May update #2

Greetings in the matchless name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Greetings from a cool Garissa—the weather here cant be any better and we are enjoying every bit of it.

Thank God for evangelism and discipleship class that we started a few days ago. We are glad that key Christian leaders including pastors from different Churches are trainees in this course. Our desire is that those same leaders will start the same training in their churches after they have graduated.

During the training for the next ten weeks, we will be going out to share the gospel with people around us. It is our hope that a strong spiritual movement will emerge out of this.

Pray for the following:
1 The trainees will be faithful in boldly sharing their faith
2 The trainees will capture different concepts in the training such as follow up, leading discipleship groups, Movement building, Spiritual multiplication, “M” evangelism etc
3 Pray that the trainers will be good models to the trainees
4 Thank God for those that have already come to the Lord through the ministry of the trainees—pray that they will stand firm in the faith
5 Pray for Protection upon us as we will be sharing with “M”. Pray that the truth shall set them through
6 Pray that we will honor God both by our life style and the words of our mouth.

As an organization, we have heard to move from our office. We have decided to relocate to where the School is. This is a temporary measure we are taking. The owner of the place kept increasing rent arbitrarily and we felt like we were not needed there. Being very strong Muslims, they have been uncomfortable having us around and we know that there concern is genuine given the kind of pressure they get from their own people. Pray that we will adapt well in the new environment. Pray that we will get a permanent solution to office problems.

Thank God for what is happening in the refugee camp. We are very glad that over a hundred of the Ethiopian and Sudanese refugees we trained have really been putting into practice what they learnt. Through their ministry, a few “M” have come to the Lord. The latest information I got from the refugees is that majority of them are in the process of being relocated to Canada and other countries. Pray that God will help us raise new laborers continue the good work in the camp.

As a family, we are forever grateful to God for you. As we keep saying, only eternity will reveal the reward God has for you for investing both your time and resources touching lives of people you may not meet this side of eternity.

Shalom

Your commitment to the work of the Lord will pay off even in this life and remember Revelation 22:3 "And there shall be no more curse; but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him."
