Sunday in Eldoret

Sunday in Eldoret consisted of two back to back services which went well. It was a bit strange after all the experiences with the Bungoma team to be with a different group of people but it was still good. Two young men committed their lives to the Lord and we saw one healing as well. Carrying on with the theme of the names and titles of Jesus I preached on 'The Lion of the tribe of Judah' and Peter's statement in Matthews gospel chapter 16 'You are the Christ, the Son of the living God'.
One of the young men who came to salvation had been involved in drug abuse in the past. {I just happened to share an account of a couple some years back who were addicted to herion who came to the Lord- I don't believe this was a coincidence} The man who came yesterday for prayer is no longer involved in drugs but they have damaged his eyesight. When I held a certain number of fingers up before him he could only count them until I was 2 metres away. We prayed for him but with no results...yet. Please pray for this man.
A young lady came for prayer for a problem she has had for 4 months now. She can walk but quite slowly and cannot run. When we prayed for her she seemed to improve slightly. Please pray that God would grant her total healing.
Tonight I will be ministering on 'Christ, the Corner stone' with an emphasis on the church being as living stones {1 Peter}. I haven't finished it yet and have a lot of notes which I need to put together to build a cohesive message. Please pray for this also and that the church would be encouraged and edified by it.

God bless you...Steve
