Inter-Religious Meeting

Hello,

Muslims all over the world are now feared and people are afraid to have friendship with them. I must confess my fears too. Today marked a turning point here in Kericho. We Christians and Muslims greeted each other and had sodas together as we visited.

I must admit this is my first time doing this here in Kericho, Kenya. In other places that I have visited like Dubai and Qatar, it was not hard to mingle as there are Muslims everywhere.

During our meetings today my mind has been focused on how to win a Muslim to Christianity. I've been remembering this week too what I have been reading and re-learning new terms in the Muslim world. In particular, I've been re-learning about the use of "Allah" (God) and what it means to a Muslim. I have been reading this week also that some churches in Malaysia were torched down because they used the term Allah, and I later realised that now some Arab Christians are using the term Allah al-Ab, God the Father, to differentiate from Muslim use of the word "Allah" and make it clear that they are taking about the Christian God.

My prayer is for Muslims to change and become Christians. This step will start with relationship building which I hope will bring them to Christianity and the loving hand of God. I challenge you to take a step. Befriend a Muslim and teach them about Jesus our Lord.

God Bless

Drought in Kenya

Drought has hit Kenya so hard this year. Our crops have died and it is so hard for many people here. A few spots have gotten the crops they need but many have not. Please pray for the rain to come. Muslims & Christians will join in prayer on Sunday

Witnessing to the Muslims

Hello,

This week, we have been praying for Muslims in our community and we tried to reach them wherever they are at in schools and homes, etc. We even tried to visit hospitals to minister to them.

We could not find them in most of the neighborhoods so we headed to the school they started in our community of Kericho, Kenya. Wow! the school has been closed for lack of students! Though the school is well built and cost million to set up, it seems the community has said no to sending their children there in spite of their poverty.

This has really encouraged my soul as I see that the work we have been doing has borne fruit. We will keep moving in the same speed to reach others who are hidden even here in the slums of Kericho.

Continue praying for us as it is a daunting task. Please view more photos in the album below.

P.S. I was encouraged by this article in the news today about the US army ministries to the Afghan muslims. I really like their mission and attitude. The title is witness for Jesus in Afghanistan
