We has a much needed rest on Monday which was very much appreciated after doing so much over the course of the previous week {and having out itinerary changed to include a busy Saturday and Sunday}. Today we have been able to approach things having been refreshed and refocused.
We are doing things rather differently this week. This morning we met for breakfast, devotions and prayers along with a planning meeting for the day. We decided to reach out to a nearby town called 'Banana' {Yes, you did read that right}. We have used a three fold strategy.
Along with prayer walking the area and interceding for the people we have been approaching anyone who might listen and introducing ourselves. If they are open to talk then we share the gospel with them. We must have spoken to around 30 people today. There is a young man called Samuel who has given his life to Christ today. Please pray that he would stay true to his commitment. We routinely offer prayer to people we meet as this is a positive way in which people can encounter the power of God and also shows our heart toward people as a positive witness.
This day of street witness and door to door has been marked by many shared testimonies and use of the word of God to share the gospel. We trust God for much fruit to come of the seed we have sown today.
We are working with a young man called Collins who is part of the PAIS movement now operating in Kenya. They specialise in reaching children and young people and he has brought some really useful skills in helping us to have a good outreach. He is off to The United States in a few weeks for a one year internship. We pray that God enlarge his capacity to minister during that time. He has a real heart to reach people and spiritual maturity for a young man which is very god to see and also a testament to PAIS philosophy of reaching and developing young people.
During our prayer walk we had a look inside a local church that turned out to be only one week old. We had a chance to pray for the church and the new minister of this church plant and they have offered us an opportunity for a lunchtime open air preaching platform in front of the church which is facing the main road. We are praying about this.
There are two other nearby towns we are considering reaching out to in the next two days. Pray that God would guide our steps.
