Yes, I am actually going to Kenya. We may have a chance to see lions and tigers, but our primary purpose is to teach a marriage conference.
You see, in Kenya, marriage is traditionally about strengthening one's tribe and procreation and less about Love and Respect. Our purpose in going to Malindi, Kenya is to help couples there see biblical values in marriage, and to help pastors prepare young people for marriage by giving them some pre-marriage counseling and teaching tools to help young couples Love and Respect each other.
In fact, the conference name is "Love & Respect."
I am participating with an organization that has been working in east Africa for several years (www.surprisedbyhope.org), whose primary mission is to teach Christians how to operate businesses to support themselves using biblical principles. Leslie (primary missionary for Surprised by Hope) has been asked by several pastors to come to Malindi to teach them more about biblical marriage.
If you want to help me out financially, you can give a (tax deductible) gift through their website, under the "Giving" tab by clicking on the "Love & Respect mission" button, or by sending a check to their US address. They are registered as a 501c(3). In either case, if you note that this is going to help Michael Faber, it will go towards my trip.
If anyone is given wisdom from God regarding my trip, I will most certainly listen. Presently, I am scheduled to teach on the 5 Love Languages, and on basic personality types and how they communicate, and how best to communicate with them.
