Back From Africa

Thank you for all who prayed for us while we were in Kenya. Our journey back was very long - 42 hours travelling. We returned to Newberg on Friday night the 26th. Here it is Monday and we are still very tired and in the wrong time zone!

The Lord really did some amazing things while we were there. The Lord's Ministry is a wonderful organization, doing the work of the gospel. Before we left, Pastor Gideon Mudenyo shared his missionary strategy with us.

Basically he and a few other pastors go into an area where the gospel has not penetrated. They stop people on the road or go house to house and tell them about the gospel of Jesus Christ. Some get saved and they then start a house Bible study. From that churches get started and they hold open air crusades where hundreds get saved.

After the ministry is established another group comes in under the direction of Gideon's brother: Jonathan. This ministry is designed to disciple the young Christians and support the church that has started. Meanwhile Gideon starts over in another area.

Please continue to pray for this vital ministry and for the Lord to direct how we can support them.

Oh, it may be a few days before I resume my regular postings to this blog on our journey through the Scriptures. Please be patient!

Pastor Tom
