October
14, 2012 - Thanksgiving!
"Then many will
give thanks on our behalf for the gracious favor granted us in answer to the
prayers of many."
2 Corinthians 1:12
Dear friends and partners,
We are writing to thank the Lord with you
for His gracious favor in answer to your prayers and support.
First, let's give thanks for Steve's preparations
over the last few months and successful presentation this weekend at the
missionary medicine conference here at The Cove in Asheville, North Carolina -
also known as the Billy Graham Training Center. He was able to inform and
encourage many, both about his gastroenterology topics and the mission at
Tenwek hospital. (See picture above.) It has been a good opportunity to
network, renew relationships, and enjoy spiritual "re-fueling" before
we finish our Home Ministry Assignment…. Which brings us to our second point…
Second, we thank the Lord that we have
been officially released by World Gospel Mission to return to Kenya! We
are grateful for every prayer and every penny, which has been committed on our
behalf. HOWEVER - we needed to commit our own personal funds to make
up the gap which still remains. We have made that pledge in faith, trusting
that others will continue to send pledges and help make up the difference.
Lord willing, we will be departing from
the US on Wednesday, October 24th from Denver. We are ready and eager to
return to our Kenyan family, friends, and work, and we are thankful beyond
words for the opportunity, which the Lord is giving us again because of our
faithful partners.
Thank you for standing (and kneeling)
with us.
In His service,
Steve & Alene Burgert
