In October, I went to Kenya for the first time. I had the privilege of being the main speaker for the Church of Pentecost during their annual National Leaders’ Conference. I have known the host pastor for about 11 years before he was transferred from Ghana to Kenya to serve there as national overseer of the Church of Pentecost.
I spoke to his leaders on topics ranging from winning the war over the flesh, being led by the Spirit of God, and ending with a passionate message on world evangelism. That last session turned into a great time of prayer as we laid hands on each pastor, the elders, deacons, deaconesses, and all other participants. It was an awesome time in the Lord. At the end of the three-day session, they all came individually to express their appreciation for my coming so far to teach them and impart into their lives.
On the last Sunday, we traveled to the Masai land where we were to meet with a group of their churches holding a joint service. Many of their members walked 10 miles or more to attend the church service. This is not a rare occasion, as I was told that they often walk great distances to attend church. They normally begin church by 10 am and will close after 2 pm. They will be praising the Lord, dancing, worshiping, receiving the Word of God, and continue to dance for more hours! I delivered a message I felt was from the Lord on winning the war of love. This turned out to be an important message, because the Masai people have as part of their culture taking revenge themselves for wrongs committed against them. We also were led to pray for the entire church and their work throughout the Masai land.
As I was leaving, I felt great satisfaction knowing that my journey was successful. First of all, because the pastors at the retreat reacted with such affirmation to the messages. Second, we are believing God to send a group of students to Kenya and into the Masai tribal area next year, I needed to go there beforehand to assess the ministry possibilities and see the locations for the crusade and places of ministry. I also needed to have the people get to know me. Not only were they able to get to know me, but on the Sunday I ministered in the Masai church, they gave me one of their traditional neck pieces, which symbolizes their acceptance of me. I believe that a year from now, the Lord is going to do a great work through the team that will go to Kenya.
Thank you for your prayers! You were there with me!
God bless you, Pastor Aaron
