The church without walls that meets near the ancient Baobab tree is thriving.
Our friends and missionaries in Kenya have received an update from Pastor John in Tharaka! The area is so remote, it is difficult to communicate. Sometimes they send notes by way of someone who is travelling that way and they simply don’t arrive.
All the medical patients we treated are doing well – they are improving and moving forward. He also reported that they’ve had 11 adults and 12 children to join the new church since the team and the Associational Leadership is still working on follow up. 
Please continue to pray for them as the Association works to organize themselves to meet the needs of those in the area. This is a new concept for them! Pray for them to realize that they have the ability to do many things without a lot of outside help as this is what will continue to grow the work in the area long after we are gone.
The rainy season is approaching and the Tharaka Association has seen it necessary to put up a shelter under the tree in Gankamba so the church can continue to meet despite the rain (that they hope will come). They are doing a fund-raiser for the whole Association on Nov. 1. Please pray for the church in Gankamba. Pray that God shows favor on each believer. Pray they will continue to be a bold witness and God will soften the heart of each person who hears the gospel and they will believe. Pray that this group of 45 will reach the 450,000 in the Thorakland District.
Thank you for your continued prayer support.
