching where the location will be and doing the background work that is needed. Additionally, we'll be partnering with a ministry called Yesu Anaweza (God is Able) doing discipleship, teaching and working with kids which is similar to what I was doing with the Trinity Fellowship ministry back in Kenya. We are very excited to start as I will be teaching this Sunday in church on being called to serve.

We want to thank all the loved ones that have been with us since the beginning. We are here, but you all are doing the work there which allows us to do this on your behalf. Without you, it’s not possible and we look forward to a continued partnership with you all ….our friends, family, Rancho del Rey church, financial and prayer supporters and all the others out there who have joined this team – some of whom we may not ever know, but we praise the Lord for you.

Proverbs 16:9 We can make our plans, but the LORD determines our steps.
