November 13, 1985
Hope this newsletter finds
that you have been blessed as we have in the past months. We continue
to get more excited as the time approaches for our departure. Leaving on
the 20th of November only gives us a few days to make all the necessary
arrangements.
Our trip north was a great
addition to the necessary preparation to go to Kenya. We were able to visit
with many of you, and raise more of the support necessary to keep the Lord's
work going. You will always be in our prayers even as we are separated
by thousands of miles.
All of the needed monthly
support has now been raised. $1,000.00 is all the one time support
that is still needed. Our crate of household needs is on its way
to Kenya at a fraction of the expected cost. Fraley's Chapel, our
sponsoring congregation, has been an enormous help with their physical,
moral and spiritual support. The Lord works to make His church prosper,
if we work with Him.
Just a short reminder that
all support would be greatly appreciated if mailed so that it will reach
Fraley's Chapel by the first of each month. This is necessary because
of the delay in mailing overseas. Once again we thank you for supporting
us while here in the states. This made it possible to purchase
many needed articles.
Last month included in the newsletter was the address that all support
should be sent to. I will enclose it once again for any who may have
misplaced it.
Fraley's Chapel Church of Christ

Enclosed now is our personal
address in Kenya. This is not for support, but for any personal correspondence
that you would like to send.

Stacy and I are looking
forward to finally being able to get into the Lord's work in Kenya.
It will be a very pleasant change from raising support and planning for
the future. Continue to pray for us as we approach a totally different
part of our efforts to serve the Lord among the Luo people of Kenya.
Our next newsletter may
not be sent out for two or three months. We will be involved with
language learning, and not able to write while doing this. Until
our next letter we pray that the Lord will continue to bless you.
In Christian Service,
Barry and Stacy Rosie
