It has been a blessing to miniter in this villages around Western Kenya, and Eastern Uganda. The hassles have been greater, the attacks by the enemy became more intense, But thank God the victories were sweeter, and the fruit far more abundant than I have ever seen. Ministry there is a draining experience. I usually return with little voice left, emotionally wrung out, physically weak, but immensely gratified, having seen the amazing work of the Holy Spirit one more time.
Such was the case of our last week evangelistic mission to Chetambe village not very far from Webuye. We have been preparing, fasting and praying for this mission since January, Pastors Kamau and Tambwe who are respected gospel artists joined us for this great event. My dad was admitted to Webuye hospital and so much was going on around us, we discovered that the devil was out to fight us and stop this meeting. having sensed this I mediately wrote to our prayer partners to join us in Prayer and God healed my dad before the mission begun giving us good time for the mission.
God led us safely to this place on Wednesday at around 3pm. We scattered around the Open ground where we were going to hold the meetings and begin praying and anointing the place in readness of what the Lord was gOIng to do. On Thursday we divided the missioners we went from house to the next house evangelizing and welcoming people in the evening meetings, this was done for all the days that we were there.
The Open Air Campaigns were so fruitful and always begun at 4pm and ended at 7pm, The Intercessory team was ready at the ground as from 3pm praying and interceeding. The worship team was ready at the stage as from 4pm. People begun coming at the meeting others going home from the work stoped by to hear the word, God was so great and we saw great harvest, many souls coming to the Lord, We had bought 500 New testaments and 500 gospel of John booklests , By Saturday evening we had given out all of this books and we did not have enough books to give out on Sunday, We kindly request your prayers as we promised to give to those who got saved on Sunday the Swahili New testaments. We therefore urgently need 200 New Testament Bibles, 200 gospel of John booklets. 1 New Testamnt costs $ 1 and the gospel of John booklet costs $ 0.5. This will help this people grow.
In total 789 got saved during this week, The New Believers class was immediately introduced by Pastor Steve on Sunday evening, The pastors in the area who had teamed up to invite us for the meetings, agreed to follow up and send the New believers who will have joined their churches in this discipleship class everu Sunday evening after the normal sunday service.
Continue praying for us and for those New believers.Also continue praying for the upcoming meetings, we will keep you updated.
Peter had so much to tell the people who had come to see what was happening in Jerusalem, He delivered his very first public sermon and pointing to them from Joel about what will happen in the last days. He later pointed them to Jesus and told them how Jesus came for them but they killed Him, Showing them plainly that Jesus was Christ, He was living. It was a great blessing to see people respond to the message with the 3,000 people turning a way from their past life and giving their lives to Jesus. That was the beginning of the church.
We are taskedto reach out to all, point to them that this are the last days, point to them Jesus Christ, and lead them to salvation. We are therefore calling all of you to partner with us to Reach out.
