In a few da
ys, Gabe Hedman and Clint Decker will be boarding their plane to Kenya. We want to share how you can pray for them, by giving you their schedule and offering some prayer requests.
Urgent prayer request
Before laying out their schedule, they have an immediate need of over $3,000 before they fly out. This is the remaining amount of their budget to cover expenses like food, travel and lodging while they are in Kenya, as well as providing the final amount needed for all the teaching and evangelistic outreaches. Please pray for God to raise up His people to give. If you would like to assist you can give a secure online gift here , or mail one to this address here.
Psalm 23:1 says, “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.” And I add, “nor shall I worry.” As we seek Christ, we know that through Him He will provide for all our needs. Gabe and I are trusting in our Lord fully.
