Team Ministry

CBM Muslim Ministry Team, Kenya

Over the past week, we have been blessed to have our friends Michael and Melanie Waddell from Midland Baptist Church, New Brunswick, visit and join us in ministry. Michael and Melanie joined our Muslim Ministry team for a retreat day on Friday as we sang, prayed and discussed the different ways that we each connect with God. We used Gary Thomas’ insightful book Sacred Pathways as we talked about our individual differences and similarities. It was a refreshing and encouraging day!

We have been profoundly blessed to serve in Africa with wonderful teams in each of the areas of outreach that we are a part of. Collaboration and cooperation have been an integral part of affective ministry for CBM around the world. Next week, we will participating in gathering of our Kenya and Rwanda teams being facilitated by our Africa team leader, Colin Godwin, and director of member care, Sharlene Craig.

William and Patrick, young leaders in Garissa and Eastleigh

Please remember our Muslim Ministry team members in your prayers. We think especially of William and Yattani who are travelling through areas of insecurity and tension in North Eastern Province. This past week, six people were killed in Garissa in the latest attack against southern Kenyans. Pastors in Garissa continue to struggle to build peace. We thank God for a positive relationship that is being formed in Garissa between Christian and Muslim leaders. Presently, CBM is working with these two groups to initiate a joint project in Garissa that will demonstrate cooperation, respect and healing in the community. We covet your prayers!
