Hello my friends,
everything is great.
I have done much witnessing and open-air preaching in the last couple of weeks. The Jesus film team I was on has finished their outreach, in which hundreds and hundreds came to Christ, and I am now back with YWAM and have already helped on a YWAM team doing some open-air and witnessing. Pastors want me to come back and minister, and many have offered me places to stay. I also had the opportunity to teach to a youth group (ages 20-30) which was great. I will be here until August 18th doing more open-air preaching and witnessing, because it is so easy and crowds gather in a heartbeat. People even come up to me asking me to help them get delivered of drinking, or a cult, or even wanting to leave Islam. I’ve not experienced that before but it’s great!

Hundreds Coming to Christ
Jesus Film in Kenya
Hello from Kenya.
Thanks to all who are keeping me up in prayer. It is working goooood…
I need to be quick, so: It is dirty and pretty desolate here. Kenya is in an economical and spiritual pit. The church is very, very active. They can’t handle all the hunger and problems going on, but they sure are trying. 80 percent say they’re Christian, but only 12 percent are church attendees. I’ve made many contacts with pastors and YWAMers.
I can’t exactly hand out tracts here…..they just get taken from me in a frenzy…wow. I’ve been really living up the 1 Chron. 16:23 mandate. Everywhere, everyday. The Jesus film is so good at getting crowds. We had 800 watching last night. Hundreds and hundreds are being saved. Muslims want to know. Alchoholics want to know. Disillusioned church-goers want to know. Its hard to keep up. We show the Jesus film by night, and follow up by day. I’ve lost much sleep, but I’m always able for preaching and witnessing purely by the Lord.
Please keep praying hard. I’m expecting to return to the states in the middle of August now. I will try to send more updates when I can.
Mungu awabariki. God bless you all.
