Thanksgiving Praises


the almost over-cooked turkey, but it actually still turned out really good. thank You Jesus! 



Greetings All,

We just wanted to say THANK YOU for your Thanksgiving Day electricity prayers!!! They were answered! We had power ALL day! But I heard from other friends around Nairobi that they didn't have power, so I am so blessed that we did, but am so sad that others did not.

The Lord blessed us with 20 adults and 5 children under the age of 10! It was really fun. When we took the photo some people hadn't arrived yet, but the Turkey was ready and everyone was ready to eat, so we had to take the picture and start without them...smile. Jesus made sure there was still plenty for them when they arrived. He is a Good God!!!

However, Daddy/Ramsey was unable to make it home in time for Thanksgiving. He is in South Sudan taking care of the children and building a new dorm room for the additional 20+ children they received last month. We are so blessed to be a part of these children's lives for this season.

Please pray with us that Ramsey will be able to come home this coming week and that we would have a great family time together.

Also please pray for a development/sustainability project we are working on with the some of the more remote villages in Ramsey's area. We are in the process of having some equipment made for that project and we really could use prayers that the equipment is made properly and will last for years to come and will be a blessing to those in the project.

Thank you for your love and prayers for us!
Blessings,
the Vule family
