The Sharing Way is contributing emergency relief funds to help our national partners in addressing urgent internal refugee needs.

Today Erica and I had the pleasure of joining our fellow Canadian Baptist team mates for a meeting with Dr. Gary Nelson, the General Secretary of Canadian Baptist Ministries. Gary had been planning to come to Kenya for Sharing Way meetings before the outbreak of conflict, but even after his original meetings were cancelled he decided to come anyway to encourage our team and to support our national partners. It was good to be able to discuss our experiences of the past three weeks and to consider our options and strategies for further life and ministry here in Kenya. We left the meeting thankful for the wonderful support and concern that we've experienced from CBM. We will be seeing more of Gary as he comes to visit our entire family tomorrow. We will no longer be taking him into Northeastern province during this visit. Our entire team will be staying in close contact over the coming weeks.
