 Visit their website.  Read their newsletter

  

Shauen and Krista (Krenzke) Trump serve the Lord as LCMS missionaries in Kenya and Tanzania, where Shauen works with Lutheran church bodies across both countries. Much of Shauen’s work as a mission facilitator involves serving alongside the varied churches in this area by teaching, discipling, and walking alongside each partner according to their needs. He also stands as the primary contact in this area for churches seeking new relationships with the LCMS. Krista currently enjoys her time with Josiah and plans to seek nursing work in Nairobi with opportunities for Christian outreach.
 
Shauen was born in Eureka, Calif., and his home congregation is Resurrection Lutheran Church in Cary, N.C. He received his bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from Seattle Pacific University and his Master of Divinity at Concordia Seminary, St. Louis. Shauen enjoys being a father, camping, traveling, jogging, working in other languages (including software languages), and reading.
 
Krista grew up in Liberia, where her family served as missionaries with Lutheran Bible Translators. She received a bachelor’s degree in Christian outreach from Concordia University, St. Paul, Minn., and a bachelor’s degree in nursing from St. Louis University. Krista previously served through LCMS World Mission as a long-term missionary in Slovakia from 2003 to 2005. She enjoys camping, traveling, entertaining, and cooking. Shauen and Krista were married in June 2007. In 2009, while completing vicarage in Uganda, their son Josiah was born in Kampala.

Prayers

Please pray for the Trumps as they serve the Lord in Kenya and Tanzania. Pray that the Lord would use them as His instruments to encourage and build up God’s church in East Africa. Ask the Holy Spirit to strengthen them and give them wisdom as they study Kiswahili and learn to live in a variety of cultures. Give thanks to the Lord that Shauen and Krista have answered His call to serve Him and the people He loves in East Africa.

Nov 2011 Update

From Nairobi, Kenya, Shauen and Krista Trump and their son Josiah ask for prayers for a successful visit for a new Congregation Partner, New Hope Missions Church of Mooresville, NC, and that the ELCK continue to grow and flourish as a church.  Finally, that we are able to have a recognizable and excellent Thanksgiving celebration.  And they ask for praise and thanksgiving for Ruth, Shauen's Swahili teacher, for Krista's good heathand the health of Baby Trump as he prepares for life outside the wonb, and for the Bible study Krista recently began attending.
