AUGUST 2010
Well, it is so good to be home after some 20,000 miles round trip journey to Kenya, Africa. Words just cannot describe the grueling, seemingly never-ending plane journey beginning in Dallas, TX arriving in Frankfurt, Germany. Then enduring a 6 hour lay-over, boarding and moving on the Ethiopia only to again be sitting in an airport for another 7 hours waiting on my next flight to take me on to Nairobi, Kenya. I arrived at the hotel at 2am two days later and rested a little before I traveled back to the airport for one more flight in the twin prop aircraft that would take me to my final destination, Kisumu, Kenya. Arriving late in that day, I settled into a room and prepared to begin the pastor’s conference the next day. Over a 100 pastors gathered in Kisumu from the outer villages, hungry to receive a Word from God. I had come to deliver that Word and God would not disappoint them! Bishop Zephaniah Orao, overseer of some 130 churches and pastors, shared with me the overwhelming discouragement of these pastors.
Bishop Zephaniah Orao
They had been beaten down, abused, and even persecuted for preaching about new life through our Lord Jesus Christ. So, as we gathered together, I could see in their faces a real need to be encouraged, touched by His amazing Word and by the Power of the Holy Spirit. God had given me the final direction for this conference during the journey, so this message was very fresh and very timely for them. The theme was centered around this idea of “who I AM now that I am called and chosen to pastor here in the Kisumu area?” Their response was so amazing and heartfelt! Teaching after teaching resulted in breaking and crying out to our all knowing, all powerful, all caring God! Each time this would occur, the pastors would have an increase in faith and determination to be what God says that “I AM”; not what others say that I am or even what Satan says I am. One of the more meaningful moments during the conference happened after I taught the sermon titled, “I AM A MASTERPIECE!” . Based upon Eph 2:10, “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” , and because God only makes masterpieces; there was an unstoppable outpouring of the Spirit of God on the pastors that resulted in uncontrollable weeping, cries of release, shouts of fresh joy, and the embracing of “I matter” in the eyes of God and in the Kingdom purpose of God! Again, what amazing evidence of the wonderful love and power of God to accomplish: what He desires – the way He chooses to do it – with whom He selects to do it!!! Praise be to God! This pastors conference started with Pastors discouraged, but ended with Pastors revived, refreshed, and renewed to take Jesus to the people again! God did a great work!!!
Pastor’s Conference
After the pastor’s conference each day, we held the outdoor crusades in Kisumu and then on Sunday I preached the gospel in Bishop Zephaniah’s church within the city.
Outdoor Preaching of the Gospel
Souls being saved.
It was just amazing again how even language barriers, outside noises, children running and playing, and even traffic sounds all around could not stop God moving on the hearts of some 200+ people which came to know His saving Grace! Praise God! 200+ souls saved during the crusades! God poured out His spirit in both settings. People were changed and transformed. It was a great privilege to preach in Bishop Zeph’s area and church. After all of this ministry, the next day I started the 40 hour return to Dallas! This was a very tiring trip…but so worth it in the Kingdom. J
People responding to the Gospel!
Even though I was traveling on a very limited budget God moved in a very large way! He was faithful, His will was done, pastors were changed and transformed, they were moved to a new level in Christ, and people were added to the kingdom of God!
This is was an incredible success for the kingdom. Praise be to God for His faithfulness to me, to allow me to go and Take Christ to the Nations!
