Kenya Mission Report

Dear Family of Jesus Followers,

What a great report I have for you regarding our work in Kenya! This trip went so far beyond our expectations that I can only say “How great is our God”! This letter will be for the purpose of giving glory to Jesus Christ our soon coming King!

Our ten member team arrived in Nairobi and Pastor Daniel Oyoko, our Kenya ministry partner, met us at the airport. We checked into our rooms to get some rest before taking the eight hour journey to Homa Bay. On the way there we stopped to minister at a church we planted when our car broke down a couple of years ago. Can you imagine, planting a new church as our car broke down and we preached the gospel at the roadside makeshift mechanic shop?

After our time there we finished our travel to Homa Bay on the shores of the majestic Lake Victoria. Our mission was to preach the gospel to what we thought would be a few thousand people over four days. Instead, we preached to 16,000 people! You should have seen it---it was like a five or six hour Jesus party that kept getting bigger with each passing day!

Well known professional Christian singers and dancers were brought in from different parts of Kenya and they were anointed and precious to the Lord. We worshiped, sang, danced, and saw the glory of God come down from heaven! During our four day event approximately 750-1000 prayed to receive Jesus as Savior and Lord!

There were times when we knew we were in His presence in a way that can only be described as heavenly. Oh how I love Jesus because He first loved me! He was so kind to us and so real to us and so there with us that it was like something out of the Bible---and why should that surprise us? That is what I want more to be normal in my life---the manifest, He is pleased with us, presence of the Lord Jesus!

So many were blessed, touched, saved, transformed, healed, and set free, that I know we were truly doing the work of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ. And friends, that is called LIVING! Are you living today? Are you seeking after His righteousness first and foremost in your life?

We also ministered to orphans and widows at the First Baptist Pearland Orphanage bringing them clothing, love, and fun activities for part of two days. These precious ones need our ongoing love and prayer.

We have added pictures to our website and blog and have a new staff member working with our ministry who will be sending updates. We will have some new media sources for you to follow to get a better idea of our work. We will be on Face Book and YouTube along with our blog and website. If you are not on our email list use our contact information to be added to it if you would like video updates.

Report From Africa

Philippians 2:17 Yea, and if I be offered (poured out) upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all.


By Pastor Don Schwarz

Africa Report: Rwanda, DR Congo, Kenya Pastor Conference Teaching

Luke 24:6He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, 7Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again. 11And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not. 25Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: 26Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?

Why have these passages been grouped together in this teaching?

The reason is to demonstrate how important it is for followers of Jesus to receive the prophetic word of our Lord Jesus--especially during times of climatic fulfillment! For how many centuries had the prophets been writing about the Messiah Who would come and fulfill the (1st coming) prophetic word? And yet the righteous women, instead of bringing tambourines to the tomb, brought spices for a dead man. They had to be reminded by angels of the fulfilled prophetic word.
Then the apostles dismissed the prophetic word from the prophetic sisters, who had spoken with angels, as an idle tale. And to add insult to injury, the brothers on their way to Emmaus preached to Jesus about His own crucifixion, though their message was incomplete as they left out the most important part----He is not here FOR HE IS RISEN AS HE SAID! Jesus told them their problem: they were foolish and slow of heart to believe the prophetic word. Today, what can we do---is there a way to avoid this foolishness of unbelief while the prophetic word is being fulfilled a 2nd time? Hallelujah, the answer is Yes and Amen! The Lord has given us the formula to be alert and sober minded during this time. It is amazingly simple and leaves Him with the heavy lifting. The answer is to walk by His AMAZING GRACE!

Titus 2:11 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, 12 teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, 13 looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, 14 who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works.

The saving grace of Jesus Christ teaches us to deny wickedness and embrace and walk in godliness. It keeps us safe in this time of foolishness and trouble. It also gives us an understanding of our times and allows for us to not be surprised and unprepared for His coming. To the contrary we will be burning bushes doing exploits and looking for the fulfillment of His prophetic word----HALLELUJAH!!!

How do I access this amazing grace? ASK---ask, seek, knock, love and pursue Jesus with all your heart and love people today. Our Savior commanded us to watch for Him to come for us in the clouds: Matthew 24: 42 Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming. Do these things and He will fill you with His Spirit of grace and you will one day hear: well done thou good and faithful servant!

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!
