Dear supporters. I received this letter this morning from Kathy in West Pokot , Kenya. She has sacrificed her time , money, heart and effort to come to the people there and minister healing and love from the big heart the Lord has blessed her with. Please pray for Kathy and Jim. We need more servants like these two wonderful saints to give themselves to the people God has entrusted to our care. Leroy and Mary are coming home in a few weeks to Alaska for a sabbatical. Pray for their safe journey and the open doors God will provide to share their work and need for the people of West Pokot.
Hi there dear friends of the Pokot. This morning in church service I shared with the people that I left my heart here years ago when I lived here...I came back to get it, it was still here, with them. I see many cases of malaria, lots of worms, TB, babies with dehydration, skin diseases such as scabies and ring worm are common...I am seeing some malnutrition as well...there is always something that needs to be done. The Hawns are always busy getting those things done. The people here love these folks - Leroy and Mary - and so do I. I am not certain where the Lord will lead my husband and I...we have always wanted to come back to live and work...the Lord would need to prepare and coordinate many things for that to happen but His great wisdom has done that many times in our lives. We are blessed to be close to retirement and the freedom to be used full time is something we pray about in earnest. It would be a blessing to have trained Pokot here to take care of the medical needs of their people as well as take care of the other needs. I believe that being a missionary is the only job we try to work ourselves out of...to establish strong hearts for Jesus and faith in Him and then to have the folks here take over is what we missionaries try to do. There are many things being done to that end but will be some time in the future before that is accomplished. Please pray with my husband Jim and i about this opportunity to come and serve full time. He will be 61 soon and could retire at 62. Until then I am open to coming for this two months at a time and he is ready to take his vacation time each year to come and build relationships again...continue to pray that these folks hear and receive the hope of our Lord and King Jesus! Blessings in His name..Kathy Tierney
