“We have never heard that before”..
The Fields Remain White Unto Harvest
Special Prayer Request:
- Pray for all the new believers in Kenya. After preaching the gospel, I asked those in the community of Maganjo who were gathered to hear me preach, “Is this a new message for you?” They all agreed it was something they had never heard before. And when I gave the invitation to trust in Christ alone for their salvation, many indicated they had put their faith in Christ alone instead of their works or own goodness. This same scenario played out over and over again in the communities we visited.
- Please pray for those new believers in Maganjo (with 445 responses); Matuto (with 110 responses); 28 Widows in Gachirio with (7 responses); Ndugo (with 112 responses); Pastors/Leadership Conference in Ruiru (with3 responses); Church in Ruiru (with 2 responses ); Open Air Preaching in Ruiru (with 11 responses).
First Week of June
- The team will be headed back from Kenya. Pray for a safe return for Bob, Dave, Sam and Dean and for follow-up for the Pastors who were taught at the conference and the many who came to faith in Christ at the evangelistic events mentioned above.
- Pray for Ken, our Field Director in Kenya, who did an outstanding job again in lining up the Pastors Conference and various evangelistic events.
- Pray for Isaac Zoedah, our Field Director in Liberia, who continues his hard work and oversight of our 174 students at the CrossWay Christian School.
