1. Still going to Kenya:<\/strong> The Lord has kept the door open for me to travel to Kenya, teach at Africa Theological Seminary (ATS)\u2014for four months a year\u2014and work remotely with students and research from the USA\u2014for eight months a year.<\/p>\n

2. Family times:<\/strong> What is not to love about time with a new grand-baby? In addition, I am thankful for times with our moms, kids, and their significant others. (Albeit there were some challenging discussions.)<\/p>\n

3. Support account only slightly in the red:<\/strong> This year, our support account is only a few hundred dollars in the negative. A huge thank you to our supporters. In the last few years, it was thousands of dollars in the negative. (Those interested in giving can visit: cox-net.com\/get_involved.htm<\/a>)<\/p>\n

4. Teaching assistants:<\/strong> I had two wonderful teaching assistants this year. They were a blessing to the students and me. Lord willing, they can continue their studies and development; this will better equip them to develop the next generation of leaders.<\/p>\n

5. Donna’s impact at UNT:<\/strong> Through Donna’s role as an advisor at the University of North Texas, she can help students navigate their degree plans and life.<\/p>\n

6. Working with college students:<\/strong> Donna and I are blessed to be involved with our church’s college ministry. We regularly bake for them, entertain students in our home, meet for breakfast, and mentor them.<\/p>\n

7. Peaceful elections in Kenya:<\/strong> In past elections, there was the loss of life and property. Praise God that the 2022 elections were peaceful.<\/p>\n

8. New opportunities with ATS in 2023:<\/strong> Donna and I have been praying about new opportunities with ATS in 2023 and are excited about the possibilities. More on this is coming soon.<\/p>\n

9. Trips to Rwanda and West Africa:<\/strong> I am thankful for two successful trips beyond Kenya this year. One to Rwanda to help license a student and one to West Africa to help TWR. (Although this made it a travel-intense year.)<\/p>\n

10. New Adjunct teacher for ATS:<\/strong> This year, the Lord opened the door for me to introduce a fantastic adjunct faculty member to ATS<\/p>\n
