Message from Rick Shaw

Fellow class members:



Vincent Moyaka, the children’s minister with whom we worked while in Kenya, has a dream, i.e. to attend Wayland Baptist University in Kenya. He has spoken with me about this. We have prayed together. David and I have discussed this, as well.



Each of you knows the tremendous value of education; many of you recognize the value of education in the developing world.



In order for Vincent to be admitted to WBU-Kenya, he must take the SAT examination. The cost of that in Kenya is 5000 KSH (approximately $74.02 at the current conversion rate).



I realize this request is above that of the teacher we discussed Sunday. If you feel led to help Vincent with this test fee, please contact me. Thank you for your compassion.



Christ’s power



Rick

Update August 7, 2008

This Sunday we will continue our study of women in the Bible. We will be in the New Testament (finally!) looking at Mary, the mother of Jesus. Scripture readings are taken from Luke 1-2 and John 19:25-27. We are nearing the end of our study, so be thinking about what you would like us to examine next.

The following Sunday (August 17), our class has been asked to provide side dishes and cook hamburgers on the grill for the university students after the worship service. We will be in the pavilion, so you might want to bring some shorts to change into! We will discuss the details next Sunday.
