Promotion to Glory

Dear Friends

This week has been a hard week for our staff and missionaries here in Nairobi, we have had two of our missionaries go home to be with our Lord.

Last Saturday we were hit with the news of a tragic place crash here in the city, news came that our pilot Frank Toews died in the accident, our aircraft mechanic Ryan Williams that was along for the ride was severely injured, broken hip and severe burns. Two passengers amazingly made it through with mild injuries and are doing well.

All week we have come together to support these two families, the Toews and the Williams, we have been blessed with a community here that is strong and has come together in this time of need.

Today we received word that Ryan Williams succumbed to his injuries and went home to be with our Lord as well. It is a hard day, Ryan was a good man, that loved his service for the Lord and had a young family, a deacon in the church here...and a crazy singing voice! He will be missed tremendously. Even from this short time getting to know him, and being around the hangar, it will be changed.

I write today and ask for prayer, for all our Kenyan staff, for our missionaries, for the Williams family and continued prayers for the Toews family, they each have four children. There is a memorial service on Tuesday for Frank, possible Thursday will be Ryan's. The extended family for their travels here, some have made it already some on are their way this weekend. Pray for all the friends and the ministries that these guys were a part of and how they will be missed.

Continue to pray for the passengers that were injured in the crash, that they will be able to see God in this, for their story www.giveadamndoc.com, that their lives will be changed. Rob, who is an unbeliever is going home to St. Louis today. The other passenger is still in hospital, should be released soon. They have and will continue to be blessed by God in their journey.

I ask for prayer, I have joined the crisis team, my capacity sees everything, including testimonies of the investigation, it is a hard time to process two deaths and learn how, I ask that I will be the one that is supportive as well to those that were really close to these guys, that God will grant me strength.

Praise God that these men gave their hearts to God, and their lives, a true meaning of laying your life down for God. These men are now in rejoicing in glory, oh what a glorious day it is!

Thank you all for your prayers!
