Responding at a Moment's Notice!

 Recently we were sitting around a table with a group of missionary workers and discussing our ministry as member care givers, sharing a little understanding about what we do. We were asked at that time, where we would be traveling to next for our ministry. We responded that at this time and for the remainder of the year, we do not have any out of country visits planned. We continued our visit together and left the meeting, only to receive a phone call asking us if we can come to Kenya. 

Often our ministry is not unlike the Minutemen volunteers of the Civil War Era. They were ready to respond in a moments notice, and we like them too are ready to respond. We have been in this ministry of support and care to our missionaries for over twenty years now. It is a joy for us to go, to share, to listen, to care and it is time to respond again. 

We will be leaving for Kenya this weekend for two weeks of ministry with our team serving there. We anticipate many opportunities to support and care for our people there. We ask an interest in your prayers as we go that we may have ears to hear and hearts to empathize as we meet with folks during these days. 

Everytime we are called to go, we pause to think of you, the reader of this blog. We sort of think of you as our "Minutemen" persons that we can stop and say, thank you, Father God for giving us a support team that continues to stand with us in ministry. We thank you, Father God for people who pray for us as we go on ministry journeys like this, and for the many individuals and churches that give sacrificially to us through World Gospel Mission so we can go. While we say thank you, Father God, we say thank you to you. Without your faithfulness, we would not be able to go. 

Please pray for us as we prepare for this trip. Please pray for our flights, connections, and luggage as we will be carrying supplies with us for the ministry there. Please pray for our visits with our team mates and co-workers serving faithfully on the front lines of ministry. Please pray for the entire staff continuing to work throughout Kenya as they partner with the African Gospel Church and the various important ministries taking place through the mission. We will have significant time to share with workers at Tenwek Hospital and at the newly opened Cardiac Thoracic Center. This state of the art facility was a result of a partnership with World Gospel Mission, the African Gospel Church, and Samaritan's Purse. 

Finally, thanks for praying and supporting us in a minute's notice. If you would like to give a one-time gift to further support our work and help defray the extra costs of this ministry visit to Kenya, please make a contribution to WORLD GOSPEL MISSION . It will be a blessing to our work, as will your prayers. 

Thankyou for being our "Minutemen" in this important endeavor. 

Sincerely,

Ned and Marlene McGrady
