Seeking God's Peace in Africa

Dear Friends and family,

It is amazing to think but in 6 weeks and 3 days we will be on our way to Congo! Our tickets and evacuation insurance are purchased and now we are trying to make sure we get the rest of our lives in order.

Last week we returned from visiting supporters in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan—So far we have met face to face with more than 90% of our supporters! It has been tiring, but fantastic to share our stories God’s blessing over our last two years, and to share our calling for what lies ahead. We have shown pictures and told stories, but in this email, I wanted to give you a chance to see footage of ELI’s work that was taken during my last visit to Kenya and Congo in July by Profiles in Caring, a group that highlights the work of ministries all over the world.

Would you take some time to view it? I have included links below showing specific footage from our home in Kipkaren and our future home in Bukavu.

Also, would you pray about our finances? This is not the best time in history to be fundraising, and we are aware of that. We also want to make clear that for those who made a 2 year pledge commitment in 2006, that you are released from that if you wish. We know there are all sorts of financial troubles out there, and we understand if this is not an area you can give to, or if the current market makes your contribution a burden on you. We will still be friends and God will still provide for us J

So that’s it. I tried to keep this short, hoping you will follow some of the links below,

Thank you again for your faithfulness and support.

God Bless,

Davis

Please take some time to watch some ELI footage on GoodTube. I would especially recommend you scroll down on the left side and watch Part 4 and 5 to see footage from Kipkaren and of my former students. Part 5 and 6 has footage of Congo and the school I will be serving in.
