Kenya Update

Friday afternoon (Aug 28) started a new adventure in the Cox family, especially for Nehemiah. On Friday afternoon I left Nehemiah at Rift Valley Academy (RVA) in Kenya. It was difficult for me to leave him. The Thursday and Friday morning before was a fantastic orientation time at RVA. Praise God for the wonderful orientation, pray for Nehemiah as he starts boarding school and pray for the rest of the family as they re-adjust.

Since dropping Nehemiah off at boarding school I have been working with our national partner TWR Kenya on some technical issues. The most pressing is a Studio Transmitter Link in Voi (four hours SE of Nairobi). Pray that God would give wisdom and insight as we work on this link and safety while traveling.

During my time in Nairobi God has providentially brought some people in difficult circumstances across my path. Pray for wisdom, grace, safety and the Spirit’s leading in these circumstances.

Lord willing on Thursday (Sept 3) I will rendezvous with a new short term volunteer for Benin, Mrs. W, at the airport in Nairobi so we can travel to Benin together. Mrs. W. is from South Africa and will be helping TWR in Benin for three months. Pray that the rendezvous will be easy and pray for Mrs. W as she settles into life and ministry in Benin.

Emmanuel Mbennah (the new international director for TWR Africa) has asked me to travel to South Africa on September 15 as he rolls out his leadership plan for the Africa region. This is a wonderful opportunity for me to go and hear first hand the new leadership structure under Dr. Mbennah. The down side is that I have been away from my family a tremendous amount the last few months. Pray that God would richly bless my time with Donna and the girls before I pack up again and pray for the new TWR leadership structure in the Africa region.

Grace & Peace — Paul
