The Stickneys - Back online!

Be sure to check out the link to hear about the ministry from the perspective of the college interns!

ACO Partners,
We have had a problem getting email out the past few weeks. It seems the country's internet cable in the port city of Mombasa was cut by a fisherman dropping his anchor where he wasn't suppose to. Another funny reminder we live in East Africa! Hoping this email makes it out to all of you and if it does we'll follow it up with a proper update. 

Until then, please check out a blog post that one of our Summer Interns from the US wrote:http://cheerfulcambry.blogspot.com/2013/07/blind-faith-story-doesnt-end-here.html

PRAYER REQUESTS:

1. Universities & Colleges start again these next 3 weeks. Our staff and key students will be traveling between campuses to help with orientation and getting campus staff a head start on meeting new students. 
        Pray for safety as these groups travel. 
        Pray for them as they canvas the campus, sharing the Gospel and connecting with new students.
        Pray for our campus staff that remain behind as they follow-up with the contacts made

2. Our staff & key students begin this weekend on the coast. We just recieved word from our US Embassy contact and World Bank that there are immanent threats of violence from Al Shabab this coming week in retaliation for an event that happened last year at this time. Pray that our group is covered with a hedge of protection from any such events.

3. Begin praying for Tom as he will be traveling to the US in late September to start recruiting students for the 2014 Summer Program.

Blessings
