The Naz - God's Day - Kenya 2012

Day Eight - 

Sunday - God's Day - in Kenya is ALWAYS my favorite!!  We headed to our sister church, Ewaso Nigro Church of the Nazarene, excited to worship with the people that we have grown to love over the last week!  As we arrived we were greeted with open arms and big smiles...as we always are here in Ewaso! The first sight we saw was our friend Moses leading the kids Sunday School class under the tree...and since last Sunday it's more then doubled in size!! He had 29 last Sunday and 70 this week!!! Wow! :)  He was SO excited! He took every childs name down in his book and told them he would visit their home this week! We started to gather in the church for our service and we saw faces of friends that we had laughed with this week, brothers and sisters that we had worked with this week and people we would never forget!  The service started with a song and the voices of the people were so full of joy and praise for our Lord!! It's one of the best sounds in the world! Then Pastor Daniel asked if anyone had a testimony...and almost immediatly a woman stood up and headed forward. She shared that she had been praying for her brother to come to Christ for a long time and at 6:30am this morning he called her and insisted that he needed to come to church with her. The brother was just a row in front of me and I could see as she spoke that he was visibly shaken! Pastor Daniel then asked the man to come forward and he received Christ in his heart for the very first time! After the service Jim Burgess went over to greet the young man and welcome him to the family of God and the man shared more of his story. He told Jim that all night the Devil was with him in his room. When the Devil would get closer to him he would call on the name of Jesus and the Devil would go back to the corner of the room. He said that all night he fought with the Devil and repeatedly called on the name of Jesus and as soon as the sun came up he knew he needed to call his sister! Jim encouraged the man that now that God was in his life he had no need to fear the Devil because he has the power of Christ in him! It was an AMAZING morning!  One in which we saw God in every moment!!!
