Dear Friends,The BLOG was ready to be finished when we received the news of our Grandson Martin’s accident and death on November 22nd. It was impossible to work on the BLOG at that sad time, as I wrote to you in the last Mission Newsletter. Lídia and I went to Germany to see our son Léo, Martin’s father, to give strength to each other and to look together for comfort in the Word of God. We came back to Nairobi on December 3rd.
We are still mourning and God is giving us strength and power to support us in such a big sorrow. - We are back with a new postage about SEVERAL ACTIVITIES at the Uhuru Highway Lutheran Cathedral and in Kenya. I add some recent activities that happened in December. Follow us and pray for us. Thank you for your support and your love.Pastor Carlos Walter & Lídia Winterle
