Northeastern

Tristan and Daddy on the road in Northeastern Province


Tristan and I have just returned from a trip to Garissa and Dadaab, where we were following up on the ministry projects we had met with at a few weeks ago. We also had our friend, Kyle Davis, join us on the journey. Kyle directs the work of Evangelism Explosion in East Africa. It was fun to have him along and to be able to share with him our work first hand. Tristan and I had fun sleeping out together and eating lots of goat with our Somali friends. I think Tristan ate more goat than any of us -- he's a real carnivor :) !


In Prayer:

Please pray for the spirits of the Raya camel herdsmen. A mysterious illness has taken the life of another female. We saw the dead camel which looked well fed and strong. The herdsman have another female that is also sick. We helped with getting a veterinarian out to the herd (Which has fallen nearly to half its original size from disease). We pray that the herd will bounce back and that God will protect them from illness.

I never expected that I would find myself praying for camels! I do realize this is a very serious situation and I pray God will intervene and save the camel project in which the Wards and others have invested so much time and energy.

Dear Linda,

Thank you so much for praying for us, Somali ministry and even the camels! We are blessed to have such wonderful prayer support!!!!!

A huge praise -- we found an apartment of our own. We had been looking for a house to rent, but the Lord has provided us with a very secure and affordable apartment near Malcolm and Patty Card's apartment in Westlands.

God Bless,
Aaron & Erica
