God set the tone for the day starting with our morning devotional about putting on the armor of God. Even though we started on Kenyan time (10:30 instead of scheduled 8:30) and at a different location, God multiplied the time and the shield of faith gave us serenity when we could have gotten distracted by the late start and change of venue.
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.Romans 8:28
The 130+ pastors and prison chaplains are very eager to get training so they can start this life changing program. They LOVED the video of Kenyan testimonies from our February training and can see even more how it will work in their culture.
Bishops, pastors, prison chaplains and Provence directors traveled from all over the Rift Valley and even 200k away to hear about this ministry. It was very well received and they are anxiously waiting for in-depth training scheduled for March. Our host pastor wanted us to stay tomorrow so we could train his church to start right away. God is good.

Thanks so much for the updates. You are all in my prayers. I miss Kelly (and Mike too), but I can see that they are doing such great work -- the whole team is. It is so exciting to hear what you guys are doing, and even though you are all so far away, it doesn't feel that way since we get to read all about what you are doing. I will be thinking about all of you tonight at CR.

ReplyDeleteThe tiny seeds have been planted long ago, and you are getting to see a bit o' green sproutin' through the red-ochre soil! I love to hear about your f&f (fluid & flexible) moves, because God is the wind the fills the sails and... because Kenyan time is good to experience.

ReplyDeleteRemember to guard your thoughts and your hearts as you seek His purpose for each day. While you had a late start, you were in God's timing and for that He blessed all of you throughout the day. I am so enjoying reading each day's updates and then praising Him for what He is doing in your lives as well as those you are interacting with. May His peace fill your lives!
