Thank you for continuing to pray for the work here.

Please pray for he security issues in and around our house. In the last weeks there have been several home invasion robberies. Gangs of up to 20 people have invaded local compounds, beaten the guards and in at least two cases killed the guards. As the inflation continues to rise there is more and more of this activity. Now many of the young people in our community are living in fear because the police typically round up suspects and shoot them to end crime waves. Please pray there would be repentance and Jesus would call people to himself through all this.

Dear Friends,

Thank you for praying through the Dulos conference. All three days were highly blessed. There will be fruit from this conference for years to come. Many people are already asking about the next one and we are praying about that now. Wow!

Please pray as we begin setting things up for Brenten, our intern to arrive in May. He is planning, praying and preparing and we ask you to join in with him that his time here would be fruitful for the call God has on him as well as ministry into the Kenyans he will be working with.

This may sound a little “unspiritual” considering 1-Cor 9:25 but we ask for prayer for Jackson as he competes in field hockey. He and the team are improving and they want to be a witness to the mostly secular and Hindu schools they compete against.

Finally, please pray with us for Haley as she works and prays through an opportunity to spend her summer in Peru on mission with Intervarsity. There are a number of variables and she is seeking God for guidance to His perfect will.

Blessings!

Dear Friends,

Thank you for continuing to pray for us and the work here in Githurai. God continues to bless, we continue to see His hand at work and we rejoice as we begin another year together with Him and you.

Please pray thanksgiving as Calvary International Fellowship enjoys meeting in the metal building. Please continue to pray as the toilets are completed and we can relegate the outhouses to a thing of the past! Please pray with us as we seek God and His desire for a new Community Group (home study) on the 44 side of Githurai.

Please pray as we plan and prepare for what we are calling the Dulos conference. Please pray as Calvary International Fellowship will host pastors and leaders for this special gathering in February and that the exercise in holding the three day conference will in itself build servant leaders.

Finally, please pray Haley can find just the right job as she begins her second term at UCSB. She has had some interviews and such, but nothing is firm so it would bring peace to mom knowing people are praying her through this part of her re-entry to America.

Shalom!

Ed

Calvary International Fellowship: Prayer Update...

Calvary International Fellowship: Trafffic in Kenya

Compean Missionary Page

Dear Friends,

I’m taking a break from preparing for Sunday’s Christmas message and am just filled with the miracle of God becoming flesh. I could go on and on,and probably will on Sunday morning. Please take a moment to dwell on the greatest miracle, that God became flesh to dwell among His fallen creation, to live a perfect life, die a perfect death in place of His creation and rise again so His creation can rise again. That is a worth dwelling on in the holiday lines. Let us be as those wise men and come to worship.

Please pray as Calvary International Fellowship gathers for a Christmas celebration. Please pray as construction continues and Lord willing we’ll have our first service inside the iron sheet building this Sunday, it is our Christmas present!

Please pray as the CIF youth hold a Christmas outreach on the 24th at a local children’s home. They raised almost Kshs3000 to buy some clothes and food for the orphans.

Heri Krismasi ni Mungu Akubariki,

Dear Friends,

Thank you for continuing to pray for us and this work.

Please pray as we look into all God has for us in 2010. Please pray as Haley flies home for her Christmas break. Please pray as we try to show Jesus is the reason for this season.

Please pray with us as we prepare to host a Dulos conference in February. Please pray there would be sensitivity but not compromise as visitors teach biblical truths across deep cultural divides.

Finally, please continue to pray as completion of the children’s building and the temporary adult hall is in full swing and looking to completed soon after the New Year.

Blessings!

Calvary International Fellowship: Uttermost is Coming...

Pastor Bruce Zachary from CC Camarillo prays with Ed over Murigi Kariuki as he is installed as a new associate pastor at CIF.

Calvary International Fellowship is blessed that God gave gifts of elders to help shepherd the body He has been adding to in Githurai. Daniel Musyoka and Murigi Kariuki are CIF's newest associate pastors that will help Ed in the work of feeding and loving the sheep.

Daniel, Jen and the whole family pose for pictures after the installation service at CIF.
