Hey everybody! Today was a good day. We started off by going to St. Teresa’s “B” School, where Natalie gave her testimony, which by the way was so good and so heartfelt, and my mom ministered. My mom’s message was also amazing and spirit led; originally no one responded to the alter call but Joseph, a Source of Light minister, came up after and sort of helped give them the final push they needed. While I was talking to three girls about their relationship with Christ another girl approached me. She first asked me about our spiritual experience in Kenya so far. I explained to her how I was first impressed with how much joy these Kenyans possessed in spite of all their misfortunes and horrible situations. Then I explained how Jesus had just moved through and used the group to bring so many people to Christ, including around 10 Muslims. She responded by telling me how she had considered suicide, but she had realized how much Christ loved her so she decided not to. I was so blessed to know that she had come to the realization of God’s love for her. I felt led by God to show her John 10:10-“Satan comes to steal, kill, and destroy; but God comes to give life and give it more abundantly.” While I was sharing this with her I was thinking it was pointless because I was left with the impression that suicide was a problem further in her past. But as I was talking with my mom about the whole situation, she asked how I knew that it wasn’t something she had just dealt with during our presentation; I honestly had no answer and it was very possible that this was a recent issue. Hearing this made me feel so happy that I was open to God and read her that scripture.
I have just been so impressed with how God has rested His Spirit on the entire group and how He has used us mightily. I am honored that He has chosen me to impact the lives of these Kenyans and am expecting bigger and greater things to happen as the week goes on.
