CBF of Missouri trip to Kenya

CBF of Missouri made their 2nd trip to eastern Kenya in 2 years. Rand Swanigan and Melissa Hatfield with First Baptist Church of Jefferson City were with this group. Rand, who is my brother-in-law, made some observations in the following blog: First Baptist Church Missions blog. I told him before he left that it would be life changing.

Transition for Orphans

Scott Collin's Blog Entry #2. I just finished reading this blog entry and what's been put in place in Russia is what we want to help out in Kitale, Kenya. We saw a number of teenage children who in a few years would be leaving the "Seed of Hope" orphanage. We're not certain exactly the form it's going to take, but we have started fund raising for it. Everything must have a name and so we're calling this REACH for Realizing Education And Career Hopes. Be in prayer for direction.

Scott Collins on a Shoe Trip to Russia

I read on Ken Hall's, the President of Buckner, blog about one of the many "Shoes for Orphan Souls" trips Buckner makes around the world. This one was in Russia and Scott Collins, a participant, was the guest blogger. Scott, as you remember, spoke at our church in November 2007. You may also remember that he is a "Show Me" guy, growing up in Moberly. Make sure and read all of his entries at:
