God, You are the Potter and we're the clay (Jermiah 18:1-4)

The first semester in Bible School, for most of the ladies is almost behind. They love the teaching. Final exams are December 16th.

As you can see Helen in the pictures . She was the one who asked, that if there could be also morning classes, so that mothers could attend. Back then she did not know, that she would truly need the teaching. Her family has faced some challenges, but  God has been faithful. 

Helen is also one of my closest neighbors. I so much love that, I can just walk out of gate and go to see her when I'm bored in the house. 

Her oldest son Elvis 6 years old, comes almost daily to our house, to play and draw. At the moment she takes care, of her sisters son Collins 10 months old. His mother went to work as a house girl to Saudi-Arabia. Her other son Justin is now 1 year and few months old. Justin has become "my son". Meaning that on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday mornings I help her to carry one of the small ones to the church, usually Justin. It's amazing as I go to their house, he lifts up his hands and wan't me to beba beba=to carry him on my back.

On Friday mornings, we have Ladies devotional from 10-11 am at my house. I simply love it. 

I've been sharing from Jeremiah 18:1-4. How the Word from Jesus comes to us. We can rise up and go to God the potter, we who are but clay. And as we allow the love of God to touch our innermost parts, His love stats too heal us. The potter is God Himself, who knows that we cannot be fixed, so He changes from inside out. Like my cracked clay cooking pot, cannot be fixed.

How can one be changed? Simply to receive Jesus as my Savior. And the from that on, receive salvation in my lives situations moment by moment.

 The other portion I've spoken is Psalm 139. In that Psalm it refers to God as helper 32 times (Amplified). That Psalm is so comforting, we're so protected by Him: He knows my thoughts, sitting down, getting up… That is true love and care. This care can be experienced by letting God love us, right where we're at.

Let me finish this time with these words: Yesu anakupenda sana/ Jesus loves you much.

Sosh, Mama-Helena

Car and new home

Let me tell you briefly about this Isaiah 28:12 a home, a resting place for the weary.

But first about Jukka's longtime prayer, that was answered. I don't know for how long he has been praying for a car. 

Our friend John Gishinga has had this 30 years old BMW, in his garage for years. Both men have been talking about this car. Final conclusion was, that it was towed to our compound few weeks ago. John told Jukka, that if he can fix it, he can use it for few years. 

Well, as you can see in the pictures below, engine needs serious fixing. The prayer is, that the fixing would not me very expensive.
But anyhow Jukka is happy, and he loves fixing this car.

Then to my joy. Since we came to Kenya in February 2011, I have been praying to God, to have home like this. The previous house we lived in, Jukka got serious health problems. House after that was, too big and expensive, not a home. In an area where everybody loves their own privacy. Thank God we had a place to live in. Some how it's funny, most people seek for bigger houses, not me. I just want a home. But I need to say that, now God gave me, more than I could ask or think. I've never lived in such a nice house like this. The lady who owns this, went to South-Sudan. Her name is Nuna, she's a beautiful moslem. Lets keep her and her family in our prayers. 

The things that blesses me in this house: the location, I can see the church from our compound, neighbors are friendly, area is secure, many moslem ladies live close by, most of the families from the church live very close. Also this whole area is peaceful and quiet. Though to Kitengela center is further, maybe 3 kilometers away.

House itself: has servants quarter what is self-contained, where Mike lives. The house has grilled patios, interior is so pretty with lots of light.

Well we have a nice quest room also, so please consider paying a visit.

Some prayer requests:

1. Our working permits, without delays or problems by mid December.

2. Keep the men of our church in prayers, they have great calls in their lives, and the enemy knows it, by bringing confusion.

In His grace Helena and p.Jukka

ps. Jukka will write later about his great trip to Tanzania.
