Support Letter

Have you ever felt like your life was in fast forward? That is how the last ten months have felt for me. I graduated from Texas Christian University in May 2008 with my degree in Social Work and Spanish. Soon after, I was hired as a Drug and Alcohol Prevention Specialist at REACH Council. A month later, I traveled to Kali, Kenya to help build an orphanage for children who lost their parents due to the AIDS epidemic. A month after that, I began to serve as the Children’s Director at Koinonia Church. As the months flew by, I found myself applying to graduate school, taking a Minister Training Class, trying to box, studying Swahili, leading a Youth Mission trip to a Navajo Reservation…

In August of 2009, I will begin a new chapter of my life. I will attend Nairobi Evangelical Graduate School of Theology in Nairobi, Kenya.

“God has placed NEGST in the heart of Africa to lift up the cross of Christ and seek to provide transformation through godly leadership.” http://www.negst.edu/

In two years, by the grace and strength of God, I will have my Master of Arts in Mission Studies.

“The programme is designed to equip Christian men and women for a local and global missionary task in evangelism, church planting, disciple making and social service.” http://www.negst.edu/

While at NEGST, I will learn more about Christ and be able to effectively proclaim His Gospel. I will learn about, develop and express respect for the African people and their culture. Furthermore, I will be able to formulate Biblical values for the economic development and social progress of Africa while building networks of understanding and partnership between churches and nations. And finally, God will stretch and grow me to be a woman of godly character, loving and serving people all around the world.

How can you help? I am glad you asked! This journey is not about Kelly Krammer, but rather about Christ and what He has planned not only for me, but also for the people of Kenya and… for you!!!

First and foremost: I need prayer! I will have a continual prayer list on the bottom of my blog at http://www.kellynkenya.blogspot.com/.

Secondly, as a student at NEGST and a missionary in Africa, I am required to save and raise enough money to be able live for two full years. With expenses for school, transportation, housing, food, insurance and other basics, I need to have about $27,000 before I leave. Please pray about it and if God moves upon your heart to give to this mission, I would greatly appreciate your gift- large or small. If you would like to make a donation, please email me at kelly.krammer @gmail.com and we will discuss how you might be able to do so!

“We loved you so much that we were delighted to share with you not only the Gospel of God but our lives as well, because you had become so dear to us.” 1 Thessalonians 2:8

Thank you in advance for your support and be blessed,
