Pray for Kisumu

As I posted last month, I have been invited to travel to the country of Kenya the last week of July this year, to participate in a huge Pastor and Church leader's conference, and outdoor crusade in the city of Kisumu. I am excited to say that I am making plans to attend this event. I will be teaching in the conference, and helping in the crusade. This is sponsored by ICCL (International Center for Church Leadership). Over 1,000 pastors and church leaders are expected to attend the conference during the day. In the evening, in an open-air soccer arena, they are expecting up to 50,000 Kenyans to attend. As I reported earlier, God is moving mightily among the Maasi tribe (which live in that area). ICCL is helping to equip these leaders to make the most of their "open door" to the Gospel in that region. Kisumu is the third largest city in the country - home to the Vice President of the country. It is right on Lake Victoria, which borders Tanzania. As you look at these maps, please use them as a prayer reminder for this important week. I really do believe that this is Kenya's time for a visitation of the Holy Spirit. We are expecting "signs and wonders" to be manifested, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

Islam is on the rise in this part of the world. The world news organizations have reported lately the high-jacking of many merchant ships in the Indian Ocean by Somalia pirates. These are radical Muslims, who are funding a move to build mosques throughout Kenya - their goal if one mosque for every 10 kilometers. God is also on the move in Kenya! ICCL is digging wells too - helping to build churches - feed the hungry - and show them that God is alive.

Please realize that Allah has never raised a dead person - Mohammad has never healed anyone! Jesus Christ raises the dead - heals blinded eyes - causes the lame to walk, the dumb to speak, and the deaf to hear. Jesus Christ conquered cancer, heart disease, and every other malady of mankind at the Cross! We serve and declare unashamedly that Jesus Christ is Lord!!

I am asking every reader of this blog to pray for me as I go. I am asking you to pray for Kenya - and especially for this conference and crusade starting the week of July 25th. If you would like to help support his effort, please contact me and I'll be able to give you that information. You may email me at: dtrailey@aol.com

If you would like more information about ICCL, I encourage you to go to their web site. After you have viewed it, go to the "media" page - on the right hand side of that page are links to two very inspiring and informative YouTube videos: "Miracle in Maasiland" and "Crisis and Opportunity". Watch them. The web address is: www.iccl-transformation.com

I'll keep you posted as this time approaches. Thanks for praying and supporting this effort for the "glory of God"!!
