As we come into the New Year, we are getting closer to that day! God has been so gracious to us. He has provided in every way needed for the MissionPossible team to serve Him and to serve in all the ways He had pre-determined. We will be doing great work in the name of Jesus!
Doug and Deb Gillaspie of Beach Park have partnered with us on our journey to Kenya. They have served with our Leaders Ron and Ronda Addison (Pekin, IL) serveral times in Kenya and have developed a list of projects to be completed during our stay.
Listed below are the projects. Some of them, we are providing the funds for the work to be done by the locals. But, most of this list will be "hands-on" by everyone on our team. Kasarani is the poorest of poor; to have the funds to feed the entire village for two weeks is a true blessing. We are all excited about that!
Our gratitude to all who made donations, financial and donated items, is beyond measure. Your prayers and support have been humbling to us all. From our hearts, we thank you so very much.

Mission Possible/Kenya
God has called 21 servants from Gurnee Community Church to be His hands and feet in Africa. We will try to visit several of the ministries of Paul & Leah Manyara, Simon & Margaret Muhota, and Ron and Ronda Addison. Some of those locations may include Green Pastures, Escarpment, and Maingi, all of which over-look the "Great Rift Valley." If time permits, we may be able to drive to Kasarani to check on that location as well. The tribe we will mosly be with are the Kikuyu Tribe. Joining us are Ron and Ronda Addison. They are missionaries who served in Kenya before returning to the U.S. for their new assignment as Project Coordinators for The Shepherd's Little Lambs, Africa and Moffat Bible College. They will be leading us on this amazing adventure for God.
The Missionaries that Gurnee Community Church Supports in Africa are Simon and Margaret Muhota of the AIC Church and Paul and Leah Manyara, who oversee the Moffat Bible College. These are both in Kijabe. We will be doing great work for God.
