Kenya 2008 Update

Well today's the day! This afternoon at 3pm EDT we begin our trek to Kenya through next Tuesday, then on to a sensitive area of the world where we will visit with "like minded people". I will be traveling with our friend Dave Johnson and will be ministering to pastors affiliated with the Annual Masai Convention we will also be a part of again in December of this year. Pam and Lynne are not going this time around but are hold down the fort.

Please cover us in prayer for the following:
1. Of course, traveling mercy. Enough said there!

2. Of course that our bodies will adjust quickly to the time zone changes. We will have limited time in the countries we are going to so we don't want to have to deal with several days of jet lag while trying to minister.

3. Pray for us that God will reveal HIS plan for this next season in God for us. Some unusual things have developed in the last several weeks that show Pam and I a shift in emphasis and direction for us in the coming months. Pray that God will reveal the complete plan He has.

4. Most of all, pray for a harvest of souls. This is the most important one. This is why we are going. I have been burdened for the lost and backslider more in the last two weeks that I have in years. Not that I haven't had a burden for the lost up till now…it's just intensifying… the hour is so late and there is an urgency in my Spirit to finish strong!

Pam will be keeping you who are on our partner email list updated by email this trip. I will have to relay messages to her and then she will forward them to you all because I do not have everyone's email address on my webmail account. I know you will enjoy hearing from her. Also, our communications from a very sensitive part of the world we are going to after Kenya will need to be interpreted because….it's sensitive. I will attempt to keep you updated here on our blog and will have a full report when we will return to the States on September 5 and begin a very busy Fall season!

Thanks to everyone who gave a special offering for this trip. We will also be going back in December so if you would like to support the December convention we will give you that opportunity to do so. Any time someone on a national level gets in trouble it effects smaller ministries like ours. I thank all of our partners who stand with us and believe in what God has called us to do!

We love you all and appreciate your faithful support! And thank you for allowing us to be your missionaries to the nations!

Love,
David & Pam Copeland
