We held a number of meetings at schools and also outside crusades, preaching the gospel, sharing testimony and healing the sick. We ministered in Chodari; 250 received Jesus as their Saviour. Then at Kapecha School, 300 received Christ, and later at the Kapecha outside crusade, another 90 received Christ as their saviour. At Takaye Primary School approximately 400 said YES to Jesus!
In Milano the Gospel was preached, and just one soul cried out. It was so precious. This old man was unable to walk after a heart attack. After receiving his salvation through Christ, we prayed for his healing, and he slowly walked without sticks. It was just so amazing to see such priceless gifts. Many followed after seeing that for healing. Later in Vipingo, 80 children received Jesus as their saviour; it was our last stop before flying home. Earlier in August, 68 received Christ in the Rift Valley as we held a series of church meetings.
Evangelistic crusade meetings on the south coast of Kenya
Rural village of Chodari
n October 2013, Mission Living Waters went back to the coastal areas of Kenya with a real expectation of what God would do. On Sunday 13th October, after the celebration in the Shariani Church, we travelled about 6 or 7 kilometres inland to the west to reach the village of Chodari. I visited this remote place briefly last year on my way back to the airport. I was given a word of knowledge there, and God healed all the women who came forward in that unscheduled meeting, so now we planned to return there for a crusade. There were problems reaching Chodari; the truck ahead of us broke down and blocked the narrow mud road. Later that evening the PA system failed. This took up much valuable time and resources over the next two days, but we managed to buy a new amp and sound desk, which was very much needed as we went out. We came here to preach the gospel of salvation, and these problems weren't going to stop us. We unloaded the bus and carried all our heavy equipment the last 1.5 kilometres to our destination, where the gospel was preached.
The next day at the Chodari school there were over 250 salvations at the school in response to testimonies and the word being shared.
August 2013 – Bungoma and Mumias in the Rift Valley, North West Kenya, strengthened the Church for effective ministry again.
The trips to Bungoma and Mumias were so significant. It was a time of refreshing, strengthening and healing for so many pastors and church members; the Lord revealed many things that we could not have known, but local people confirmed were correct. One pastor said from the platform that before we came, he had felt like giving up; things had been very hard over many years, but now things have changed, and he has fresh vision; they will even run all-night prayer meetings.
God gave me a clear vision showing not only what had happened in the past and was holding this area back from growing, but He also showed the way to freedom for these people; this trip has helped whole communities to move on and has given them a fresh hope where they were struggling. Many have been healed of all kinds of sickness; we saw deliverance and many salvations come. Through the deliberate acts of repentance, forgiveness and reconciliation, the Church has been greatly strengthened and is ministering from a place of love once again, which carries the power to set captives free. We give glory to God for what He has done.
Takaye Youth Conference
230 young people came to our third youth conference in Takaye, Kenya, this August 2013.
Many were healed; 10 youths had spine and neck problems and were healed! 6 had chest problems; healed! 10 had stomach and intestine problems; healed in the wonderful Name of Jesus Christ! We had good teachers, and the weekend was a great success in all areas.
It is such a privilege to be able to hold these life-changing events for the young people.
