Mimosa Lane Baptist Kenya Report – November 8, 2009
Posted on November 8, 2009 - Filed Under Mission Reports | Leave a Comment
Well, it is Sunday night (by the way, we are nine hours ahead here), and when we think that God cannot bless more than the day before (such as baptizing 19 folks in the river yesterday), He shows us that He can bless even more. This morning, Karen, Carolyn, and Ashley taught over 100 children in Sunday School. We were blessed as the ladies taught the children “Jesus Loves Me” in English with sign language for one of the activities. Then, we began worship at 10:30 AM and finished at 2:00 PM (don’t get any ideas, Rocky). We were here at Maralal Baptist Church that seats about 150 and has normal attendance of about 40. However, people from villages we have been visiting walked for miles, and we had over 800 people. The building was completely full including isles packed and folks looking in windows, and seated outside just outside the windows so they could hear.
I was blessed to have the opportunity to preach the message and had people seated all around and behind me. At the end of the message, the pastor and I extended an invitation, and 33 people were counseled with and prayed to receive Christ!! So, after praying with them, the praise and worship started again, praising God for these new children of His and continued into the afternoon.
We have completed 50 more water systems for visiting two villages back up in the mountains tomorrow…we will also again do children’s ministry and one-on-one evangelism. Please be in prayer for us as the trips to the villages tomorrow will again be physically quite hard. Tomorrow is our last day in this area as we head to the Lake Nakuru area on Tuesday, then back to Nairobi on Wednesday to fly out on Thursday for the two day flight home, arriving on Friday evening.
We just continue to be amazed at the folks hunger for the gospel and the Samburu Christians’ love for the Lord…
Bob & Team
