Update from Kenya, too

I thought you might enjoy reading the latest news coming from our dear friends in Kenya.

Last weekend, we had an Open Air Crusade at Tumba Market within Machakos area starting from Friday 15th to Sunday 17th July, 2011. This time, we had a very successful Crusade because, Esther and I together with 5 Intercessory Team Members had been in Prayer and Fasting and gave us Favor, Grace and Breakthrough to touch many lives of people and bring them back to the Kingdom of God through Salvation, Healing and Deliverance.

On Friday 15th September, which was our day one of the Crusade, 65 people surrendered their lives to Christ Jesus and among them, 2 were thieves who have been a threat to the villagers by stealing and killing for a long time in the area. They have also been scaring people thus making them fear all the time. At that time, we prayed for a man who has been deaf for 4 years whereby, he received instant healing and started speaking and hearing as before.

On Saturday 16th which was our day 2 of the Crusade, 112 people gave their lives to Christ Jesus and among them, 2 women who had blood pressure and diabetes for a long time also received instant healing through the Blood of Christ Jesus. Out of those who got saved, there a young boy of 14 years who had a problem of both kidneys and has been visiting to different hospitals without success and after praying for him, he received instant healing through the Blood of Jesus Christ and he is now doing well.

On Sunday 17th, we had a successful Service which started at 10:00am and before 12:30pm as we were worshiping, there came a Woman who before she got in the Fellowship, was slain by the move of the Holy Spirit which was controlling the service. Thereby, she started vomiting blood while speaking to herself. When Esther went to pray for her, the evil spirits started speaking from her with a loud voice saying that, "I was send from the hell to come and kill Onesmus and bring confusion to the Leaders and in the Fellowship", and when Esther asked why? The evil spirit said that, Onesmus and this Fellowship has been a threat and have no peace in the hell. At that time, Esther prayed for her and she was delivered from the powers of darkness and later, I prayed for her to be saved.

At 4pm, we went to the Crusade which was our 3rd and last day of the Crusade. we met many people waiting for us and we immediately started praying, worshiping and praising. I started ministering and later 124 people surrendered their lives to Christ Jesus and were filled by the Power of the Holy Spirit. Among those who got saved, a young girl of 13 years who has been short sighted for 5 years she received instant healing after praying for her and she is now seen clearly through the Power of the Holy Spirit. PRAISE BE TO GOD!

I am rejoicing over this beautiful news!!! Praise to His Name!!!
Blessings!

Update time

We are still hanging out at the b & b in Northern Virginia. It is a beautiful spot and the fact that the owners have children with whom our kids enjoy playing and spending time is such a sweet bonus! God has us here, I believe, for so many reasons.

Our house in Ontario is just about ready to put on the market. We are excited about all the renovations that have been done and about what is God is going to do in the selling process. We want the best for our neighbourhood and our agent shares our same philosophy. We are encouraged by his predictions. Bob will head back there this week to take care of the details.

Today Bob went to see if we could possibly get a post office box, since we do not have a house yet. The agent was so accommodating and we now have a mailing address! It's temporary but we are excited. We are thanking God for His favour. (Email me if you would like our address.)

We are continuing to pray about how He wants to mesh all of the vision/callings He has given us. Please join us in praying for more of His revelation and plan. We are ready for the next step, whatever that may be.

God is so good (this is TRUTH, not a cliche) and we are thrilled to be with Him on this adventure!

It's impossible to please God apart from faith. And why? Because anyone who wants to approach God must believe both that he exists and that he cares enough to respond to those who seek him. Hebrews 11:6

Blessings in Jesus!

Northern Virginia

We have moved from the beach to a wonderful bed and breakfast in Northern Virginia. God continues to amaze us with His love and provision and connections. The owners are beautiful people who also share our faith in Jesus Christ. And they also homeschool their children. Wow.

We are giving thanks at every turn.
