The Shelby Family in Kenya

1. Our Prison Ministry has really started making progress since June, and we have seen over 250 inmates give their lives to the Lord.

2. Abigail’s Bone Density test have come back with very positive results this week (10-13-08).  Her lower lumbar vertebrae have had enough new growth to bring her numbers up into the normal range.  And her hip joints and femur bones have had some new growth also, but the Doctor did tell us that she still has a ways to go in that area.  But Praise the Lord! We have seen a big improvement.  She will need to be tested every year for the next 5 years, but we are praying that by next years testing; she will be in remission.  Please pray with us about that.

1. Internally Displaced People (IDPs) are starting to return to their home areas.

2. Bethel Baptist Church (in the village of Opoya) was started on April 27, 2008.
