Ken recieving the P.E.T. that God provided for him

Children playing

Today we went to Mambai to share God’s story with the local church and with the primary school. We presented each child in grades 3 through 8 with a bookmark, a pencil, and a New Testament, approximately 400 in total. The children were very excited. When they discovered that we had the Jesus Film showing at the church across a field, all the children ran off yelling and jumping because they wanted to see the video. They completely forgot that we said we had three soccer balls for them, which was the item that, when we told the children what we were going to give them, received the loudest applause. After dark, we set up the screen and supplies outside in the field by the school and showed the film again. Many individuals accepted Christ. The children here are hungry for God.

Children with their new pencils, bookmarks, and NEW TESTAMENTS!!!!

We arrived in Kenya Saturday night. The flights went well, but they were very long (8 hours each). Sunday morning, we took a plane flight from Nairobi to Kisumu to go to church at Special Ministries Hope Center in Kisumu (the name of this Hope Center is BarKorumba). We linked up with John and Kim of Into the River at Kisumu and proceeded to the church where the leaders and congregation had been waiting for us to arrive to have the church service. The service was good. We were able to share our individual testimonies (with the aid of a translator) to the congregation. The church service began at 9:00 AM (we arrived at 11:00 AM) and lasted until 3:30 PM. It was a great experience and we gave 250 Bibles to the people of the Church. We were going to show the Jesus Film (using John and Kim’s equipment) at this same church Sunday night, but there was a harsh thunderstorm, and we thought no one would come. People did show up and wanted to see the video, so we showed it. When Pastor Walter gave the call to Christ about 20 people came forward to accept Him as their Savior.
