Justin Rose
Kenya West Territory
Youth Worker

Justin Rose, a soldier from The Salvation Army Mayfair Community Church, has moved to the Kenya West Territory where he will be helping to train youth leaders. Having recently completed his degree in Youth Ministry from North Park University, Justin began praying about the possibility of serving God overseas. As Justin explains, “God has been placing overseas missions on my heart for the last 4 years. I come from a mission-minded family, went to a college that focused heavily on missions, and even had a chance to participate in three mission trips myself, to Ecuador, India, and Chicago. Throughout my experiences with missions, I have felt God leading me and saying that this is something that He wants from me. I decided to go overseas right after college because I can often be all talk and little action, so I decided that God wanted me to attempt it right away before I allowed life to hold me back.”

An opportunity opened up for Justin in Kenya and he decided to pursue that possibility. Over a year later, he has arrived in Kenya West and joined alongside The Salvation Army’s ministry there. Justin has requested prayer for:

• Patience in the tasks set before me
• Wisdom about what I should invest my time in
• Faith that I am where I am supposed to be and that God will use me
• That Kiswahili will come easy for me and that I can speak and understand it
• Strength to pursue each day fully
