It’s All About God!
It is hard to believe that just over a week ago we were worshipping God with his people in Kenya. I am still neck deep in awe by how God radically changed the lives of 18 souls willing to go to the other side of the world to serve Him! While we were in Kenya there were a few situations we encountered that had the potential to waylay the morale of our team. In the past two weeks over 70 people, specifically non-muslim Kenyans, were murdered in politically/religiously motivated attacks in Lamu, a coastal city that is close to the Somalia - Kenya border. Lamu is only 6-8 hours from Mombasa, where we were ministering. Even during a very dark time of national tragedy in Kenya, God’s light shined even brighter! Our team worked harder and we shared the Gospel with more boldness. We laughed and cried and prayed for the people God sent us to serve. God had a mission for us to accomplish while we were there and we weren’t going to let Satan stop us!
Our theme for the trip was “It’s all about God”. I was amazed to see the other 17 team members as well as myself learn so much about who we are in Christ. When we clear away the distractions of life and focus on what Jesus called us to do, you can accomplish so much more for the Kingdom! We all found so much fulfillment in the simplicity of sharing the Gospel in the villages, serving in the clinic, or just bringing a smile to a child who seemed to be having a bad day. I know God was glorified in all of that. The light of Christ shines so bright in the darkness; it was awesome, in every sense of the word, to witness that first hand. Lives are being changed in Kenya and all around the world because of the hope that Gospel brings. Let us share that hope with urgency to the world around us and may God give us grace to do so!
