Reaching the World

First I want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH to the those who have supported this project and the Madory family so far. 

I hope you know how appreciative I am to those who have given and some sacrificed in times when I know for a lot of us there isn't just a surplus of money hanging around!  I wanted to give you an update and also ask for those who have not yet gotten involved to please consider doing so. Any amount is welcomed! 

The Madory’s have been given 3,000 Bibles, 2 Million gospel tracks and a bunch of ministry supplies to take back to Kenya and to be used to reach the people like these....



to further the gospel half way around the world in Nairobi, Kenya


to help people come to know Jesus as their personal Saviour - To Rejoice in Him and walk in newness of life!



Their goal was to ship a container with these ministry supplies when they go back to Kenya. In order to do that they need all the money pledged by June 19th so time is running out!! They will be leaving to go back to Kenya at the end of July. If you as an individual or a church would be willing to help with this please contact me or the Madory’s. I provided the mailing information at the end of this post. If you would like a charitable donation receipt, just send a note with the check and one will be provided to you. 

Right around $5500 has been given/pledged so far and the final goal is $12,000 so we are almost half way there! 

I was with the Madory’s this weekend and was again refreshed and excited to see all that God is doing and the opportunities He seems to be presenting daily to help reach the people of Kenya with the gospel of Jesus Christ! I would also like to share how much I appreciate the attitude of the Madory's toward their calling. They love the life and ministry God has given them in Africa and any one who has spent any time with them can attest to that. They work through challenges with much prayer as they come and give the glory to God for the victories and sometimes every day is a victory over there! I cannot tell you how excited I am to be a part of this project and ministry!!  I hope you will really consider it too. I am looking forward to writing the post that tells how God provided for this project through the prayers and financial support of people and churches just like you who were willing to be a part!


All donations and support is sent to their sending church which acts as their mission board / clearing house. Any checks should be written to: Southwest Baptist Church and then memo the check or attach a note designating it to the Madory's container.  
The mailing address is:
Southwest Baptist Church
Attn: Denny Madory
1300 SW 54th Street
Oklahoma City, OK 73119

In Anticipation,
Sarah

Ours For A Little While, With Jesus Forever

Image
Today my little brother, David, would have turned 24 years old. It's hard to believe it's been almost 10 years now since he went home to be with Jesus. But at the same time it seems like a lifetime ago. I was thinking about it today and what life would be like if that had not happened....and I truly can not imagine it. Just as at the time I could not imagine life without him, I can not imagine him here in this time. I can not imagine what kind of person he would be or even who I would be today because losing him and going through that changed my life and my family so much. I'm still thankful to God for bringing us through and that he continues to sustain us. I've been working on a long well thought out post for the last...ohhh...two years about him and going through that time of loss. It's still not quite complete. Maybe it never will be, because from year to year what I would say changes and I just keep editing... But I decided that even without all the

Welcome Home

Well just one week from right now, I will be aboard a plane somewhere between here and Kenya ! I can't believe that the time has actually come! And boy did it come fast!! No, I am not packed... But the suitcases are here... Waiting... The laundry is being done... And the living room, kitchen and bathrooms are... clean!! How does that help? Well, I always enjoy coming home to a clean house even if I’m just gone a few days. So this will be even better!! When I got home from work last night, I put my key in the lock and walked into my house expecting to find it as I left it that morning: Dark, unvacuumed, pile of work sweaters in the recliner, basket of unfolded clothes on ottoman, mail on the tv tray, and several stray pairs of shoes waiting for me to trip over them. But to my great SURPRISE (I jumped a little lol) and DELIGHT the blinds were open, the smell of autumn was in the air (compliments of the many burning candles) the floor was vacuumed, clothes put in the bedroom,

I Am the Water

Image
I was at the sink emptying my water bottle the other morning so I could fill it up with cold, fresh, clean new water. I have this habit of filling a bottle of water, taking a couple drinks, then leaving it there for a couple of days before pouring it out and starting all over again. I usually have a couple of different beverages going at my desk. A bottle of water, a cup of coffee, maybe some juice or a leftover cup from yesterday's lunch.  So as I was emptying the water and it seemed like it wasn't pouring out quite fast enough for me because it was so full - it struck me what a waste it was. Many people in the world have no clean drinking water and here I am just pouring it down the drain to get some that is a little more "fresh" than yesterday's. We always hear about different efforts to help those people who are without to get clean drinking water to fulfill their physical needs. But that made me think of a different kind of water which made me think
