Classes, Travel and Craziness

Tomorrow Kyle will wrap up the last in the three weeks of water technologies courses. It has been a good time and exhausting all at once.

Pray for us as we are entering a really crazy time of travel and family life. I (Jessica) will be heading to a conference next week. Then Kyle will be gone for a couple of days the following week at a conference. We'll be around home for just a couple of very full days after that and then Kyle heads to Kenya.

Pour on the prayers, will ya?

Sorry for the brevity. I've got a wee girl with the sniffles and apparently dishes don't wash themselves. Ummm, someone wanna work on that for me?

Prayer Needs:

• Energy to prepare for the upcoming travel and work ahead
• Patience and love toward one another during this time. 
• Open lines of communication as husband and wife and as we parent through an unusual season
• Millie while I am away and then while Kyle is away for an extended period.

Fall Courses

This is a really busy time of year around Equip. We've already had a few weeks of courses and this week begins the first week of the three week water technologies course series. Kyle will be super busy with assisting in the instructing for these courses.

This week is the water filtration course. You might remember that back in the Spring we actually had a student come to know Christ through this course. Pray that our students would be encouraged and that if any of them don't know Jesus that they would be confronted with the truth of the Gospel and that their hearts would be softened to embrace Him.

Next week will be an especially long one because it is well drilling which means long days in order to get all of the instruction done.

It is a great time of year and we're so blessed to be here doing this work. Thanks for all the love and support! 

Prayer Needs:

• Pray for our students to be encouraged and fully equipped physically and spiritually for the field. 
• Pray for our staff of instructors to communicate clearly.
• Pray for our family as we work to stay flexible and love one another well.

East Africa Here He Comes!

Hi friends and family,

Well, after all of the on again off again Kyle finally has a ticket and itinerary for his November trip to Kenya! Everyone say "YAY!" and then immediately begin to pray for his safety and ministry while he will be in country.

Many of you may be wondering what Millie and I will be up to during Kyle's three week absence. Well, for the first part we will be around home sticking to normal stuff and trying to get a jump on the holiday madness. Then we'll make our rounds for some visits to family and friends.

Kyle arrives back just before Thanksgiving so we've arranged for him to fly back into a city near our family so that we can stay and celebrate the holiday together.

The time between now and when he heads to Kenya is going to be crazy with a side of crazy. Fall water technologies courses start in less than two weeks and then we have a few random events and things on the agenda for the latter part of October- including our 8th anniversary! Woah!

Then to Kenya Kyle goes- I have to try and keep my jealousy down. Although I am not currently jealous of the immunizations and oral typhoid vaccine that he is taking.

Thanks for the way you love our family and how you invest in us. Keep the love and prayers coming!

Weekly Prayer Need:

• Pray for us as we prepare for a very busy season. 
• Pray for additional supporters to join our team. 
• Pray for Kyle as he works out the details of his trip.
