“The children of Israel brought a willing offering unto the LORD, every man and woman, whose heart made them willing to bring from all manner of work, which the LORD had commanded to be made by the hand of Moses.” Exodus 35:29

I love this verse because it shows the people of God working in unison to do a project that God has asked them to accomplish. Moses told them that God wanted them to build Him a tabernacle so that He could dwell among them. And they gave and gave to see it take place. How was this possible? They were living in the desert. They were unsure when they would reach the promise land. Some may have thought I need to keep my possessions to buy my new home. But the scripture tells us in Exodus 35:21 that the Spirit of God made them willing to do this sacrifice in order to honor God.

In June a team of over 40 people came from Hallmark Baptist in Texas and Oak Hill Baptist in Kentucky to dedicate the Valerye McMillan Hope High School property and to see the new construction of the Injili Baptist Church auditorium. We thank Bruce ONeal and Kent McMillan from MANNA Worldwide for organizing this trip. We thank the team for doing a tremendous job of showing love to our Kenyan people.

The church’s foundation is finished and the walls are going up. We praise God for the miracle taking place in the village of Majaoni, but I ask you to continue to pray and give to this project.

The construction estimate last year was $60,000 to build this 1000 seat auditorium but without promised support we are building and then stopping till more money is given. Due to increase in building materials and other factors, we are now told that it will take an additional $40,000 to complete which raises the total to $100,000. This seems like a huge amount of money ($60,000 more) but I know that God is able and His Spirit will touch a church or some individuals. This building will be completed and filled with people one day. Would you pray and ask God what you can do personally to help?

In our last prayer letter, I ask you to pray for David. He accepted Jesus as his Savior a few days later. Praise the Lord for the joy of seeing people come to His Son.

We have returned to Kenya after our furlough time in the states. Our adoption was completed on June 14th and we were able to get Dylan’s passport. It was a miracle from God that we were able to get everything in order as quickly as we did. Thank you to everyone who has prayed us through this adoption process. God has blessed us with 3 wonderful boys. Our family is truly “God-made.”

I want to thank all the wonderful people who are allowing the Spirit of God to lead them to give to missions. There is a great task all over the world but progress is being made. God is working and people are being saved. Thanks for the sacrifices you are making to keep us on the field in Kenya, Africa.

Till the whole world knows Christ,
Bobby Lisa Ethan Conner & Dylan Bechtel
