Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

        I wonder how and what our Luo brothers and sisters are doing right now.  We are happy to be visiting with you all just now, but we can't help feeling so far away from the work of the Lord in South Nyanza.  They need our daily prayers.  That is the very best thing all of us can do for them until we can return to Kenya.  Please keep up your prayers.  Barry, Kit and I are really missing Kenya.  Pray for us too!
        We have traveled safely from Canada to Florida and over to Mississippi.  On the 16th of this month we head up to Tennessee, then, over to Arkansas and finally on to Abilene, Texas.  In Abilene, Barry and I will attend our first Mission Seminar.  We feel very blessed to have received $1,800 in scholarships to enable us to study for the summer and to sharpen and expand our mission skills.
        In this newsletter we want to ask you to send up some very special prayers for our co-workers, the Lawrence Barr family.  In January of this year they made the very difficult decision to return to the States permanently.  And now they are in the midst of preparing to leave Kenya where they have worked for the last 15 years.  We will miss them.
When Barry and I return to Kenya in September we will be working alone among one million people.  If you are reading this newsletter, and are interested in joining us on the field, or have any ideas about helping the work in another way, please contact Jim Brown at Fraley's Chapel.  He can forward your message on to us.
        So. . . we have lots of prayer requests this month:

        1)  Pray for the Luo Christians.
        2)  Pray for the Barr family as they prepare to return
             to the States, and
        3)  Pray for the Lord to send more workers to harvest among
             the Luo people.

        Thank you!
        If we haven't seen you yet, we are looking forward to seeing you soon.

                                                                                                    For Jesus Christ,
 

                                                                                                    Barry, Stacy and Kit Rosie
