Ryan and Jayme Kuenkel were married in December of 2005. Together they surrendered their lives to God, not yet knowing what His plan would be. They began serving God in student ministries at Grace Baptist Church, Mason Ohio. In 2008 they were blessed with their first little girl, Eden, and then in 2010 they were blessed with Lillian. They have enjoyed the learning process of being parents. The Kuenkels are a part of a team of believers from Grace Baptist Church. Their passion is to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with the Kenyan people. Through the local church, they will be establishing various methods of ministries in efforts to reach the Kenyan people more effectively. An area of ministry near to the hearts of Ryan and Jayme is to start a youth camp in the city of Mombasa. This camp will serve a variety of different purposes in efforts to reach the neglected youth in Kenya. Please pray for the Kuenkels in their pre-field ministry as they work to get to the field of Mombasa, Kenya.

a little piece of paradise

on may 13th we started on a road trip to ft. walton beach, fl - the reason was for my cousin's wedding, but we also made a family vacation out of it too! my parents, brother, sister and her husband and our family all stayed in a condo together-it was wonderful to have a nice, relaxing week with my family. the weather was great. we were able to just walk out of the condo right to the beach or the poolside-whatever mood we were in that day! the week went by way too fast-as we headed back to "real life" on the 20th!

eden loves rocky-she loves to pet him and pull on his fur-its so cute. rocky hates every minute of it but he still lets her! he's such a good little guy.

it is a sad time for our family-it has come to the point where we have to give rocky away. when it comes time to move, we are unable to take him with us. once we start traveling more it would not have worked out anyway-so we would have had to do it sometime-it's just sad to have to do it at all.

i know he will be much happier with another family that loves him and gives him the attention he deserves but we just can't give him right now with being so busy.

we love you rocky!!

moving time

the time has come - we are taking the next step, just one more closer to kenya. we are moving out of our condo into ryan's parent's basement. they have a nice finished basement with two bedrooms and a big bathroom. it is a nice little area.

so this week has been crazy busy with packing and moving. tomorrow is our official moving day when we will be moving just about everything that is left out.

we are so thankful for the generosity of the kuenkels and their willingness to allow us to live in their basement.

pics of the new place to come! :)
