2010 Year End Review

As 2010 comes to an end we are able to look back and see what God has done in our lives as well as in the lives of others. Our hearts desire is to see people come to know Christ as Lord and Savior by the way of salvation. Through numerous evangelistic campaigns and many outreach efforts we have seen over five hundred people make professions of faith in Christ during 2010. This has been accomplished through the power of God one person at a time and house to house. While we praise God for these new converts we also praise him that most of these precious souls are connected with one of the five Churches we have planted while in country. There is not enough room in this report to share with you the testimonies of those newly saved but we have seen hundreds of transformed lives that are now disciples of the Lord Jesus. Numbers are somewhat impersonal but this number represents people that we know, people that we love and people that we are continuing to teach the Word of God.
These are people Terry and I have personally witnessed to and have names like: Ben, Mganda, Rafael, Ouma and Teresa. To God be the glory, great things he hath done!
With new churches planted we prefer our national Pastors to baptize their new converts, however, from time to time they do ask me to baptize which I am honored to do. While there were hundreds baptized through the local churches I personally baptized one hundred and five. We praise God that these new converts have followed the Lord in scriptural baptism as they start their new walk with the Lord Jesus.
Matt. 28:19 “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost”.

We have organized two new testament churches on Mt. Elgon this year with new converts that have coveted together to keep the commands of the Lord Jesus Christ. One is located on top of the mountain and one is located at the base. It has been exciting to see these New Testament churches follow the pattern established in the book of Acts as they come to life with people that we have led to Christ and have a desire to follow Jesus.

1. They gladly received the word,

2. They were baptized,

3. They continued in the apostles doctrine, fellowship, breaking of bread & prayers.

These two new mission points which are located in North Pokot at a village called Chepsabei and Lake Victoria at a village called Wichlum, are some of the most exciting new works we started in 2010. After multiple evangelism campaigns into these villages there are now large groups of believers that are meeting on a weekly basis to study the word of God. We are in the process of teaching and training leaders to continue the growth of these new believers.

2010 brought us into the building phase as we have built two permanent sanctuaries with a third currently under construction. In addition to preaching the gospel and discipling new converts, we have provided humanitarian aid to the people of Kenya in various forms. While this is an area that we do not report a lot on, it is an area of ministry that we feel is very necessary. The type of aid we rendered in 2010 included: clothing, pillow case dresses, reading glasses, safety glasses, food, water and witness dolls for children. Medical aide includes: treatment for malaria, skin diseases, broken bones and burns. Throughout Jesus ministry he would look on the multitudes with compassion and would often met their physical needs as well as their spiritual needs. Thank you to all who have partnered with us during 2010 in prayer and finances to preach the good news in Kenya. Through your faithful support we have also distributed hundreds of hardback & solar powered audio Bibles.
