Today is the last day of our CR seminar. It has been exciting to watch as they begin to experience CR for themselves and capture the vision what it can do in their own lives and the people they minister to in prisons and churches. They are so open and eager to learn more.
Yesterday the CR leader for Athi River prison shared his CR testimony. He wrote it out following our format and read it. He was so open about himself and it was really powerful.
Today we focus on the very practical steps of going forward and beginning this ministry in their churches and prisons. We will have an opportunity to nail our burdens on the cross and share communion together. Then a senior official from prison headquarters will do the official closing of the seminar and show their support for CR in the prisons.
This afternoon Morris and I fly to Kisumu then meet a friend who will drive us to Kakamega in Western Kenya. Tomorrow we hold an introductory seminar for senior pastors and prison officials in the area. We will come back later in the year to teach a 4-day seminar to equip those that want to start CR.
Pray for open hearts and for God’s wisdom to show the way forward in starting CR in the churches and prisons that have attended the training this week. Pray for travel mercies for Morris and I. Pray for the seminar that we will hold tomorrow in Kakamega. Pray for good health. A few people attending the seminar this week have colds. Morris started getting sick yesterday and I woke up with a scratchy throat this morning. Pray that Morris heals quickly and that I don’t get sick. Thanks so much for your prayers, we couldn't do this without them.

We are praying for you both, and for all attending the seminars. I am expecting God to heal you both as you are sleeping and give you strength for travel and an inspired seminar in Kakamega.
ReplyDeleteGod can do abundantly more than we can ask or imagine. I know that the work you are doing will spread in unimaginable ways throughout Kenya, and beyond, in churches and in prisons, lives will change and there will be many, many in eternity because of your willingness, obedience, openness, transparency, and servant's hearts. All the glory to God! What a privilege you have in serving the Lord as you are. God bless you and those you touch in the upcoming days.

ReplyDeleteHello Jana and Morris!
DeleteThere is nothing like hearing a story of a transformed life! Very exciting.
Very grateful for you both.
Yes, we are praying - praying for the sickness/touch of "scratchy" throat to pass quickly, that you made it safely to Kakamega.
Praying for the open hearts and minds to receive ALL the God has planned for ALL of you during this next seminar. May the Holy Spirit guide you in all ways. "In all your ways, acknowledge Him, and He will direct your path".
May your words bring insight, expose de-Nile :-), and put softened hearts right where God wants them.
"Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in his mighty power...." Amen!
