Meanwhile, life goes on. For the past two weeks Darlene Coulston has been teaching the Bible classes at MITS. The class was in the Gospels and ready for the work of John the Baptist. The students were interested, so Darlene has carefully studied every New Testament passage on baptism. Then today 4 young men were baptized -- Francis Cugia, Francis Wahome, Titus Kioko and George Mwenda. After the baptisms, Charles Kimani said he will be baptized tomorrow. Then in the afternoon Frederick Otieno told Charles that he will be baptized next Sunday. So...Good News at MITS!

20 Acres Update
We are making progress in our effort to stop those who invaded the 20 acres. The local police commander has stopped the construction until the case is settled. Our attorney has visited the farm and has all the documents and pictures; he believes we have a strong case and says this judge will take a strict view on protection of land. The local authority that surrendered this land to us has written a letter stating that MITS is the only party that the land was surrendered to. And today representatives from two television stations (KTN and KBC) came to take pictures, view the land and interview staff and students who were present at the invasion. They think it will be in the news Monday.

Praise God for our new young brothers in Christ. From the dirty streets of Nairobi to the gold-paved streets of Heaven, these will have had quite the journey when they finally get Home. Thank you for bringing the light of God's grace to them. I have no doubt that Francis, Wahome, Titus, George, Charles and Frederick will in turn share that light in word and deed with those whom they know the rest of their lives.
I am glad to hear that the lankd dispute may be closer to being resolved peacefully. This world is God's and everything in it. That 20 acres belongs to Him and He will use it as He sees fit. It's our prayer that MITS will have the opportunity to serve as God's steward there for a long time to come. Peace and joy and perseverance.
Great news all the way around. The lessons I have been preparing focus on God's graceand accepting Jesus Christ. The lessons should go go hand in in with the study of baptism. I am very happy the young men have choosen to accept Christ. Yesterday we encouraged our congregation to contact the US embassy in Kenya to investigate the land claims being made and support mits. There are many praying for you...Larry
Praise the Lord--that is so awesome! Please tell the boys that I am so excited for them and proud of them as well as all the other Aggies!
Love,
