We've moved into the Country Side Hotel in Bungoma.
Yesterday we rode boda bodas (bicycle taxis) into town and had some chips (fries) at the coffee garden restaraunt. It was sunny all morning but as we headed for our gospel outreach in Matete, we could see some very dark clouds covering the hills and coming our way. We were worried that we would be rained out, because when rain falls here it falls harder than your high-pressure shower head at home. But we prayed and for the first time our students saw God do a miracle with nature. As we spoke it in faith, the rain fell everwhere EXCEPT in the little village where we preached and performed our Human Video. Ariel shared the gospel and the response moved several of us to tears.
NEARLY 100 PEOPLE CAME FORWARD FOR SALVATION!!!!
This was an un-advertised gathering, there weren't more than 200 people within earshot! That simply does not happen in America! WOW! Last night we debriefed and today we will do it again... God will do it again.
Tomorrow we go to Amagoro, only a few kilometers from the Ugandan border. We will visit Otatai (a bush village) and perhaps even set foot in Uganda. Don't worry parents, southern Uganda is completely safe. We are all healthy and praying for miracles. Our faith has been strengthened and we have been humbled that God could use us this way.
Another answer to prayer: All three missing bags have been found and are being delivered to Eldoret, where we will return to next week. We love you church family. Please remember to pray for us, without prayer nothing happens.
More Prayer Needs:
-That we could find the perfect time to do our necessary interviews... There have been so many moments we wish to have caught on film.
-Only a few minor discomforts, a mouth sore, a bug bite, an upset stomach, all the things to be expected on a trip like this. Just pray that they wouldn't hinder us.
-That our outreaches in Amagoro and Bungoma Town will be just as fruitful
-That our technical equipment will hold up... we're surviving here in Bungoma without a battery charger
