Hi Larry and Francine, so good to read about you in Kitale. We sure miss your smiling faces at K.C.C. but know that the Lord is with you and you are where He wants you to minister. We are praying for you, for health and protection.
Love you both. Larry and Sandy
Larry & Francine – thank you so much for your blog. It is great to hear about your work there and all that is going on. Please know we are praying for your continued safety and health. So exciting to hear about the provision of a vehicle!

Thanks, it means so much over here. I miss sitting with Sandy and having coffee, and seeing you at the visitors booth, with that big smile and warm handshake.
Love what you guys are doing. The photos of the children are beautiful, may have to print some off if possible to share at our xmas party next week with my coworkers/bosses to go with our donation again this year. A quick blurb from you guys with your recent progress would be muchly appreciated with regards to the street school as well Francine that you were mentioning needed help…still haven’t seen that photo?? Your help is appreciated, on my end and on behalf of everyone here and in Africa. xo

God bless you guys real good.
Leviticus 26:7 “and ye shall chase your enemies and they will fall before you by the Sword”.
You are doing such an awesome work there in Kenya. The enemy is withdrawing on every side. You have been armed to the teeth. Keep speaking the Sword. Great battles bring great victories. Without you having deployed to Kenya, the Kingdom would have suffered much damage. Your presence was requested by the King Himself. You have great value and worth in His sight.
2Kings 13:14—”You are the Chariot of Kenya and the Horsemen thereof”
Larry and Frannie, I have just finished reading through all your blog posts. I loved them all and savoured every word. I am very interested in spending time with you when you come home in November. On the 8 hour drive home from Calgary last week, I started to feel a real passion, desire and call to get more connected with you and the work you are doing in Kitale. I will continue to pray for you and for God’s leading as to what He is wanting me to do. Love you both, Joanne
Thanks Jo. It is very encouraging to know the Lord is prompting you, not only that your kids should accompany you two, but that we may be blessed working alongside you.
in Him Larry
You are truly on Gods assignment, I have been following your progress, God bless you all for your work
Been praying for you. Daily Bread August 25 – If God sends you on stony paths, He will provide you with strong shoes. Praying for strong shoes for our dear friends. His grace IS sufficient!!
Hi Larry and Francine: We pray for you daily and miss you lots. Soon we will see your smiling faces agaiin. Keep up the good work to the end God’s blessings Ruth and Dan
GOoD work. walkinng in the light with the presemce of Christ, in the authority that comes with His Holy Spirit, will accomplish all our KINGdom plan has for You and your team. I bless you with the frame of mind to focus that you are light. Turn on the light in a dark room, like a restaurant, and all the cockroaches and silver fish run to hide in darkness. I pray a blessing that your focus is on light, giving no thought to the power of evil. Wherein there is no anxoiusness. Blessing that the Grace of our Lord, love of Father and fellowship (communion) with Holy Spirit be in the front of your thoughts.
With love. Go Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah shalom, and Jehovah shammah, Jehovah Rapha

Hey Larry and Francine. We are still praying for you regularly and miss you terribly. The Lord has made you a great blessing to Kenya and to all those you have helped and led into His marvelous light. We are all looking forward to seeing you soon. Get ready for a little return culture shock. May our Lord strengthen you and give you clear direction for what lies ahead. Love Dave and Marguerite
Hi Larry and Francine – I was up visiting Deb Ashe a couple of weeks ago in Vanderhoof and she told me about what you guys were doing. I think it is wonderful the sacrifices you are making in your lives to better others. You make an amazing team and were obviously meant to be together – fate is an amazing thing. Hope all is well and things are going as planned. Larry – I wanted to let you know that unfortunately Laurie Payne my twin passed away September 23/11. She passed quickly and is now at peace with my Mom. I wanted you to know as Laurie truly thought the world of you. We are having a memorial for her in Vernon August 11/2012 so maybe we will see each other as I will be in Kelowna. Take care and Merry Christmas to you, Francine and Jazz !
Peace – Love Linda Payne
Hi Linda,
So nice to hear from you. I am just getting around to checking the mail on my blog. Been settling back into our house, presenting reports/presentations, and Jaz has been with us for the past 12 days. He is up with his honey, and proposed to her last week, while here at home. How cool eh? You said Laurie’s memorial is in August 2012, is that correct? Fran and I are planning to return to Kenya for another three years. We hope to be ready to return in April. How have you been? and how is your daughter? What has been happening with you and your partner ( sorry i forgot her name) ?
Well happy new years and may the Lord’s favor always go before you, sorry for your loss.
love larry (Franny sends her condolences)
Thanks, Larry for sharing in our HCS chapel today and inviting our school to this year’s KCC mission weekend. Bless you, Paul
