Tuesday Update

Today the team spent the morning ministering to a group of church and community leaders in the area. Andrew Jones was able to preach a short message on Acts 10:24-48 and Isaiah 53 and we discussed as a group the content of the gospel message that Peter gave to Cornelius and his household  and the importance of baptism.

In the afternoon, we traveled about 1 hour to Matete and went to the church of Pastor Ronnie Opicho. On the way, we stopped to see some baboons along the side of the road (see pics). At the church, we led discussions using the First Principles resources about what it means as an individual and a church to participate in the mission of the Church and using our individual households as mission centers. It was a great day and everyone was very encouraged by our time.

Please continue to pray for the health of the team and for our families back home. Tomorrow we head to Eldoret where we will be spending the next two days, ministering in some individual homes as well as joining another missionary as they minister in the slums and then joining a men’s bible study in the evening.

Sunday and Monday Update

Yesterday, the team finished up their time in Kisii at the church of Pastor Wilson Atambo. Eric was able to preach a sermon on God’s plan for the Church by looking at the book of Ephesians. After the morning services, the team was able to spend some time with the congregation and with Wilson’s family.

On Monday morning, the team left for Kakamega where they visited Rush Academy, a school with approximately 300 students from grades 1-12. The team split up and spent the afternoon with groups of middle school students, high school students, as well as staff members, working through some discipleship resources and discussing the gospel message given by Peter in Acts 10:34-48. Everyone reported having very fruitful conversations and we pray that the Lord will continue to grow His word in the hearts of all these individuals that we were able to spend time with.  .

On Tuesday, the team plans to preach and speak to a group of 150 individuals from the community in the morning and in the afternoon, they will be visiting another local church and going through a discipleship resource discussing what it looks like to participate in the mission of the church. Please pray for continued boldness, wisdom, and discernment with each group and also pray for continued strength and health for the team.

Weekend Update

On Friday morning, the team travelled from Nairobi to Kisumu on a short flight and then drove to Kisii. Shortly after arriving and after a lunch with Pastor Wilson Atambo, we headed to a small village outside of Kisii to meet and spend some time with Nyamani Joash who is planting small family and home churches throughout Kenya. Joash was one of the first people that Eric met in Kenya and the reason for his first visit there. It was good to reconnect with him and his family. We were able to pray and discuss his ministry plans for the future and how we might be able to continue to strengthen and encourage his church and ministry and assist with making disciples and planting churches throughout Kenya.

On Saturday, the team spent the whole day at the church of Pastor Wilson Atambo. The church had just completed a new building after being forced to move off of their previous location due to excessive and unwarranted  rate increases on their previous lease. Throughout the day, we met with the women’s ministry, the leadership team, and some of the youth, spending time in discipleship and discussion around Scripture and its application in their lives and ministry contexts. The afternoon ended with a small whole church gathering with prayer, worship, and a short exhortation. 

Please pray for the team as Eric will be preaching tomorrow at the church’s main service and the rest of the team will be engaging with the church’s leadership team in the afternoon for additional discipleship and leadership training. On Monday morning, the team will drive three hours from Kisii to Kakamega where we will be ministering in a school, a community gathering, as well as another local church.

Thursday Update

Today the team spent the day in Nairobi with HEART ministries and visited some of their women’s health and education centers in the Kibera slum. We were able to use some of the fundraising from the trip to purchase food for 16 of the women and give it to them in person. After eating a meal together, we visited the homes of three of the women and were able to see where and how they lived. The visits meant a lot to these women and we were able to pray over their homes and families. They also provided a very sobering perspective as their living conditions are some of the worst in the world and the average home size we visited was around 140 sq ft, where anywhere from 6-8 individuals live, eat, and sleep.

Tomorrow the team will head back to the airport in the morning for a short flight to Kisumu and then a 2 hour drive to Kisii. We will be visiting a local church there shepherded by Wilson Atambo and spending time with him and his congregation over the next few days. Please pray for continued safety and blessings during our travel as well as wisdom and discernment with our conversations and our ministry time. Pray that we are led by the Spirit in all things and that we can love and encourage everyone we meet.
