Revival is comin our way!




Just a quick update and some pictures! Sunday’s service was awesome! It really was magnificent! Actually to be honest absolutely everyday at the church has been wonderful! No matter what day it is, if you turn around somebody is praying with someone for salvation! We have had so many new converts giving their lives to Jesus and breaking all kinds of chains off their lives! One man that walked in about 6 hours after service had ended on Sunday afternoon was a thief. When he was young he hadn’t intended to turn to the dark side but was peer pressured into it. All of his “buddies in crime” had died and he had been searching for a new life! One of the young men in our church began witnessing to him the moment he stepped on our property and within 10 minutes my father was praying with him for salvation! Also the Masai tribe that we have had coming to our church, they are the ones in the picture with our family, it is a blessing and a miracle to have them in our church! None of the other churches in Kenya have Masai and all wish they did! Masai are wonderful people but usually they are stuck in their ways! We have had an entire group of Masai saved and coming ever Sunday!

Right across the field from our church is the “Bar District!” I mean this place has more bars standing right next to each other than you would believe a slum in the middle of Kenya could have! Every day we have so many drunk guys walking onto the church grounds. Some of them grab one rock, carry it the distance everyone else is, drop it then walk off. Others stay all say long! One man came to church Saturday morning to help drunk, left for lunch, came back drunk, then went home still not sober that night and at 9:00 in the morning when he came to church he had managed to already have gotten drunk again! He is gonna get saved though, I know it!

We really are in the right place for revival and a multitude of souls to be transformed inside out! The land is getting so much better everyday! They put the fence up today and with so many people coming in, My Uncle Dustin and Aunt Rachelle, Pastor Sanchez, Pastor Gould, Rick and April Webb, and a few more I know this is going to be a rockin’ summer! I can’t wait to update you all on more! Consider this the preamble to this summer’s occurring events in Nairobi! Lots of love!
