Pressing on Toward the Goal

"Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus."

---PHILIPPIANS 3:12-14


Praises:

• Another successful day of construction on Tumaini children’s home, and no injuries (only sore muscles and joints).
• Relationship building w/locals that happened as a result of people on our team doing construction.
• The Massai chief who just came to Jesus went to church last Sunday, and he wants to be baptized!
• We ran another successful clinic today out at Engikaret. It was a mobile clinic out at a Methodist church in the bush. So many beautiful women and children!

Lifting up:

• The possibility of showing the Jesus video in Massai land, in their native tongue, Ma.
• I feel a bit in a slump right now, as I’m super low on energy, don’t feel well, and am pretty homesick.
