Hello to you brothers.

Thanks again for your prayers. It is always encouraging to know that there are people out there laboring in prayer for us over here.

1. The church building construction work is progressing well. Currently at lintel level. How we hope that we will be able to celebrate 1st January 2010 in it. Already it has proved to be a center of disbursing the gospel to the workers on the ground. Additionally, quite a number of the construction crew join us for service every Sunday. Do pray for their souls.

2. I have just finished preaching through Zechariah and I want to thank God for leading me faithfully through this book. Pray that its effect will last a long time in the hearts and ears of the hearers

3. The University ministry resumed this month after a long time of semester break. We thank God for a few first year students who have joined the study group. They replaced the fourth year students who finished in May. Pray for conversions. Pray that our recruitment drive for more to attend will be blessed of the Lord and bring these students within the ear shot of the gospel.

4. The church elders visit the "Oyugis" church plant work every month. Pray for clear direction from the Lord in this and for souls to be saved. Previously we have been going on Thursday (once a month), but we realized that it is not easy to get people to come for the Bible study because they are busy at their work places. We have changed to Saturday.

5. Pray for the coming events:

  • Evangelistic meeting for couples ("Dine and listen") in a hotel in town. Pray for attendance, preaching and conversions.
  • Evangelistic "Dine and Listen at Maseno University." The date is yet to be set.
  • Conference for men 26th-30th in October.
  • Association meeting 9th-10-09.
  • Youth rally 7th-11th in December.

6. Our children are back to school. Pray for godliness in their lives even at school. Daddy celebrated his birthday on 25th Sept.

7. There are high chances of me embarking on my Masters degree early next year. This is a program that is tailor-made for working people so that it won't interfere with their work. The program calls for only 2 weeks of residence lectures per year. The rest are research based. The college is "Nairobi Evangelical Graduate School of Theology" (NEGST). Pray for availability of funds for this. The entire three-year period of the course requires USD 7500, which includes many other things. The course is MA Organizational Leadership (Christian Organizational Leadership).

Yours,

Sam O.
