Preach in every season. April is the official beginning of the heavy rains in Mount Kenya area, yet we felt to go ahead with our first major open air crusade using our new set-up. Not a single meeting was lost the rain held off until 9pm each night as we closed the meetings then poured down all night! Increase always of God. After the technical set-up I stood on the new stage and looked across the vast field. The thought came what if only a handful of people come! It wasn’t hard to distinguish that that was not God. The crowd built up every day ending with a peak on Sunday the Pastors fellowship were so excited it was the biggest crowd they had ever had in Kangema for a meeting. God had been faithful to fill the space we provided for him. Kangema meetings opened our eyes to the possibilities in God. They also highlighted our complete reliance upon Him. This is now far bigger than us; God has launched us into a new level. Blind in one eye, deaf in one ear, and unable to walk without the aid of a stick. What a mighty miracle! The crowd went wild as this old man waved his hand in response that he could now see. He had been blind for 18 months! Jesus opens blind eyes. Now one of the pastors talks into the deaf ear. He repeats what is says without any problem. Then he marches and jumps and runs up and down the platform joy beaming from his face. The crowd all waved umbrellas, branches, and handkerchiefs dancing and praised the Lord. Salvation every night. The Gospel literally rang out clearly across the whole town; our powerful new sound system ensured that. I looked across the field to the top of the hill where I knew there was a bar. During the preaching the bar emptied and crowds stood outside listing to the word of God. People could bee seen on rooftops and balconies listing to the Word of God. The best thing to do was to tell the vast crowd to pray the prayer of salvation right where they stand. Victory was sweet but now there are other places that need the Gospel also. Our preparation and Intercession team leave for Bukavu Congo on next Friday. We need help like never before. Deadlines are coming up in just a few days. Postponing the meetings is not an option, cancelling is unthinkable. Please help us by going the second and third mile. The Gospel must be preached, and people must be saved. |
