A note from Matt ABOUt tHE TRIP:
BACK TO KENYA
Recently I have been presented with an incredible opportunity to partner with a missions agency called Unusual Soldiers to minister with Maasai pastors and to check on an ongoing work with the Turkana tribe in Northern Kenya. I will be traveling to Kenya March 23 - 31. I am excited to be returning to a region of Africa that I have been involved with for almost 16 years.
Since my first trip in 2008, numerous churches have been planted. This vision has always been about the Maasai reaching the Maasai. With that in mind I have been investing in spiritual leaders within the Maasai tribe, traveling with them to unreached places, providing support, and training. I am excited to now be partnering with Unusual Solders; it was through this ministry many years ago that my life was forever changed.
There are 3 goals for this trip:
Speak at multiple Maasai churches and conferences.
Participate in the Bush Ministry. We will travel and hike through areas in need of hope.
Travel and assist a very remote Turkana village that Unusual Soldiers brought a water well to last year. After the well was drilled, a school was launched! My hope is to continue to help this region of Kenya. The area is very dry and desolate and the people have faced many hardships from conflict, starvation, and drought. I will be helping this village get school supplies, get a water trough for the animals, get food, and deliver a mode of transportation to the school for the teacher to use.
While I have visited this region several times and feel comfortable ministering among the Maasai, I know that it would be foolish to rely on my own strength and experience as we travel. Our team will be engaging in a spiritual battle and the struggle will be intense. Please join me in prayer for spiritual, mental, and physical preparation, for protection and strength, for enemy strongholds to be broken and the power of the Holy Spirit to be at work. Please pray also that the Lord will burden others with this mission and that the necessary financial support will be raised. *I will need a total of $3500 and my ministry partner Arold will need to raise $3,500 to pay for our airfare, ministry expenses, and in-country travel/lodging. Much of this support has to be raised by March.
Thank you for your love and support through the years!
Matt M.
