God opens doors May 16, 2010

To go back to Kayaba and Free Baptist Church with Pastor Paul and his wife Anne.

This is the entrance to Free Baptist Church.

God's church doesn't need to be a fancy building, or in a wealthy area of town.

God's church is where ever He wants it.

We had a time of prayer, a time of worship, a time of giving thanks to Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

I was blessed and humbled to be able to share God's grace in my life. To teach on the women in the Bible, to encourage the women, and to give the message that Sunday.

God is looking for those who are willing to step out of their comfort zones and be used as His vessels.

"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in

Christ. " Ephesians 1:3

God is Soverign

We never know what things we will face in a day's time:

On January 31st after dropping off the team from EBC at the airport, I was on my way back home. I was riding in a van and as we were driving down the road one of the things that I noticed was how light traffic was, normally traffic in Nairobi is not only bumper to bumper but also side to side, you couldn't move out of the way if you had to.

We were coming upon a big round-about and were watching traffic moving on the other side of the road. We could both (the driver and me) tell that there was something wrong with a bus on the opposite side of the road, it seemed to be out of control and heading right for us. God gave Sammy (the driver) an awareness to recognize a problem, and because of the light traffic Sammy was able to move the front of the van just a little which stopped a head on collision, and saved our lives.

I remember thinking we had cleared the problem with the bus when all of a sudden we were slammed into, it was like I was on the outside watching what was happening and seeing my body being thrown around like a rag doll. I didn't have any time to stiffen up or brace myself, I just went with the impacts.

God protected and spared not only my life, but Sammy's and all the people who were on the bus. There were no serious injuries and no fatalities. We thank God for the protection He showed us.

Kayaba

Stan, Mindy, Blue and I went with Pastor Paul to his church Free Baptist in Kayaba. Kayaba is one of the biggest slums in Nairobi. What a wonderful blessing and gift from God to spend time with them as we all worshiped God together.









Please pray for Free Baptist Church, Pastor Paul and the outreach to all those who live in Kayaba. Please pray for the people who live in Kayaba, without Jesus. You can't live in a place like this and have any hope. As we walked down throught he tin buildings there were eyes filled with pain, grief, hopelessness. Pray that the Gospel will go out and God's Kingdon will be advanced.

UPDATE: Received an email from Pastor Paul and he has shared with me how God is growing His church in Kayaba.

Praise the Lord.

I was able to go to the Elephant Orphanage in Karen. This is where elephants who have lost the mothers, due to illness or killings are brought. They are feed, loved, and prepared to go back out into the wild after they grow up. Most of them are near death when they are found and brought here.


Have you ever been kissed by a Griaffe????

Stan, Mindy, and Carly Blue came from the states. They used to be missionaries in Nairobi, and while they were here they were able to
spend time with team mates, friends, brothers and sisters in Christ that they had not seen in 13 years.
