Dear praying friends,
Tomorrow we will be leaving
Nakuru with a group of forty people and traveling to the town of Kilgoris. We will be accompanied by nineteen people who
have traveled to Kenya from the United States with Dr. Greg Waller who heads up
Truth For Today Medical Missions. During
our eight days in Kilgoris region we will be holding six medical clinics,
offering both medical and vision needs.
Each person who comes to the clinic to be seen by the doctor will also be
seen by a soul winner and will be given a clear presentation of the gospel.
This coming Sunday will be the
first service of a new church being started in Kilgoris town. The Habari Njema Baptist Church (Good News
Baptist Church) of Kilgoris town is being started as a joint effort of the
Grace Bible Baptist Church of Nakuru and the Lighthouse Baptist Church of
Olorupa (a village outside Kilgoris).
The Lighthouse Baptist Church is pastored by John Nkome. We have had a close relationship with Pastor
Nkome for sixteen years and have seen him grow and mature in many ways. He is a long time student in our bible
college and has always taken what he has learned and applied it to his church
and life.
Pastor Nkome is of the Maasai
tribe, and Kilgoris town is a predominantly Maasai town. The Maasai people in many ways have remained
true to their cultural traditions from manners of dressing to ways of
living. Certainly there is nothing wrong
with staying true to one’s culture but unfortunately much of the Maasai culture
is steeped in animism and ungodliness.
For this reason they are not as evangelized as some of the other areas
of Kenya.
It is our desire to see a strong
church planted in the midst of this region that can be a Lighthouse for the
cause of Christ. We are excited about
the opportunities to reach deeper into this community for Christ. Several men have been saved in Kilgoris town
and we believe many more will be added to that number.
Please be in prayer for the
medical team as the serve the physical needs of these people and be in prayer
for the team from Grace Bible Baptist Church as they work to present a clear
presentation of the saving grace of Jesus Christ. Pray especially for this coming Sunday, the
29th of January when the first service of the new church plant will
be held.
Grateful for you prayers,
His for Kenya,
And the Regions Beyond,
Robert Mickey Jr. and family
Praise God. God bless you all in your campaign. Praying for you.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your prayers
ReplyDeleteWe will be making a special focus on the new church in Kilgoris town in the morning at Sunshine Community Baptist Church of Gibsons, BC. Please pray for us here. Few of us are left. This area has gone strongly toward people centered, seeker friendly, entertainment based services, and they are very good at recruitment, especially young Christians. We ask for daily prayer in the churches in your region for Jesus Christ to build his church here, in this very dark place.
