North Kinangop Region, Engineer
Jesus Revival Centre
Pastor John Kairu

December 29th, 2004 - January 4th, 2005

Hallelujah! The adventure begins. Our flights from JFK to Nairobi were absolutely the best. Even though we were an hour late leaving from both JFK and Amsterdam we arrive at both destinations a half hour early due to some substantial tailwinds. Just a sign of the Lord going before us. At Nairobi airport a gentleman took us aside and brought us through the visa process without a hitch. We bypassed the line of people and they just stared at us as we passed them all by. Before we left, brother Arne had a word about "grace, grace." We were seeing the start of all of this. Our luggage was already on the conveyor so we gathered it all up and met Pastor John Kairu, who was waiting outside the doors. He took us to our accomodations for the night, the Hillcrest Hotel. Very quaint but nice. The first thing we did after settling in was order some of favorite sodas, "Stoney Tangawizi" One the treats from our first trip which Tim did not truly appreciated, but we respected his right to be wrong. We had a continental breakfast the next morning and headed out to Engineer in the North Kinangop Region.

On Thursday the 30th, we headed out from Nairobi to Naivaisha via the Rift Valley. Then we arrived at the Jesus Revival Centre as a seminar was being taught. We were all very tired so we all greeted the congregation worshipped with Tim and then we headed to Pastor John's home for some rest. 

The next morning on Friday the 31st, we begin to teach on the Holy Spirit field to about 75 people. People kept coming in during the session until there were over 200. David opened up with "What You Are Made Of." He showed them that they were spirit beings made to house the Holy Spirit. Tim then shared on "The Holy Spirit is..." where he covered aspects of these uses in Romans. After Lunch Joe Cahill taught on "The Authority of the Believer" and initiated prayer for deliverance afterwards. Arne finished up with "The Promise of the Father." After this around twenty were led into the baptism of the Holy Spirit evidenced by speaking in tongues. What a great day and yet the fun was just about to begin in the night.

On Friday night, New Years Eve, we got back together at 10:00 p.m. for a celebration time. David gave a testimony along with a evangelistic message. Four people gave their lives to Christ that night. The building was packed with people jammed in all the doors and outside the building. When we all began to worship at a quarter until midnight the place erupted in a joyous roar. When we reviewed the pictures from that night we saw "bubbles" on many of them. The first time that I had seen these was while with Van Tanner of Hope of Glory Ministries. He had told me that it happened on their pictures when the Holy Spirit moved big in meetings. That was definitely what was happening here. People were stirred in many ways. It really began to happen when the beach ball that Arne brought was tossed out into the crowd. See for yourself in the following pictures;

On Saturday, January 1st we had the day to go to Lake Naivaisha Resort to view the Hippos in the Lake.  This lake has the largest concentration of these animals in the world. We took a boatride onto the lake where we saw these massive creatures gliding through the water with such grace and ease. We also saw some giraffes on an island, many fish eagles, Monster pelicans, flamingoes, zebras, wildebeest, and waterbuks. It was a wonderful time. We took this journey with pastor John because the congregation was cooking at the church for the big 10th Anniversary celebration on Sunday where they expect two thousand people for the day. We look forward to that.

Sunday was quite a celebration. People from all over the town came to the church to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of Jesus Revival Centre. There were over 20 pastors from other churches in town to celebrate this great event. David preached a message on Ephesians 1:15-21 along with all of our missionaries singing "Who is Like the Lord." The church was packed with people sitting all over the grounds. When the feeding began, it was handled decently and orderly to the point that everyone had received their first portion in less than an hour. The estimated for the amount of people fed was over two thousand. Of the three thousand paper plates bought for the event, there were only a few hundred left. What a blessing! A greater blessing occurred at the end when three young people came forward to receive Christ. A few younger children joined them shortly and within minutes there were around thirty children praying to receive Christ. Praise the Lord! The church went into a song of great rejoicing. Hallelujah! Our God is so good!

Monday we headed off into Naivaisha for Pastor John to take care of some business. In the afternoon we headed off to Hell's Gate National Park to go to the Masai Cultural Centre. On the wat there we saw Zebra, Hartebeest, Warthogs, Giraffes, Gazelles, Water Buffaloes and Ostriches. David prayed to see the ostriches run. They just kept grazing. We visited Fischer's Tower which many people climb. Some of the English Special forces are trained on this rock. When we got to the Masai Centre, our guide named Jackson took us into the gorge form by volcanic eruption two generations ago. This was the gorge used in the filming of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. What a trip down to the river. Yellow sulfur rocks all over. Hot water coming out from the sides of the gorge. Jackson told us of the leopard that prowled the canyon after dark. The Masai were trying to kill it because it was taking their goats. The scenery at the bottom was "gorge"-ous. The Masai lived in this area until the eruption, which killed many of their people. Hence the name Hell's Gate. On the way back we saw two ostrich right in the middle of the road. As we approached them they began to pick up speed to a nice trot. An answer to pray in due time. Praise God, He is good all the time.

Today we head to Kisumu to meet with Bro. Joel Otuoma to begin our western leg of our journey.
