Africa Report: Upcoming Kenya Missions Effort-June 2010



Matthew 28:18-20:18And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

It is time once again to board the international flight for Africa from Texas! I am so excited and let me tell you why. From the time we get to the airport the mission begins. We take gospel tracts with us and begin getting out the gospel at the ticket counter, through the airport, and on the plane, which is just a warm up for when we touchdown in Kenya!

You see the time is almost up for us to make disciples of Jesus Christ---there will be many things we can do when Jesus comes that we cannot do now, but one thing we will not be able to do is share the gospel with a sinner and teach them to walk by faith in Jesus. And in Kenya there is a hunger for the things of the Kingdom of Heaven that is quite unique and not often seen in America.

There are ten of us going on this gospel mission and for the first time one of them is my wife! I am praising Jesus that my wife is going with me on her first African mission trip along with eight other dear brothers and sisters.

There we will work with Pastor Daniel Oyoko who has planted forty four churches, most of which have been planted with the partnership of our ministry and our church in Pearland, TX. Additionally, our good friend and ministry partner John McTernan is one of the people that introduced me to Pastor Daniel. John sends him gospel tracts and Bibles, and we even took some of John's tracts into a prison in Kenya that were translated into Swahili.



The fruit we have seen of prostitutes and drunkards, children, orphans, young, old, men and women come to Jesus over the last four years has been remarkable! And I have some good news---the best is yet to come! Isn't that nice to hear in the midst of all this trouble and chaos---the best is yet to come?
Don't ever forget something---if the Lord has commanded you to do something, a crazy, demonic, God hating world cannot stop you! He has commanded us to make disciples, baptize them, and teach them His word. In many parts of Africa there is a harvest for just such work. Of course we should continue to do so in America, but I like going where the harvest is plentiful and filling the basket with fruit!

During this trip we will be involved in a multi-faceted outreach. Here are just some of the things we will be doing:

---Americans and Kenyans loving King Jesus by obeying, singing, praying, praising!
---Sharing gospel tracts!
---Preaching open air to thousands!
---Teaching the Word at a Pastor’s Conference!
---Giving away 1000 pair of reading glasses!
---Orphan ministry: providing clothing for 120 orphans!
---Sharing gospel with and teaching orphans!
---Sharing gospel with and teaching widows!
---Giving to widows!

Our Kenya dates are June 13-24---please pray for all of these outreaches and those the Holy Spirit will show us while we are there. When we return we will have a glorious report Lord willing of the Kingdom fruit. And if you participate in praying and/or giving you will be part of the fruit bearing for this glorious Savior JESUS!
