Neil is leaving Sunday, August 3, 2025, for 2 weeks in Kenya, where he will teach at 2 pastors' conferences: one near Mombasa and the other in Nairobi. Please pray:
1. Safe travel with good connections. Neil and Francis (Neil's interpreter & pastoral leader) need train tickets from Nairobi to the Mombasa area and ground transportation when they arrive.
2. Health and rest. Neil has had a skin rash since January that keeps him awake at night. The best allergy clinic in the Upper Midwest could not detect allergies, and its tests for deeper trouble did not turn up the cause. God knows the root cause. Please pray for Neil's healing so that he can get the rest he needs.
3. Invite the Holy Spirit. Ask the Lord to fill pastors' hearts with His presence, give their minds clarity to focus on the teachings, a fresh determination to obey His Word, trust in the Lord's provision, and the joy of the Lord to strengthen them.
4. For peace in Kenya. Riots broke out in Kenya's major cities just two weeks ago. Over 200 people were killed when police used live ammunition to disperse the mobs. Although the rioting ceased, the unrest is still festering. Please pray for Jesus, the Prince of Peace, to visit Kenya with His peace that passes all understanding as Jesus draws people to forgiveness and reconciliation.
