It's about to get crazy!

It is hard to believe that February is already gone, where it went I haven't a clue! March is upon us and so is much planning and busy times. The planning for the move to London and E week. There will also be a team going to visit Meagan in Mexico and see all the cool stuff GOD is doing down there! What a blessing. I will try to get pictures to post from that.

People are still connecting with the London team and final preparations are still being made. They had a rummage sale which went well. The Agape-gram fundraiser went well too. Around 25 cheesecakes were ordered! Several of the team members have their tickets, thus departure dates. It is going to come really fast! I am excited to see how the LORD might already be preparing the people to hear the message that will be brought to them about Jesus! For those of you in the field you know best how to pray for the team, since you have been there!

E week looks to be another wonderful celebration of Jesus and what HE did for us. There will be a Christ centered Passover , prayer, a movie evangelism event, and the Resurrection Day event/service.

We are having another rain storm, it was pelting the house in the wee hours this morning. I am missing the goats as I watch the weeds and grass grow taller and taller! We already have an inch of rain from this storm! What a blessing, after three years of drought!

The youth groups got to have their snow trips this weekend and last, pray for Brian, he is fighting the bug that is getting everyone, and he leaves for Mexico on Monday. I will see if anyone has pictures for those events.

Chick in Action are planning the education panel event to help parents know what options are out there... this should be so cool. We will have different couples speaking about what they do as far as education for their children. It is still in the planning stages, but that is what we are thinking, pray that it will be what God wants. The Women's conference is in May. It is in the early planning stages.

Well that is a quick summary of the activities that I know about that are going on at Shoreline.

Praying that you all are doing well and drawing nearer to our LORD each day.

Safety

Dear Followers of Back at the Ranch.
We have tried to make this as private as we can with out making it invitation only. To that end we have removed it from being able to be found by search engine or the next blog feature. We would request unless you have an invitation only blog/website that you not put a link on your blog to this blog. We have some missionaries that we like to put on our pray for feature and they have to be VERY careful about being identified. It puts them at greater risk. So if you have us on you favorites or blogs we follow lists, could you please remove us.
We appreciate that you want to share, but it is safer to do it by word of mouth.
Thank you!

God bless you ,
Jana

It's February!

Wow can you believe it is Feb. already? Looks like we will fly through this year just like last year! Things are getting busy as we look to the plans for this year. The transition is moving forward. There will be a meeting tomorrow after church about the London church plant and how God is moving the team. The Women's ministry team met and were discussing events they are feeling led to have! We have care team meetings going on to get the London team cared for. And it looks like we are going to have a new batch of babies for the year! I can't believe how fast the other little ones are growing!

The P4 (If you haven't heard , yes they are expecting!) are getting settled back in Kisumu! We had such a wonderful visit with them. Looking forward to see what the LORD does in this season of ministry for them.

The London team is having a fun fund raiser. Agape-grams, a rose, a card and cheesecake! Does that say love? hopefully! Alycia is already planning how to decorate the cheesecakes with chocolate and white chocolate 'collars'.

We have rain!!! What a blessing the rain has been. We have had about 7 inches of rain in the last month...which we have so desperately needed! In fact it was pouring off and on this morning. The wind took down a tree which took down a fence on our property but it was easily chainsawed into pieces and the fence, being chainlink was put up fairly easy on to new posts. More firewood!

I hope everyone is doing well. If you have prayer requests let us know... we love being intercessors for you!
May the presence of our LORD be with you and may your walk with Jesus deepen daily.
