Bungoma jail opens up?

Only yesterday I received news that an opportunity to minister may have come up in a prison at a place called Bungoma. A minister who is an acquaintance of mine ministered there several months ago and saw many hundreds confess Christ as their Lord and Saviour. Now he has told me he may be able to get me permission to go into that same prison to minister while I am in Kenya.
Bungoma is close to the Ugandan border and within an hours drive of Eldoret. This is a fantastic opportunity if it comes to pass. Please pray for me regarding the situation, for God's leading and purposes to come to pass. God is able to open doors no man can shut, even prison doors.

The church in Eldoret.

Initially the trip to Kenya was for a church in Nairobi {more about that soon} but later I received an invitation to minister at a pentecostal church in the eastern city of Eldoret in the Rift valley. The church is called 'Gospel Fire' and has been there for several years and is pastored by Joseph Karanja. Joseph has battled against incredible odds to keep the church going. He was once part of a small pentecostal denomination and was planted out in Eldoret to start a new church. Because of political divisions within the movement he and his church lost their building but continued to meet in the open air.
Around 400 people until recently made up the congregation but because of the violence after the elections many of them have had to flee for their lives. The church was also ransacked along with Pastor Karanja's home. Despite this Joseph's ministry continues unabated and he has also managed to plant out a few other churches in the last few years in Kenya.
Despite setbacks which would have seen some give up in despair, the church continues and reaches out to the people of Eldoret seeing people come to salvation and others miraculously healed. The gospel fire church really is a story of triumph over adversity.
