Special
Announcement from the Huebners
Greetings
from hot, dry, dusty…but beautiful Kenya.
In
the Southern Hemisphere we are nearing the end of the summer months and are looking
forward to the rain and planting season. In the Huebner family, we are nearing
the end of a 3-year commitment to Rohi and are looking forward to a new season. We wanted to write to you personally and tell
you that while we are very happy in our roles at Rohi and we feel our mission
has been a great success, we also feel God leading us on a different path.
Rohi
has now entered its 7th year of operation. What started as a small
home and school with just 45 boys has expanded to include a primary school, a
high school, and almost 300 children. It is an amazing testimony of what God
can do through willing people. And Rohi
has prospered greatly during our stay…not because of us but because of Him.
Between
now and the end of July (when our son Brian graduates from Rift Valley
Academy), our plan is to
help transition Kenyans into our positions and responsibilities. Then in August we will head home for some much
needed rest and relaxation; a furlough if you will. At that time we also plan to establish a small
‘home base’ from where we can continue working in the missions ministry. We will share more information about what we
will be doing next as we get closer to our departure from Rohi. We will tell you this though. God has really placed a burden for girls and
young women on our hearts for the last couple of years. Our future plans will include ministry to the
often forgotten girls in the third world.
Look for more about this in the near future.
For
now, we want to thank you for the opportunity to serve on your behalf. We also want to remind you that we’re not
gone yet. Please keep your support (both
financial and spiritual) coming. We will
need it more than ever in the future months.
We have loved our work and we love the Kenyans that we work with. We will miss this place more than you can
know, but we look forward to what doors the Lord will open next.
May God
bless you and keep you,
Denny,
Susan, Brian, and Anna Huebner

Note from Pastor
Steve Madsen, Rohi Board Chairman and Senior Pastor of Cornerstone Fellowship
This coming
July, Denny and Susan Huebner (and their son Brian and daughter Anna) will wrap
up and complete three incredible years of service to the Rohi Children’s
organization in Nakuru, Kenya. The Lord has touched and blessed many
through the Huebners’ many sacrifices and their servant’s hearts. We are
deeply grateful and appreciative of their dedicated service and spiritual
impact which began in 2006 and will continue on even as Denny and Susan
transition into a new season of their ministry lives. Their gifting and
efforts have helped to strengthen Rohi’s operations and positioned Rohi to
succeed in carrying out its vision for the future. Join with us in
honoring the Huebner family and lifting them up in prayer as they discover both
God’s will and direction in the months ahead.
Consistent
with Rohi missionary practices, we want to note that for those of you who
financially support the Huebners, it is a customary practice for missionaries
returning from the field to continue receiving support for approximately three
months. This transitional support will help with costs as they resettle and
evaluate new ministry roles. In the case of the Huebners, this is
anticipated to be through the end of October 2009. Cornerstone will be
helping the Huebners through this time of transition and change; we hope that
you will be able to do so as well. Thank you again for being a key part
of the Huebners’ ministry and God’s work in Kenya.
