This past Sunday at the Livonia Church of Christ we had a guest speaker, Russ Lawson. Russ is a missionary coworker from Kenya. Back in the 1990's we were both supported and overseen by the Livonia church. Russ replaced me in Kisumu after we moved to Nairobi in 1989. While in Kisumu Russ, along with some others, started the World Christian Literature Outreach. It began as an attempt to help young Christians in new churches come to maturity in Christ. When Russ and Melody returned to the States about 1995 Russ, who is a printer, began producing materials here for churches in Kenya and other parts of East Africa. The work has grown and now World Bible School wants to partner with WCLO to distribute these materials around the world to young Christians. I found it very exciting and encouraging to here what the Lord is doing through Russ and this ministry. If you would like to learn more please visit their wedsite: http://www.wclo.net/.
Russ is now trying to raise funds so that they can expland this ministry. The Livonia church has been involved with this work from the beginning and will be taking more of an oversight role in the future. I want to highly recommend this work. God bless you Russ and may He expand your influence.
