Neil and Jennifer Lawrence are a young couple who came to Kenya while I was serving as the overseer of that country for the Church of God. In Kenya we are known legally as "New Testament Church of God - Kenya". Although Frances and I have been gone since the fall of 1998, the Lawrences continue their gospel work in Kenya, East Africa. In their newsletter they wrote about "Preaching the Gospel on the Edge". They live in Eldoret, Kenya, close to the edge of the Kerio Valley - which is a part of the Great Rift Valley.
I'm sure you have heard about people who want to "live on the edge" where the excitement is. Yes, it is exciting, but I assure you that living on "the edge" is a tough place to live. "The Edge" is sharp. It will cut you if you make the wrong move. You will bleed. It hurts. But at the same time it does have it's rewards. Through Neil's zeal and dedication to having excellent equipment for communicating the gospel, he has acquired one of the larger and more powerful Public Address systems available. People can hear the message as much as 10 miles away from their crusade. He reports that "In just three days of meetings over 100 adults were saved" in and through his ministry.
I ask all who may read this to pray for missionaries Neil and Jennifer Lawrence and their son, Joshua, who live in Kenya, East Africa.
