Shalom and blessings;
Ellen and I have arrived in Kenya safely, praise God (B'H). Our flight always takes us through Ethiopia where we have a 90 minute layover. Ethiopian coffee, at least the one we get from a little café at the airport, is delicious, so the stopover and wait almost makes it worth the while; there's no direct flight from Israel to Kenya. We're looking forward to having Erev Shabbat at the home of an elder couple from the Nairobi congregation, and then participating in the services at the congregation on Shabbat.
I didn't waste any time contacting the Pastor who we've been dealing with concerning the possibility of having rooms at their church for our services and Bible studies. Please pray that we'll find favor with all the decision makers and a space will be provided quickly.
Election smoke has cleared in Israel, and just as predicted we're right back where we started; no clear-cut winner. With the results in, neither one of the main parties have enough seats to form a government. I doubt very much that the population would stand for another election; it probably wouldn't change anything anyway, so I'm expecting some major negotiations and jostling to take place between all the parties. Hopefully they'll be able to put their differences' aside and do what is best for the people and the country. One thing we can be sure of, the outcome was no surprise to God. For whatever purpose He has allowed this result, His Will be done.
Sunday, God Willing, we'll be embarking on the 8 hour journey to visit and minister at the congregation and orphanage in Migori. We look so forward to seeing everyone again especially the children. Thank you so much for your prayers and financial support, without being here personally, you can't totally appreciate how you have been a blessing. Speaking of that, Ellen and I have been praying about organizing a tour to Kenya so that you could meet the believers here. If that is something that would interest you, please let us know and we will look into it further.
I've attached this week's Parasha, trust it will be a blessing to you. Please feel free to share the teachings and our blog address with anyone you think may be blessed by it.
