Dear Friends,

Sorry for not writing in so long, I’ve let my E-mail duties slide a bit. Ericka and I are fine, it is beginning to rain around Turkana which is a great blessing. On the other hand it brings out the scorpions and spiders. Pray we don’t get stung or bitten.

We just came back to Turkana from a trip to Eldoret. While there I had some work done on our vehicle. I went to buy some new gear oil in town and was needing help carrying it back to where my mechanic works when I spotted a street boy, Emanuel, who looked like he needed some help. I asked him to help carry the oil and in return paid him a little and bought him lunch. I then began sharing Jesus with him and his need for Salvation. Emanuel soon accepted Christ! Later I had my mechanic, who is a deacon in his church and very strong Christian to visit with Emanuel and make sure he was serious about his decision. The mechanic and I worked with Emanuel to send him back to his home in Kitale and get him off the streets in Eldoret. Pray for Emanuel that the Lord would show Himself strong in his life.

Another interesting occurrence was meeting up with a couple of Mormon missionaries. They wanted to share some things with us, so we invited them to go eat Chinese in order to share together. The missionaries, Reese and Mainganye, had their bags full of Mormon literature and their guns loaded with construed Scripture and verses out of context. The Lord was certainly with Ericka and I, we were able to quote Scripture to every aspect they were trying to falsify and twist. Pray for these two young men, that their eyes may be opened to the True Word of God and that the lies they have put their trust in will be exposed. Thank you Dave for leaving me your file on Mormons.

In Turkana. Last month we helped with a DOUBLE WEDDING in Lorogumu. What an event! It was the first church wedding ever in that village. There were 430 people in attendance, all in a 20 by 40 building. Bible Institute classes are going well, we continue to build and improve on our classrooms. This week Ericka and I are going to teach at a leaders seminar in Lopur, pray for God to guide us there.

God bless you all and remember that if you ever begin talking to Mormon missionaries you’d better know The Word!

In Christ, Bob Clark
