Ken and Eunice Africa Update 2 - March

We do hope that Easter has provided you with opportunity to reflect on the great price our lord Jesus Christ had to pay for our redemption.
Josh (a friend of mine) and I went to the refugee camp to spend time with the refugees. We organized for the whole Gambela community from Ethiopia to gather for tea and celebrate Jesus. It was just great seeing smiling faces amongst these refugees who have gone through so much. Besides, they are still applying the training we gave them some time back. We have Somali people giving there lives as the Ethiopians apply the training.
Three Somali believers and I—two of them on my left are Somali Bantus. The Two of them are new converts who needs your prayer. They are H and M. Pray for A on my right to continue being fruitful.


This has been my “five star hotel” in the camp over the years—I love the place. The bed is raised floor made of mud—a good way to keep off orthopaedrician.


Tea being made for over two hundred people who attended the Friday meeting at the camp. Josh and I spoke during the three services.


Refugees giving their lives to Christ.



Beautiful Street in the camp.

Keep on praying that the glory of the Lord may cover this region as waters cover the sea.

Blessings
Ken & Eunice

Ken and Eunice Africa Update - March

It is always great to send you update. The past few weeks have been busy but the grace of the Lord has always been sufficient. We thank you for praying for our country. Yesterday, the parliamentarians past the constitutional amendment bill 2008 that will guarantee peace (humanly speaking)—we know that peace that surpasses human understanding can only come from Jesus—the prince of peace.

I decided that I could do something about Muslim children studying under tree at bula secondary---I organized for them to get iron sheets, few timbers and iron nails. Together with my friend Josh who is visiting, we decided to help the villagers in the process. We are likely to finish this project next week so the children can move in. Below is the sequence of events:

Children under tree


We are starting to put the poles up—I am really not an expert but when you are a missionary you can do everything—you know!

Salad—the head man hammering nails

We are just left with putting iron sheets and mud walls.




This morning, I had the privilege of showing hippopotamus in a river half a mile to a visiting friend (Josh). This is the picture he took. This river that is not far from home hosts lots of crocodiles and hippos.

PRAYER POINTS--Josh and I will be traveling to the refugee camp tomorrow—pray for fruitful time

  • Pray that we will be able to finish building the class so that the children studying under tree may move inside
  • Pray for Josh as he speaks this Friday at refugee camp and garissa teachers training college this Sunday
  • Pray that children in our school may come to the knowledge of the truth
  • Pray for all the workers with life ministry that they will live spirit filled lives and be focused in making Christ known.
  • Pray for my discussion with one of the most influential Muslim here who has given me a challenge: he wants me to bring the Bible and he brings the Quran for us to know which is the truth. He seemed to think that I can become a Muslim—pray that the lord who revealed himself to Saul on his way to Damascus may reveal himself to “M’
  • Pray for God to help us raise a spiritual movement that will see many coming to the fold of the master.
  • Pray for the glory of the Lord to cover the land as waters cover the sea.

May the Lord’s face shine upon you
