This is a list of our prayer requests for our ministry<br />
<br />
1)
Leah will continue the Friday Ladies Bible Study. Please pray for God
to give her a clear path as to which stories to tell in order to
disciple the ladies and help them grow stronger in their faith. <br />
<br />
2)
Alan will be seeking out men to begin a Men's Bible Study. Please pray
for the men to make a commitment to coming to the Bible Studies to be
discipled and grow in their faith.<br />
<br />
3) We will be seeking out nearby villages to evangelize and spread the
gospel. Please ask God to show us which village to go to and by what
means we should get there.<br />
<br />
4) We have many humanitarian projects that we want to start and we can't
start them all at one time. Please ask God to give us wisdom as to what
projects to start first.<br />
<br />
5) Our last term in Kenya was particularly difficult because Alan was
plagued with multiple illnesses. Please pray for our health. That our
bodies will remain healthy and strong so that we may carry out the tasks
God has laid out before us. <br />
<br />
6) Lastly and most importantly please pray according to this scripture in Ephesians 6:19-20 " 'and <i>pray</i> on my behalf, that utterance may be given to me in the
opening of my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the
gospel, <span class="reftext"></span>for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in <i>proclaiming</i> it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak."<br />
<br />
Thank you for your prayers<br />

<span style="color: blue;">
First of all, Praise God that we are going to be back with our children for Christmas and have the chance to update all of our prayer partners about what God has been doing. </span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue;">Since our time is limited we will not just be speaking at churches but also planning "Missions Parties" A Missions Party is a lot like a Tupperware Party except that you aren't there to hear about Tupperware, you are there to hear about Missions and particularly what God is doing in Kenya. </span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue;">Our time is short, so if you want to host a Missions Party let us know NOW.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue;">We are working out our calendar right now and you can get on there while there are still dates available.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue;">We are will be in </span><br />
<span style="color: blue;">West Virginia</span><br />

<br />
We have a lot to do before we can move up to Isiolo.<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Pray that we are able to complete the application for renewal of our work permit.</li>
<li>Pray for us as we work with EVC to teach one of their members how to keep their website updated.</li>
<li>Pray for us as we explain the vision that God has given us for our work
in Isiolo, that we will be open to the guidance and opinions of Pastor
Woche and how best to proceed with starting the project "Bringing the
Desert Back to Life" ( http://www.nomads4jesus.com/projects.html )</li>
<li>Pray for us to remain strong spiritually as we battle with satan and
his desire to keep us from completing the tasks that God has set before
us.</li>
<li>Pray for us to keep our eyes open to where God is working and stop and do the things that He is commanding us to do.</li>
<li>Praise God for allowing us to be able to help a family with a sick child.</li>
</ol>
Thank you for your prayers. Your prayers release God's power into our lives.The Fleming Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07451192825430711187noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5721078512806833601.post-59388187973420219892013-03-04T13:26:00.002-08:002013-03-04T13:26:22.908-08:00Another StepAnother step closer!<br />
<br />
1) Praise the Lord we have partnered with World Outreach Ministries. WOM has been helping missionaries fulfill their call for 34 years. They are serving over 200 missionaries in this capacity. We fell blessed to be partnering with them and are excited to see what God holds for us. <br />
<br />
2)
Please pray for us as we determine the exact date we should return to
Kenya. The Kenya Presidential Elections are March 4th. The last
presidential election ended in a war that killed over 800 people and
displaced over 600,000 people. We have been advised by our mentors and
veteran missionaries in Kenya to wait until after the elections to book
our tickets. And we feel that this is the wise course of action.<br />
<br />
3)
Please continue to pray for our spiritual preparation for our return to
Kenya. It is important that we are spiritually prepared for the battle
that we will surely face when we arrive. Satan does not want us to be
there and he will oppose us. <br />
<br />
Thank you so much for your continued prayers. They release God's power to work miracles in our lives and we appreciate them.

<br />
1) Praise the Lord we received Ross' US Passport.<br />
<br />
2) Praise the Lord we have an appointment with a mission agency that has agreed to do our covering for our non-profit status. <br />
<br />
3) Please pray as we meet with this agency, that God will direct us and tell us if we should partner with them.<br />
<br />
4) Please pray for us as we determine the exact date we should return to Kenya. The Kenya Presidential Elections are March 4th.

but we have a lot that still needs to be done.<br />
<br />
We need prayer for our non-profit covering. We are using an organization in California and the head of that organization is closing down his ministry. We know that God has something lined up for us so that we can return to Kenya, but we need prayer for that to materialize very soon. The California ministry is committed to keeping things running until we get something else worked out. We are very grateful for that. But we would also like to honor his desire to close his ministry. So we are looking for a church or another non-profit ministry that will take us under their wing. If you have more questions, please write to us. alanandleahfleming@gmail.com<br />
<br />
We have many other preparations to get ready to return.<br />
Pray for strength, endurance and wisdom.<br />
<br />
Thank you and we look forward to another year of ministry with you.<br />

