I recently had the honor of meeting The Honorable Kennedy Nyagudi from Kisumu, Kenya (East Africa). Kenn, as his friends call him, is a minister of the Gospel, as well as a former Parliament member in Kenya. He is the founder of Praise Development in Kenya, which isdoing so many things --- putting shoes on shoeless children -- feeding the hungry -- winning the lost to Christ -- but one of his greatest works is drilling wells and putting in pumping stations for people who desperately need clean water. Pictured above is the well-drilling truck the foundation owns, which has already helped to drill 10 wells and one pumping station (with many more to come). I also had the honor of meeting Pastor Mike Brawan of Kenya -- a real "fireball" preacher who is fearless. Mike is reaching his people in such a powerful manner.
The opportunities to reach the country of Kenya have never been greater. The challenges are sometimes overwhelming -- but when you see what these African brothers are d
oing and how ready they are to "do the work of the Kingdom" - it makes you know that the Lord of the Harvest is truly sending out laborers
oing and how ready they are to "do the work of the Kingdom" - it makes you know that the Lord of the Harvest is truly sending out laborersIt was so exciting to hear of how Kenn and his team were able to provide last year 200 bicycles to 200 Pastors! That was exciting.
I also had the opportunity to talk at length with my good friend (and college buddy) Dr. Gary Kellner, founding President of ICCL (International Center for Christian Leadership). ICCL is doing so much to reach people groups around the world -- both in Kenya and in other countries of the world. They hold huge crusades (with up to 50,000 people) and conduct Pastor'
s Conferences (in the Ukraine - and in Kenya). Again, it's exciting to hear what God is doing around the world. Dr. Kellner has asked me to come with him to Kisumu, Kenya this July for a great crusade and Pastor's conference. I'm excited about the possibilities of being a part of such an awesome event. Pray with me for direction in this, and for the financial support to make the trip. [pictured: Pastor Mike Brawan, Dr. Gary Kellner, and the Honorable Kennedy Nyagudi]
