January 2021 Update from Abel and Sarah

Praise God for Jesus' birth, life, death, and resurrection so that we can have this eternal hope, this reconciliation that is found only in Jesus Christ!
We are, as an organization, beginning the process of defining a relationship with a group of colleges in Africa to see how our family can help their teachers/professors develop their own curriculum to teach. We may be going to a particular college in Kenya to help them to feel more confident in their role to teach and train the church leaders of the future.
This time of defining the relationship is really important, and difficult, as there needs to be a lot of clarity while working through expectations. Please be praying for clarity in communicating. We have also gone into a situation like this in the past and been very hurt as a family, so we have some hesitation personally and need to trust the Lord to care for us and use us as He sees fit. Please be praying for us to be full of faith in stepping into whatever role that the Lord provides.
"Wait, but I thought you were going to go back into Tanzania as a business?"
Great question...yes is the answer. However, we feel that the business in Tanzania can be established while we are in Kenya working to help equip the Body there. Taking the time to set up the business, instead of rushing it through just so we can be back in the country, is the result of some sage advice we are following.
We also have a few books being published hopefully before March. It has been a lot of work, but the team has been working together well. Please pray for continued unity. Please also pray for the folks that will get the books, that they will be blessed, and that the Lord would use them to grow His kingdom as they interact with the Word of God and teach others His Truth.
Please be praying with us as we are hoping to head back to East Africa towards the end of March.
We thank and praise the Lord for each of you. Thank you for your prayers. We love you.
