Leaving for Africa Tomorrow

[ManOfWord]

May the Lord bless you going and coming and may bless your ministry while you're there as well!

BTW, Mark really needs to get a REAL life. He's real piece of work to criticize an apostolic work in progress. He should apologize IMO.

If Mark were to find something positive.....I dont think he would know what to do with it!!!!

We are in Nairobi! We slept twelve hours last night; finally SOME SLEEP after two days. We were exhausted. We had to go exchange a bunch of money, get bottled water, visit a Bible book store and a few other things yesterday. We have met a lot of people. Be sure to read my other thread about meeting the missionaries.

How is the situation in Kenya right now?
Calm, restless?

We are back in Nairobi after four days in the bush country. I absolutely love it here!!! We had an amazing pastor's conference - the Holy Ghost fell in such powerful ways and people were set free from so many things. We had about 200+ pastors & wives there. Love & Truth has 28 pastors here, but there were lots of other ones at the conference. Then yesterday we dedicated our new headquarter's church building in Bukempe that our Bishop here pastors. It was packed and has grown so much in two years!!

Church started at 5 AM yesterday and we were supposed to be there at ten. We got there at 10 AM and left at 3 PM and it was still going strong. They really love to worship. I got lots of really great video and also still pictures. I'll post some when I get home.

I got to see my three little Sherris. Sherri Precious Cupples Mabwa was there one day and I got to give her a new dress. Sherri Ayoyi was there the whole conference. They are both 3-1/2. Then I have a new baby named "Pastor Sherri Wafula" and I got to see her for the first time. It's so much fun to take clothing to them; they are so grateful. We were able to give new clothing to all 82 of our pastor's kids, plus shirts for the pastors and gift bags for the pastor's wives.

The whole conference theme was on "Blessings and Curses" and Eddie taught on the power of the spoken word and lots of other areas related. The day he taught on witchcraft curses, he could barely breathe and speak the entire session. He was coming against so much resistance in the spirit, but he recognized what it was and just kept teaching. At the end, he was going to pray for people against witchcraft curses in their families and immediately when he started to pray, all the power went out. It's the only time it happened in the whole three days. We knew it was the enemy and so everyone just prayed and prayed and pled the blood of Jesus and we had a Holy Ghost breakthrough. It was so awesome!

Don't eat monkeybrains!!!!!

I am glad you're having a great trip, my BIL (and pastor) and nephew just recently got back from Ghana, my nephew is only 16 and his first trip overseas, he had an amazing time with the beautiful people.

Have safe travels!

The people here are so humble and sweet. You can't help but just love on them!!! And they love the Lord so much, even in the midst of terrible struggles and famine. It makes me ashamed. They actually took an offering for us at the pastor's conference. Eddie and I sat there and wept as people literally came and gave the "widow's mite". It was very humbling.
