Mimosa Lane Baptist Kenya Report – November 9, 2009
Posted on November 9, 2009 - Filed Under Mission Reports | Leave a Comment
I know that you think I am crazy when I keep saying that each day is better than the day before. However, it is Monday night, and we had a fantastic day. This morning, we went up in the bush country to a village where Charlie had never done ministry. An elder stopped him on the mountain one day, and asked him to come to his village. Charlie told him he would bring us today if they would cut us a path through the trees so that we could get the vehicles there. Well, we did the water purification systems training and distribution and the children’s activities for over 100 children. Then, we went from hut to hut doing evangelism and had 57 people pray to receive Christ including some of the elders and some of the young warriors.
We then went to another village up in the mountains where a ministry has been established. In fact, some of them came all the way down to Maralal to attend our church service yesterday. We did the water purification systems training and distribution and the children’s activities for about 150 children. Then, we begin meeting with some of the folks who had not yet accepted Christ. Thirty two people prayed to receive Christ in this village.
WOW…what a day–89 people won to Christ! Charlie will now work at establishing a ministry point at the first village and after doing training on baptism, he will have the privilege of baptizing these new converts.
Tomorrow, we leave for the Lake Nakuru area and will have the opportunity to be on safari (our one day of rest) on Wednesday prior to traveling to Nairobi for the long flight back home on Thursday & Friday. Please pray that we will have the opportunity to share Christ many times at Lake Nakuru.
This evening, we tearfully said good-bye to our translators and presented them with a love offering our team had collected for them. They have walked with us for five days as we have seen almost 200 persons won to Christ, have distributed 101 water systems, and have ministered to literally hundreds and hundreds of children.
We love you, Mimosa Lane, and attribute much of what the Lord has accomplished over the last week to your prayers…
Bob & Team
