Years ago, I thought about what it would be like when I stepped down from our ministry, Little Lambs. Not until now have I really thought much about it. The time has come for me to take that step and I am finding many challenges as the time as come. On the other hand, let me say that it has been a privilege and an honor to work with these children, the Kenyan staff, the National Director for Little Lambs, Machaa Samuel, and Blasto Maina, the National Director for the KPG for 14 years. Serving as the International Director has seen many changes in our program, I'd like to say, hopefully, for the better.
Now we will have new leadership coming on, but he's not a stranger to Little Lambs. Years ago, we asked Doug Gillaspie and his wife, Deb, to think about taking our position with Little Lambs. The answer came back as a no, not now. However, that has recently changed to become a word that is pleasing to hear. I am pleased to announce that Doug Gillaspie will be serving as International Director for Little Lambs starting immediately.
