In January God planted Gabe and Jill Moudy on the coast of Kenya to minister to the Giriama people. The Moudys settled in Kilifi along with their team mates, Jaime and Ginger Swift, who are supported by the Vandelia congregation here in Lubbock. Gabe's agricultural background, along with Jill's nursing skills will be a wonderful outreach of love to the Giriama as they share God's grace with these people. But for now, God is strengthening Gabe and Jill's faith in His wonderful grace as they are learning to overcome the obstacles of being strangers in a foreign land.
Language is one of the many hurdles to overcome in preparing to minister to the Giriama.
A language helper, Safari, started lessons with Gabe and Jill April 7 th . We have been really anxious to get started with this, because it's very uncomfortable not being able to communicate. Nature and wildlife have also played a part in God's plan to initiate Gabe and Jill into their new home. Although the invading cobra was unwelcome, the wildlife kept in its place in the wild, has been greatly appreciated. We quickly asked the camp workers if the crocs ever come up out of the water onto our shoreline.
