TABITHA MINISTRY CONTINUES TO THRIVE

It has been a delight to travel in the States this year of Home Ministry Assignment and share about the great things God has done through the Tabitha Bible Study Ministry.  Many stories have been shared, and Christ has been lifted up as partners have heard about changed lives, changed families, and communities being transformed through the study of God’s Word and the related compassionate outreaches of Tabitha.

 Meanwhile, the ministry keeps going strong in Kenya, under the leadership of Peris Rotich and Julie Ganey.  They are pictured here (Peris in red on the stairs and Julie, the younger missionary) with most of our top twenty center leaders last July before I left.  Julie has written studies on Genesis this past year, with Peris translating, and these studies are being used in over 250 Bible studies under the leadership of these women, and those under them.  Praise God for His Word that is being faithfully studied and taught!

As the Bible studies spread, new leaders are enlisted and training is needed.  I am thrilled that Julie and Peris and team have traveled to six of our ten centers to do training workshops for the leaders.  Pray for these leaders to really take hold of Jesus and of His Word, and grow in being able to teach others.

 And new members are joining new and old studies.  One thousand more women have earned their Bibles over these past nine months!  Praise the Lord! Peris is pictured above instructing nearly two hundred women who received their Bibles in a newer area in December.

 

Continue to pray for Julie and Peris and other leaders, like Mercy, pictured here with Peris, who are key to Tabitha Ministry. I look forward to returning to Kenya in August and rejoining all that the Lord is doing there.
