Last two days - Many more come to Christ.

Wednesday...

After a lunchtime meeting at the church I visited first in Mombasa we went to a small open air meeting at the Exodus church in Port Reitz. The meeting overlooked the Indian Ocean. {Or at least I did. Everybody else had to make do with looking at me!} The meeting ended with a call for prayer which several people responded to and we saw three people experience immediate healings. Please pray for a young girl of about 5 or 6 years old we prayed for. She has mental health problems and we are hoping God will bring healing to her life also.
The evening ended with a visit to Salem Church nearby which ended up being a superb meeting. They are a young but quickly growing church and over 30 turned up for this midweek meeting. We saw 5 people recieve healing.

Thursday...

This is the last day of ministry and it proved to be a very fruitful one. We spent the morning going form house to house through the slums and three people gave their lives to the Lord. We also had the chance to visit some of the local pastors and their families in their homes and pray for them, their families and ministries. In the afternoon we headed to the co-operative crafts area of Mombasa where we saw hundreds of workers hand crafting traditional items. It is a huge area and we spent the next few hours going from shed to shed spending some minutes in each and preaching the gospel. We prayed for a woman who had suffered from head pains and stomach ulcers for three years and was immediately healed and also another woman who had been suffering from headaches for the last two days who was also healed. Some of the groups of workers we preached to asked me to pray for God's blessing on their business {times are tough at the moment} and we saw a total of 26 people give their lives to Christ {in front of their co-workers as well}

It has been a wonderful 5 weeks and we have seen many great things. God has been faithful. When I planned this trip it seemed impossible but God has helped greatly, even [and especially} when their were unexpected setbacks before I left England. I estimate that there have been well over 100 people put their faith in Jesus and others rededicate their lives to Him as well as the many who have expressed their appreciation and said these meetings were a great source of spiritual strength to them. There were also aroun 100 miraculous healings {not including the ones I haven't even heard of yet} and even a deliverance from demon possession. I feel preached out, prayed out and tired out but it was more than worth it. Tommorrow I fly back to Nairobi and then late on Friday evening my flight for the U.K via Dubai takes off. I should be back in the the midlands by Saturday afternoon.

Please keep those people I've mentioned in your prayers and thankyou to all of you who have supported this mission with your prayers and financial support. You will undoubtedly hear from me again soon.

Thankyou and God bless you....Steve