<br />
We still have many financial and spiritual goals that must be met before our return.<br />
<br />
Our target date is March. Pray for God's timing for the finances to come in.<br />
Pray for God's timing for the scheduling of Volunteer mission trips and that we will get back<br />
in time to get ready for them. Our first group is coming in May. <br />
<br />
Thank you for praying for us, may the Lord bless you and keep you.<br />

So all the Fleming are back in one house again for a short time.<br />
<br />
We have a lot of projects on the burners and I hope that you will soon be seeing the fruit of those projects. 1) New Website 2) Power Point of our Vision for Volunteer Projects in Kenya 3) Information Packets for churches on how to join the Volunteer Projects in Kenya 4) Copying of our New Videos that have just been completed by our videographer friend Tim Miller. <br />
<br />
We are looking for churches to speak at in North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, South Carolina, and Georgia. If you live in one of those states, and would like for us to speak at your church about what God is doing in Kenya, then please contact us @ alanandleahfleming@gmail.com<br />

<br />
We believe that God wants us to return to Kenya with a<br />
strong prayer base and a strong financial support base.<br />
<br />
We need the prayer base so that we can remain strong in our faith and resist the tests that Satan will surely put in our path.<br />
<br />
We need the financial support base so that we can focus on spreading the gospel and not be constantly bogged down with fund-raising so that we can pay our bills. <br />
<br />
<u><b>Here are the goals we need to reach </b></u><br />
Prayer -1000 prayer partners supporting our work in Kenya.<br />
Financial -300 financial partners supporting our work in Kenya.<br />
<br />
Please be in prayer with us, that God will help us to reach these goals in His time and give us the patience that we need to wait on Him.<br />

</div><div style="color: #351c75;"><b><u>What will our ministry entail when we are in the US? </u></b></div><div style="color: #351c75;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #351c75;">1) We will be involved in two local churches while we are in NC. White Rock UMC and Mt Pleasant BC.

</div><div style="color: #351c75;">2) We will be traveling to churches all over the US to share the work God is doing in Kenya. If you want us to share the things God has used us to do with your church, please send us a note. Also, please make sure that we have your church on our "contact" list.

It has been a fantastic time of ministry for us. Leah was blessed by God to be able to design a solar cooker that is simple to make and is low in price. Alan has been blessed to be able to sit down with pastors in the Isiolo area and conduct a spiritual survey. It has been an enlightening experience and will help us to hear God's calling of where our focus should be when we return. Alan has also had many opportunities to preach.<br />
<br />
As we wrap up our time in Isiolo, we ask for these prayers.<br />
1) That we will be able to hear clearly from God what our role in the work in Isiolo will be when we return from Furlough<br />
2) That the pastors and christians living here will stand strong and be faithful to spread the gospel.<br />
3) That someone will learn how to build the solar cookers and carry on the spreading of that technology.<br />
4) That the ladies who are learning how to solar cook will not be discouraged, but stick with it until they learn how to do it well.<br />
5) That God will show us where He wants us to go and what He wants us to do while we are in the US.<br />
<br />

Solar Cooking, Cooking in a Basket, Water Retention, Tree Planting and Spiritual Teaching.<br />
<br />
1) Solar Cooking - Pray for Leah as she works towards designing the most effective and least expensive solar cooker from the materials available in Isiolo. Isiolo has a lot of sun, but also has a fierce wind that blows constantly and is creating significant challenges in developing the design for the solar cooker.<br />
<br />
2) Water Retention - This is an area that we have read about and gotten some sage advice from several friends, but it is the first time we have developed a Water Rentention Project or taught the principles. Pray that we will understand the best ways to help people understand how they can improve the Soil Water Content of the areas where they live.<br />
<br />
3) Tree Planting - Pray that the people will understand the importance of planting trees to replace the ones that they are cutting down to make charcoal. They are selling the charcoal to support their families. They truly have no other means to do so at this time. Please pray that the other projects we are doing will decrease the amount of charcoal they need to make, by reducing their expenses and improving their crop productions.<br />
<br />
4) Spiritual Teaching - Pray for God's guidance in showing us what areas of teaching these Christians need.The Fleming Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07451192825430711187noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5721078512806833601.post-37791539300565636662010-06-01T07:04:00.000-07:002010-06-08T22:47:59.518-07:00Isiolo TripWe are traveling up to Isiolo for a 2 to 3 month ministry trip.
