Dear Praying Friends,

As you can see, we are back in the States. We arrived here on August 10th and have been busy preparing our DVD presentation to show to churches and getting adjusted. We are in the process of preparing our schedule to visit supporting churches and others, so if you would like a visit, our information is at left. Please do contact us, as we are very anxious to see you and tell you what God is doing in Kenya.

We are grandparents again! Our newest granddaughter, Kailyn Rose Austin, arrived early on August 30, 2007. She was almost 28 weeks when she was born at the University of Michigan Hospital, and she weighed two pounds and two ounces. She is the Newborn Intensive Care Unit at the hospital and will be there for a long time. Kaily, as she will be called, is a fighter and seems to be holding her own, even though she is very small. She is on the ventilator, but there is hope that she will be taken off this week if she continues to do well. Her blood pressure fluctuates, but the doctors have told us that this is common in a baby so small. God has been so faithful to us during this time and has really comforted us with His presence (Psalms 29:11). Pam is in Michigan as I type this, as she went to be with our daughter and son-in-law, Sara and Graig Austin, during this time. I stayed back to work on our presentation so that we can start to visit churches soon. Please remember Graid and Sara and little Kaily in your prayers as tey adjust to a different life for a little while. Please pray that Kaily will be healthy and will develop without complications. Our other granddaughter, Melia, who is Kaily's sister, is four years old and happy to have a baby sister. Graig and Sara are stateside missionaries on the campus of the University of Michigan.

From what we are hearing from our churches in Kenya, things are going well. One of our pastors e-mails us from time to time to let us know about the ministries there. We are asking God to protect the ministries while we are gone and we are anxious to return to our people later on.

Thanks again for your prayers and for your interest and support of God's work in Kenya. We look forward to seeing many of you while we are here. Please contact us, and most of all, pray for our newest granddaughter. May our Lord bless each of you and your labors for Him. We appreciate you.

Love in Christ,

Mike and Pam Anderson
