Crusades in Obama district.

For the last two days we have had services in the Christ Believers church in the Obama district of Nairobi. We had a really good service there on Sunday morning and the people were very receptive to the word. We learned the difference between the mindset of a son and that of an orphan with the emphasis being that we are sons and daughters of God and the view we have of our heavenly Father will shape our mindset.
We had a really beneficial bible study in the church before the main service. The church was full with around 100 people there. I wasn't expecting the bible study until about 30 seconds before the pastor invited me up to speak but I was led to a passage in Matthews gospel when I was waiting at the hotel which was the parable of the sower and I felt it was important to train people how to prepare their hearts in readiness to receive the word of God being taught and preached so that it would bear fruit in their lives.
Many of the people in this church are reading their bibles as you give out the texts {They are encouraged to do this} and numerous people are taking notes which is very positive. It means they are taking what they hear seriously.
Deus ministered at the crusade yesterday and there were three people who responded to the call of salvation and a number of healings. On Sunday, I had the chance to preach at the crusade and we saw another person come forward to give their life to Christ as well as four people who after being prayed for were set free of all pain.
Today we are in Kiambu county just north of Nairobi. This is our opportunity to rest after a very busy week. It will also give us the chance to plan for the mission work in front of us in the next few days. We are also staying in a decent house which is such a blessing.
I think so far at least six people have given their lives to Christ and at least 10 have received healing. We are working with a really good well trained missions movement this week so we are hoping for a really good second week. The work will focus on young people in the area.
This should be a very fruitful week.

God bless you...Steve
