Yes, wife and I are 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.

Thank you for any support you can send!

It sure does.
Just don't be the person that thinks they can make a difference with a laptop, malaria pills, and good attitude.

Kenya update:
We bought our airline tickets. That's the one single biggest expense of the trip, and that hurdle is overcome. We're flying on Qatar Airways through Doha, Qatar.
Fundraising continues as we need to pay for in country travel and lodging, plus conference materials, but we are committed to going!

We leavev July 21st and return August 3rd.
At present, we are raising money to pay for immunizations. About $350 each.
This is all incredibly exciting ...
but 99% of the people here would not believe ANY of my testimony
of my 10 evangelizing trips to Eastern Europe.
Such is the deplorable condition of the Western churches today.
UNBELIEF in God's word, ALL of which is for today,
is preventing the presence of the precious Holy Spirit.
Why wouldn't we believe that you went on ten mission trips ?
My testimony is not that I went on 10 trips!
Even the summary is about 5 pages long!
And on this screwed up site,
it would go on and on for 20 pages.
Summarize and condense - make the main points
I know you well enough to know that you have an agenda,
i.e. you are CLOSED to anything that is against
what you have brainwashed to believe.
You might even be one of Satan's henchmen
who he places at the doors of all Christian forums ...
to confuse and distract true believers away from spiritual Truth.
How can anyone who has the indwelling Holy Spirit
reject spiritual Truths the way you and others do?
How is this possible?
One innocent way for this to be possible is
if one is just too deceived to be OPEN to the Truth.

Are you talking about a testimony of miracles and healings, etc.?
Of course, I am ...
not to be confused with ...
Of course, I AM (God), which Jesus said multiple times.
God never changes (Malachi).
Jesus remains the same (Hebrews 13:8).
The Holy Spirit performs signs-wonders-miracles today,
but not where there is a ton of UNBELIEF.
So, He is doing it today in foreign nations
where there is NOT a ton of UNBELIEF.
Now, please go and tell your pastor, priest, etc.
But, be prepared to be laughed at to your face.

I thought so, but was making sure since you referred to it as a testimony. A testimony is a testament, representing the death of the testator. So physical healings and miracles, etc. are secondary to the true healing and miracle of salvation.
There are signs and wonders and miracles where there is unbelief, or there would be none. Man doesn't cause such things. All faith comes from God.
And He is doing it today in our own nation.
Why? I'm a Biblical Continuationist, so this is nothing new.
You sound as if you're a Third Wave Charismatic, though. You didn't once mention the miracle of salvation; only physical things.
I seek God's face AND His hand, not only His hand. Why the emphasis on physical healing, and the omission of spiritual healing as salvation?
