Dear Prayer Partners,
We are taking the opportunity to send you a “Special
Edition” of our newsletter. We have chosen to highlight
four wonderful project opportunities. First above all
else we need your prayers then we are requesting that
feet be given to those prayers to get the work done.

God has given us the desire to build and run a Christian
high school here on the coast of Kenya. MANNA Worldwide
has agreed to build the actual school buildings if we
are able to purchase the 2 acres of land needed. We have
located the land and made an agreement to buy it. We
have had success in raising funds but we still need
$14,000 to complete the transaction. We have till the
end of June. Please pray that God will provide the
monies needed to buy this land.

Injili (Gospel) Baptist Church needs to have a larger
church building. This was the church that we helped to
start in 2005. The church is now seeing over 400 people
come through their doors each week and can not fit any
more into their building. We believe that God could grow
this church to 1000 people in the next two years. We
hope to help Pastor Allan Owano and his wife Eve to
reach their goal of reaching the villages of Majaoni,
Utange, and Shanzu with the Gospel. The approximate cost
to build a larger more modern church will be $60,000.
Will you give to help them grow spiritually and
numerically? |

We have been praying about starting a new church plant.
God has identified a man named Alex who is a senior in
our Bible institute. He will be graduating in June 2009
and desperately wants to be used by God to do His work
here on the coast. We are asking God to allow us to send
him to Kilifi town to start a new church. We want to
raise $25,000 to purchase land and start a building
project for him by November 2009. Please pray that God
will allow us to start our fourth church here in Kenya.

The ministry here in Kenya needs to purchase a large van
to use to transport children, teens and adults. It will
be used for church and school activities. It will help
us to enlarge our school program to bring in paying
students which will allow us to make our school more
self-sufficient. We are trusting God to provide $35,000
to purchase this vehicle.

As you read this letter, we know that you are thinking
that these projects will cost a lot of money. But we
know that our God owns the cattle on a thousand hills
and the wealth in every mine. We know that He wants to
see people come to know His Son, Jesus Christ, as their
Savior. We know that He will provide. The real question
shouldn’t be “Is God going to provide?” but it should be
“When will God provide?” We ask you to pray and allow
God to use you to reach others with the wonderful
message of His salvation through Jesus. Bobby Lisa Ethan & Conner Bechtel
