Pray for great connections with young people in Kenya, for worship opportunities, and for God\u2019s leading in his life.<\/li>\n<li>Pray for the Matiliku network in southern Kenya. I finished Pathways training with them July 2019 just before COVID, but delayed graduation. They are eager for a refresher workshop and then to graduate their network. They are all pastors in the Africa Inland Church denomination and have been multiplying Pathways throughout their region.<\/li>\n<li>Pray for Silas and the network in Nairobi as they receive workshop #1 (Jonah) and launch into new ways of studying, understanding, and preaching God\u2019s Word, passing the training on to many others.<\/li>\n<li>Pray for the Mombasa network of church planters going to Somalia and northeast Kenya. They will be in difficult locations experiencing persecution, so pray I can equip them well in God\u2019s Word to fulfill their calling.<\/li>\n<li>Please pray for Holly while I am away as she tries to recover from some health challenges. Praise God Andrew will be at home while I\u2019m away.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3621\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3621\" style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3621\" src=\"http:\/\/belzglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/2024-06-Nairobi-training-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1066\" srcset=\"https:\/\/belzglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/2024-06-Nairobi-training-1.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/belzglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/2024-06-Nairobi-training-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/belzglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/2024-06-Nairobi-training-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/belzglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/2024-06-Nairobi-training-1-1024x682.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3621\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nairobi training &#8211; teaching pastors to &#8220;keep their finger in the text!&#8221;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear prayer partners, I leave in a few days for a very involved, diverse set of trainings in Kenya.
