We were joined by Kenyan gospel singer Salome Mwabindo and the atmosphere was truly celebratory. On the final night of the crusade we saw an amazing 16 people make a commitment to follow Christ. Over the course of the mission there have been 23 such commitments and 11 testimonies of immediate miraculous healing. The figure represents those we know of as many were prayed for in mass prayers as there were too many to pray for individually. We trust God that there are many other people who have been touched by God's miraculous healing power.
On the final Sunday, before the crusade, I had the chance to preach to a church in Maweni which is a slum in Mombasa. A major part of my topic was helping people to see themselves from the perspective of who they are in Christ rather than their outward circumstances. It went down very well indeed and I was told that some of the things I had taught from the scriptures were things they were unaware of until now. The pastor was very happy. That sermon almost never happened as there was a mix up over transport to the church. It seems that the devil didn't want this to happen but it did and God really touched people's hearts.
Monday was a leisure day before I fly back on Tuesday. Along with my friends (including pastor Kyomukama Deus from Uganda) we visited the historic Fort Jesus which was built by the Portuguese around 500 years ago. I even found time to film a video series on 'Defeating the Giants' which is about recognising and pulling down strongholds in our lives.
It has been an amazing time including the leaders conference. Thank you to everyone who supported this mission both financially and in prayer. We trust God that many lives and churches have been eternally changed.
Shalom... Steve Johnson
