Stepping Down...Brings Something Good

Years ago, I thought about what it would be like when I stepped down from our ministry, Little Lambs.  Not until now have I really thought much about it.  The time has come for me to take that step and I am finding many challenges as the time as come.  On the other hand, let me say that it has been a privilege and an honor to work with these children, the Kenyan staff, the National Director for Little Lambs, Machaa Samuel, and Blasto Maina, the National Director for the KPG for 14 years.  Serving as the International Director has seen many changes in our program, I'd like to say, hopefully, for the better.  

Now we will have new leadership coming on, but he's not a stranger to Little Lambs.  Years ago, we asked Doug Gillaspie and his wife, Deb, to think about taking our position with Little Lambs.  The answer came back as a no, not now.  However, that has recently changed to become a word that is pleasing to hear.  I am pleased to announce that Doug Gillaspie will be serving as International Director for Little Lambs starting immediately.

He is very familiar with and dedicated to our program.  He and his wife were on our first two mission trips to Kenya.  He is a leader, level headed, gets along with both Blasto and Machaa, and best of all, he loves these children.  Please welcome Doug Gillaspie as the new International Director of Shepherd's Little Lambs, Kenya.  

I pray you will all give Doug the support that you have given me over the past years.  Please pray for all of the International Board as they start this new adventure with their new leader. 

 Thank you,
