July update from Ken Ochieng in Garissa, Kenya

We hope that you are safe in the hands of the master. It is unusually cold in this place. It is amazing that people can use blankets here—under normal circumstances we don’t cover ourselves.

We had a successful time on sunday as I taught at Garissa Teachers College. My subject was on obedience and I am thankful to God that many confessed they were blessed by the message. It is time to submit fully to the will of the master. It is time to cross the line---no more waffling and wavering.

We intend to distribute fifty-four water pumps this week. We will also distribute seeds—maize, beans. We desire to inculcate in the people a culture of working hard with their hands rather than waiting for handout.

I am looking forward this week to taking people through appropriate agricultural practices this week. I used to wonder why God took me to the University to learn about Agriculture only for me to be called as a missionary—now I know that he is a God of purpose. He doesn’t let anything go to waste (twelve baskets of bread from a miracle was never thrown away}.
Pray for the mission to Daddaab refugee camp this August—I will be going there to train the refugees on how they can become spiritual multipliers everywhere they go—I need seventy two hours for classes and a few days of practical if the training is to be succeful.

We thank God that you have accepted him to use you to be a blessing in this part of the world. May the Lord continue to increase pullman four square church as they reach out to people they may never meet this side of eternity.
