Save the date - September 15, 2012

September 15, 2012 will be a memorable time for Jody Kennedy International.  Save that date.  More will be announced later about something you will not want to miss.

April 9, 2012 - Lord, what are you up to now?

The harvest is plentiful.  Workers are few, but work is abundant.

Just when we think we know what we are to do for the coming years, the Lord challenges us to take a fresh look at "our plans".  Lord, what are you up to now?

Our home and car in Managua were supposed to make us more efficient and effective with our current work load.  Now we just have more work.  Lord, what are you up to now?

We are now being invited to not only bring teams for our Practically Speaking English courses, but to provide our church partners with some seminars, training, conferences and other events and resources.  Lord, what are you up to now?

Then we were visited by our dear friend and mission partner, Joe Wilson, who shares a vision with us to begin a church planting movement among the university age adults in Managua.  We plan to be an ingredient in that mission.  Lord, what are you up to now?

I can see that our expenses will be increasing, but our donations have not increased (yet).  Lord, what are you up to now?  

Lord, what are you up to now? 

He is up to the Father's business, as He has been from eternity past.  Reaching the lost is His business.  Saving the condemned is His business.  Stretching His people to join Him in the Father's business, is His business.

Please consider joining Him and us in the Father's business. 

Pray for us.  Go with us.  GIve to us.

February 1, 2012 - Everything Is the Same, Only Different

Everything Is the Same, Only Different
February 1, 2012

  

One of the joys of teaching English is to see our friends express a sense of humor in English. Our dear friend and ministry partner Josué found the title expression funny. So funny, in fact, that he used it every chance he got.  It came to be a game with him and our team.  Someone would say, "Josue, what's new?"  He would answer with a big smile, "Everything is the same, only different."  Then all would laugh. 

Oddly enough, this strange and oxymoronic expression was true of 2011. While most of our ministry experience was much like past years, there were many new and different episodes in 2011.

We praise the Lord and give Christ all the glory for all He has allowed us to accomplish in 2011. In that year alone, almost 1,000 adults said "yes" to Christ during our Practically Speaking English events in Nicaragua and Russia.
