Some of you are aware that Jason spent some time with the Osbournes in Kenya, Africa in 1998. The year before we were married. I so desperately wanted to go, but didn't have the finances. Before Jason went, I don't think he had ever really considered Missions as his calling, but when we returned I was overjoyed to find that he felt as strongly about Africa as I did and we both knew that God would call us to Africa "someday."
Hoyt and Lois have long had an orphanage on their hearts for Kenya because it is heavily riddled with AIDS and many children lose their parents to this terrible disease and are in need of love and care. Their dreams are finally being realized as God has brought some people into their lives who are helping them start the organizing and building of these homes for orphaned children. You can pray for them as they work on these and many other new opportunities for sharing Christ's love in Kenya in practical ways. Pray for Hoyt's health (back problems due to a car accident and Parkinson's Disease) and for their many projects. They go home to Kenya in 7 days. Pray for a safe flight.
Here are some photos of the short, but sweet time we got to spend with them in our home on Sunday. 
Aurelia with her new, fast friend, "Ziggy" (David.)
Jason with two of the boys he got to know while he was in Kenya(Shadrach, Jason, David).
Jason and Hoyt and Lois.
And, no, we still don't know when we're going to Africa. You can pray for us that God will prepare us to go in His perfect timing.
