Nairobi continued…

Congo team arrived, poor things, at 2:30 this morning after being in traffic since 9 pm due to heavy rains and flooding and many car accidents to get to this place. But, they are safely here now, along with one more from Kenya…here are their photos:

Kim and Jeff really challenged all of us with their teachings regarding Muslims and God’s love for all people. As they interacted with the East Africans, they soon found out that the guys were not ashamed at all to share their struggles with this issue. Comments like:

1. “Muslims are involved in witchcraft. They entice our children with money and take them into Somalia and Sudan and brainwash them that they must die to get to heaven.”
2. “Muslims are killers. They target Christians. If you cannot recite from the Koran, they will kill you.”
3. “They have killed our people in malls, burned our churches, killed our students in universities.”

But, as the day went on and mindsets and prejudices were laid down as God’s principles were laid out, we then heard comments like this:

1. “We are learning how to overcome those concepts we have had in light of the Kingdom of God."
2. “This is God. We really need this message right now.”
3. “This is perfect timing for our country right now.”

It was a long day, but rich. Everyone is very engaged and embracing what is being taught. All of this in light of the trauma many have and are living through currently. Please pray especially for Burundi as it looks like a coupe is taking place and if it succeeds, it would be very, very good for not only Burundi but DR Congo and Rwanda as well. We continually ask for your prayers for peace for these nations.

Thank you all so much for your prayers. One pray-er wrote just today… “I keep getting this mental image of a tiny, but super, super bright candle in the middle of darkness. It is so powerful what is happening!” We truly, truly believe “for such a time as this!” Thank you all so much for joining with us. It’s miraculous that those who are here are here and that they are so expectant and wanting to hear this message, when humanly speaking, they could be so resistant for so many legitimate reasons. We are grateful. God is at work for sure! Imagine the impact on their nations!
