Ken in Garissa, Kenya - Sept. 19th

Hi Scott,

God is helping us do exploit for his Kingdom. Yesterday, 6 military officers who took several months going through training on evangelism and discipleship graduated at the Garissa military camp. It is good to have this people equiped because thay can take the gospel even in dangerous places---they have been helping us show Jesus film even in hostile places. Once in a while we make use of their helicopter in taking the film to remote places of the province . We were blessed to have the seniormost officers in the region grace the graduation. The 1st attached photo are the graduates and myself, the 2nd attachment are the graduates, officers (including military chaplain) and myself.

On another note, Yesterday,I was privillaged to have Attended a wedding of muslim couple. I had recieved an invitaion by an influencial local leader to attend the wedding of his son---this was a purely muslim affair but Eunice and I were there. Attached photo is the bridegroom, myself, the father and best man.It is amazing what God can do

Update from Ken in Dadaab / Garissa, Kenya



Greetings in the matchless name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Hope you are fine. God is moving in unprecedented manner here.

The graduation of the evangelism and discipleship class on saturday at dadaab refugee camp was great. 113 people graduated from a course that we took them through.Through their efforts, 101 people came to the Lord and are in discipleship groups. Before the graduation ,i had told them to bear fruit by investing their time in evangelism and discipleship. This result is amazing.

There are certain somalis( from Mogadishu) who have been won to the Lord by the same people that we trained---one of them is standing next to me giving testimony when i was preaching in the attached photo.

The story of Ogut (refugee from Gambela--Etrhiopia) is a moving story.I had been given one of the refugee rooms to sleep in next to his room and he was attending the training. He developed some problems that Doctors could not tell since tests had to be done in Nairobi ( i suspected kidney problem because of the swelling legs). While the issue of tests was still being pursued, he died. When his pocket was being checked after his death, the witnessing material we gave him was found in his pocket---he was ready to witness even at the point of death--he died a soldier in the army of the Lord.



Quite a number of people who have given their lives to Christ had opportunity to share about their new found faith during the graduation. God bless you for being apart of what is happening here. We thank God for pullman foursquare church
Attached are pictures that were taken at the camp
