Patriarchal Ministry to Kenya

Dear Saints,

Greetings fellow laborers in Christ! We come with joy to let you know of a marvelous opportunity that has opened up for patriarchal ministry in Kenya. It has been quite a few years since this type of ministry has been available there. The saints in Kenya asked, if at all possible, could a patriarch come to provide patriarchal blessings.

Their request has been granted and the Lord has paved the way for Patriarch Mike Ballantyne to go.

But we need your help to make it a reality. The Conference of Restoration Elders has a small fund for Patriarchal ministry, but not enough funds for travel expenses and some costs for the stay in Kenya. If branches, as well as individuals, can also assist, some of the Saints in East Africa will have the opportunity to receive a patriarchal blessing. If you can assist the Lord’s work in this way, please make your checks payable to the CRE/Patriarch Fund.

Mail them to:
Ray Lane, CRE Treasurer
3923 Buckner Tarsney Road
Sibley MO 64088

Of more importance than our plea for funding is the need for consistent prayer. Please begin now to pray that the Lord will continue to bless this ministry. We also would ask branches and/or individuals to arrange for consistent prayers—one person praying in the morning hours, another in the afternoon, and a third person praying in the evenings. Mighty blessings can come from such a devoted effort. When the dates for this ministry are finalized, we will let you know.

Saints, we very much appreciate your support.

God Bless,
Lyle Smith
