The last 2 days have been all about building relationships. Yesterday I met with the new administration of the chaplains office at prison headquarters. It was a time of getting to know one another and learning how to work together to further CR in the Kenyan prisons.
Today I visited 4 churches that needed a bit of encouragement to start CR. They or someone at their church has been through the training already. It was very helpful to spend time getting to know them and learning some of the challenges they face in starting CR and sharing how others have gone forward. It was a long day very well spent. I believe positive things will come of the visits. Two of the churches are very large, Nairobi Pentecostal Church Woodley has about 5,000 adult weekend attenders and Nairobi Pentecostal Church Valley Road has close to 20,000. So many lives could be impacted through CR at their churches and I beleive they will both be starting CR, all in God's timing (not mine). I also visited a center for street kids that are using CR. It was great to see boys 8-10 year old participating in the CR lesson TURN. God is good.
Please pray for these churches and others in Nairobi and Mombasa that are in various stages of starting CR ministries. Pray for the team (John, Richard adn Joann) who will be leaving LAX a week from today to join me in Kenya for CR trainings. Pray for me to have a good day of rest tomorrow.

You are the feet and hands and are doing exactly what God has gifted you with. This is so encourqaging to know that Churches are starting CR and that they are struggling with it. It means that they are doing exactly what God wants and using the tools that they have so far. This also means that the struggles are satans way of trying to disrupt their startup efforts and that "the battle is ON"! Get out of the way satan and know that God's reign is Supreme! God bless you in all you did this day and for what you are preparing for tomorrow! JB
