God's Power
First I want to talk about God's power in our ministry. In the past two weeks we have shared the gospel with many people in Musul. Around nine people accepted Christ , mesesi Jesu (praise Jesus in Maasai). Last Monday we went to a house where we prayed for a girl with an open wound on her ankle, and a small girl who was sick. We returned there this week to see how they were doing and to encourage them. When we got there we were told that the next day both of the girls had been healed. The doubting Thomas in me has now been silenced. A tree can be judged by its fruits, and the fruit of our ministry was good here in Kenya. It has changed my mind about door to door ministry and evangelism in general.
Now I want to reveal God's power in my life. I chose this trip on a whim with little input from God, or so I thought. Back in training camp we were walking in to the dining hall when I had a flashback to a dream I had several months ago. I was walking into a dining hall with a group of people I had never seen before, but I felt very close to them. It matched what was happening then exactly, so God has now given me at least one prophetic dream. AIM places a lot of emphasis on "living in the spirit." This means actively seeking God's will, instead of passively just hoping to see it. This is challenging for me, but it has helped me grow and I have already seen God do great things because I sought him out. One day I was discouraged about door to door ministry, so I prayed that God would tell me if he wanted me to continue with it. That night one of the Africans pulled me aside and out of the blue said, "Do the work God has given you, he will take care of the rest. God had spoken, and I was encouraged.
Now we are finished with our ministry in Kenya and our on ourway to Nairobi to catch a bus to Uganda (I'm actually typing this on a bus so forgive any errors. I'm excited to do some new kinds of ministry in Uganda, and I'm also very excited to live indoors again. I will miss Kenya a lot though. I found that I had a family waiting for me in Kenya, and now I will miss them. My grandparents, father, and extended family used to live in Kenya so I was also glad to continue my family legacy. We stayed with the Maasai tribe and I was given a new name, Merinyo, which means "forever forward." I hope to do this name justice as we move forward in our trip. God is teaching me many new things and I can't wait to see what he has for me. Thanks for your continued prayers and God bless.
