Kennedy April Update

Hi everyone, thanks for keeping up to date with our blog. We really do appreciate any feedback and especially your emails to let us know how you are doing and if there is anything we can pray about for you. I will also try and get some new photos soon!

This has been an amazing semester! We are into the second half and I am so blessed to be here teaching God's word. I am teaching The Book of Hebrews & The Book of Exodus. Both books are a blessing to study and teach and I have wonderful group of students for both. Please keep these classes in your prayers!

I am running a Preaching Class on Monday nights for a group of about 10 students who want to teach. This is a truly wonderful time as I have seen the growth in each of the students and as we are all growing closer to the Lord. Please pray for these young men who are seeking to grow in their teaching gifts and be a blessing to others.

Please continue to pray for Carolyn and I as we are involved in the lives of the students here at the Calvary Chapel York Bible College.

Last Sunday morning I was given the honor of preaching at Calvary Chapel York and so I have attached my message for you to listen to. It is "How to Experience Contentment" and is based on Philippians 4:10-23. I hope and pray it blesses you. Click Here

Please continue to pray for the work going on here at the Bible College. It is wonderful to be a part of it and to see the changed lives of the students.

If God is leading you to support us financially, or you want to keep in touch, please contact us here. snckennedy@gmail.com



Please keep Lindsay in your prayers as he is still struggling with EBV (Chronic Fatigue). He is just back from Hungary after a short visit to help work on a worship album there and is serving as an Intern here at Calvary Chapel York.

Please also pray for our Hungarian friend Akos who is recovering from a stroke. Please pray his recovery will be swift and full.

God bless you

The Kennedys In York 2010

Steve, Carolyn & Lindsay Kennedy

Well hello everyone, thanks for your prayers and encouragement in 2009!


2009 was wonderful year of growing in the Lord. I was blessed with an amazing group of students in my Acts class and here on campus, and was privileged to be able to disciple a couple of the men. What a blessing!

Carolyn blessed us all by baking and cooking for the class throughout the semester and was the "hidden member of the class!" Thanks Carolyn!


Sermons
We have also been blessed by the fellowship here at Calvary Chapel York and I have been honoured to have been given opportunity to teach at the church.

Snow
This Christmas and New Year was a white one. Here is my loving wife Carolyn about to hit me in the head with a snowball!



The Year Ahead - 2010
We are still in York, England, where I will again be teaching at Calvary Chapel York Bible College. We would appreciate your prayers.

This semester I will be teaching the book of Hebrews and the book of Exodus and I will be meeting with a small group of men weekly to pray, study different preachers and give them opportunity to grow in their own teaching/sermon preparation.

Lord willing, I will continue discipling a couple of the men and being involved in encouraging the students at the campus.

Prayer Requests

Pray for the classes this semester.
Pray that Carolyn and I can be a blessing and encouragement to the students on campus.

Please pray for us, as we hope to buy a car soon. Lord willing, this will enable us to visit different Calvary Churches in Scotland and England in order that we may be a blessing and encouragement to the Pastors and churches, and that I may have opportunity to teach.

Pray for the amazing work that God is doing here at Calvary York. The church is such a blessing to be a part of and Pastor Dave and his wife Nancy are a constant source of blessing and encouragement to us. Please keep them in your prayers as Nancy has some medical treatment and as the church goes through a building program this year.

We would appreciate your continued prayers and support this year.

God bless you all, Steve and Carolyn
