Storms,Sickness and souls saved

Tuesday evening in Kisumu threatened to be a washout. We got near the end of the open air song service and the heavens opened. The rains continued unabated until we decided to carry on anyway, sheltering under someones porch. The Wednesday morning event was put off until evening as something I ate had a bad effect on me {I won't go into any more details on that one!}.

By the evening however I was feeling fine, the sun was out and we had one last meeting. It went superbly. A good crowd gathered to hear the singing and by the end of the sermon when I asked for people to come forward for prayer a group of people came forward including many small children that had gathered when they heard the music. The group of children must have been aged around 4 to 8 and I didn't want to disregard them so at the end we prayed for them first. We asked them how many of them believed in Jesus and most of them put their hand up. {I'm hoping there has been a good seed sown for the future in their lives. One young boy couldn't have been more than five and was unwell and in pain so we prayed for him in the presence of all the other children who gathered round closely to see what would happen. All the pain went straight away and my interpreter questioned the boy to make sure he was healed. He was completely serious. He felt no pain at all and he had been unwell for some time.

We saw four more people come to the Lord making a total of eight in Kisumu and 24 during the mission in total so far. Please pray for everyone that has made a decision for Christ that they would follow through with that commitment. We also visited the neighbour of the Kisumu church pastor to pray for her after the event. She wants to see her husband come to the Lord. She is also without work and needs employment and her mother and sister are unwell. {Her mother is still in hospital}

Today is a free day as we travel back to Eldoret. Then on Friday I am involved in a leaders seminar in Bungoma {You really need to pray for that one because I have never done anything like this!} followed by an evening revival service. Saturday will be an all day seminar followed by an evening revival service and Sunday will be the prisons ministry in Bungoma.

God bless you....Steve
