When newlyweds Bethany and Josh Sanderson arrive in Kenya as part of our Youth & Schools Outreach Ministry Team, they will be following in the footsteps of another young couple God took to the same wonderful country for their first ministry trip together in 1979 – our Mission Co-Founders and Directors, Thomas and Yvonne McClean!
Naturally, Thomas has shared many of his missionary tales over the years, often highlighting the presence of ‘creepy crawlies’ not native to Northern Ireland in a bid to scare our travelling team members.
We know Bethany and Josh (and Danny and Matthew!) haven’t let the stories scare them… or if they have, they haven’t let on.Please be praying for the team as they finalise preparations for the trip, which will include speaking at a youth conference, delivering leadership seminars and youth ministry training, schools ministry, preaching at several local churches, and speaking at two women’s conferences.
As the next chapter of LMI’s connection with Kenya is about to be written, our prayer is the same as Thomas and Yvonne’s was in 1979 – that God would bless the efforts of the team, guide them, protect them, and use them to bring Him glory.
