Jambo and Karibu!!!!!!!!!
We have been in Kenya for two weeks now and just over a week in Bungoma! Our ministry here has been such a blessing and God is soooo Good!!! One of my favorite ministries is still “house visits!” and today God has taught me another lesson! A lesson that seems to be repeating, because for some reason I can never get it through my thick skull!! (as my mother always says!) hahaha
So, we are doing home visits today. The first couple homes we come to, they are believers and it’s great!! We talk with them, laugh, joke, pray and have a great time!! So we continue on down the road to another little house and the moment we walk up, it felt very strange and something didn’t sit right at all… The people kept lying to us, about God, salvation, themselves…. I shared the gospel with a lady who claimed she was a Christian and the moment I finished she got up and just walked off… Then, a few of them said they didn’t need or want any prayer. and when we were leaving they began to shout at us for not staying and praying with them, it was very strange and very discouraging…
THEN!!!!!
We continue on down the road and come to a few more little house. When we walk up, there are three people sitting there and Margie, Brook and our translator begin talking with them. To be honest, I’m still bothered and kind of in a daze with what happened, I didn’t really want to say anything and just figured I would pray quietly and let Margie and Brook do all the talking this time… So, as they are talking, we find out none of them are believers and both Margie and Brook turn to me and basically say ‘John speak” (lol) So, as we start talking with them and sharing the Good News, people just start walking up and now there are about 10people sitting around… It was awesome, they didn’t come and interupt or anything, they just came, sat down and started listening… To make a long story short, they all wanted to pray to accept Christ as their Savior!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was awesome!!! Satan knew what was around the corner, hearts that were prepared and ready to ask Jesus Christ into their lives and satan tried what he could to silence the Good News, but God is Good and as long as we persevere and surrender to Him, His will will be done and His Kingdom will be glorified!!!!! Amen!!!!!
Thank you for all your support and prayers and not to mention all the birthday wishes!!!
Until next time, In Him!
