Kenya Prayer Update #4
And here’s a follow up, again from Leslie after talking with Mike on the phone:
The church-planting training was totally awesome on Sunday. In the morning, the team spoke at several different churches and were supposed to work on the iron sheets (roofs for the guest house at Dadaab). They never got to the iron sheets because the Lord showed up in such a powerful way during the training. So Mike is sick with diarrhea and is dehydrated, but the Lord have him strength to teach four hours. But Chris took over in the afternoon and gave a totally God-inspired and convicting talk on passing these things on to the children. Apparently, she is like the pied piper there with children following her everywhere she goes, holding her hands and touching her. She taught them how to sing Jesus Loves Me, and they sang for the training, I think. It was really touching. 
Mike finished up the training Sunday afternoon despite his illness, and the Holy Spirit took over, according to his words. He ditched his material and shared that they don’t need more education but they just need to follow Jesus and obey him. He shared several testimonies of what God is doing all over the world with people who are willing to go for broke with him and the stories of transformation and gospel harvest as a result of their surrender and love for Jesus. He challenged them all to stand up if they were choosing this day to give up their lives for Jesus and be a person that God would use for his Kingdom. About a quarter of them stood up (roughly 40 people, I think). Then Mike led them in prayer to be ready to walk into martyrdom, to surrender their children, etc. Prompted by these prayers, they invited any of the sick to come forward for healing prayer so that all of them could immediately practice “real Christianity.” Tons of people flooded the stage area, and there were much fewer to pray for them. There wasn’t time or opportunity to ask them what ailment they had, so the team and other prayer warriors had to just listen to the Lord and pray according to the Spirit. This time went so long, because God was doing so much. At the end, they invited people to give testimony of how God has just healed them. And five women spoke up and witnessed to God’s healing. I think the team was so blessed to be a part of that.
Tomorrow is the last full day of training. And Mike doesn’t know if the others will do the iron sheets or not. It sounds like the team is doing well though apart from Mike’s sickness. Please continue to pray for them–for miracles and amazing things. Thank you for praying, BayLight family!
Love, Leslie for the team
