Prayer Letter 1

Below is the first prayer letter we sent out.

Dear Friends,

                 This summer God unexpectedly provided us with an opportunity to share His good news in Kenya. With Curt in graduate school as a 12 month graduate assistant, we thought we would never have the time to spare for a missions trip during the summer. God works in very unexpected ways! In February, one of the deacons at our church, mentioned that he and a couple other chiropractors would be going to Kenya and they were looking for someone to go along to help. Specifically he was looking for someone to share the gospel. We didn’t think much about it.  With Curt in seminary we never dreamed it would work to go ourselves! The next Sunday Dr. Popwell again mentioned the need. 

We decided to check the dates for the trip and unbelievably when we checked our available time off, the trip worked with one day to spare! After meeting with Dr. Popwell everything was decided and we booked our plane tickets to Kenya!

We are incredibly excited to be able to share the gospel in Africa this summer.  Working in the jail ministry we’ve seen the power of the gospel change lives. We can’t wait to see that happen in Kenya as well.

One lesson that has become very evident through the jail ministry at our church is the need for prayer support. We could go over to Kenya and do our very best to share the Gospel and help, but unless God’s Holy Spirit works in the hearts of those we share the gospel with it will be worthless.  Psalm 65
addresses God as “Thou that hearest prayers” before going on to describe God’s work. We covet your prayer support.

If you would be willing to support us through prayer or financially, or both please let us know. We are looking to raise approxiamately $5,000. Our church will assist with about 1/4 of the cost, but we are trusting the Lord to provide the rest. We will be sure to send trip updates as we prepare, as well as a report of how the trip went!

Sincerely,

Curt & Christy Doucette
