Our schedule was complex given that two conferences were
running simultaneously. Half the Love & Respect team started in Watamu and then
half way through the three-day program, at lunchtime, we all hopped in a car
and switched locations. Every team member had messages from the Lord to share
and so we had to share team members.
 |
The Africa Inland Church of Watamu, and Pr Patrick, were
the gracious hosts of this marriage conference. |
 |
Leslie had the privilege of launching the conference
with a session about covenant and marriage. |
 |
| Bill is teaching about Love is a Decision |
 |
| Bill later teaching about Man as Head of the Home |
 |
Cindy B teaching about Choosing to Stay
Jean in the background teaching about Setting Family Goals |
 |
| Cindy B teaching about Song of Solomon |
 |
| Cindy F teaching about Family Roles |
 |
| Jean teaching about Setting Goals for the Family |
 |
| Leslie teaching about Sexual Intimacy in Marriage |
 |
| Leslie later teaching about Love & Respect |
 |
| Lori teaching about Finding Your Purpose |
 |
| Mary teaching about Prophetic Ministry in Marriage |
 |
| Mike teaching about How to Fight Fair |
 |
Mike closed the first day session with A Higher Calling
This message inspired couples to live according to Scripture
rather than societal expectations |
We all had at least three sessions to teach each day and so the topics listed in these photos are not a complete representation of the full content. We were assured, both before and after the conference, that we brought necessary and valuable lessons for the community. While each team member could (and is invited to) share those
personal moments where they saw the Lord working in the lives of these couples,
the real praise will come six months and later when we hear testimonies about
how the conference touched marriages throughout coastal Kenya. Praising God in
advance for his move in so many marriages in this area.

The second half of the team to serve in Watamu
with Prs Margaret and Paul Badula. |
 |
| A huge thank you to the Watamu Pastors' Fellowship Association! |
Thanking God for the help of the whole team, but especially for
Pr Ephantus who cared for the Ganda team throughout so that I could be moving
between the two locations (not pictured, because he was in Ganda).
