i went to kenya!

and boy did we see victory. we needed visas for Bangladesh. I tell you what, when you want to see victory, go to a foreign visa office and ask G*d to do it for you and he shows up.

on our journey, i was able to share hope in G*d several times, long bus rides are awesome. East africans are so sick of corruption. It happens right in front of you, the government repossessing vehicles without good reason, prostitutes paying the police off with their evening earnings...the list goes on. so, what is the answer to this? millions of aid has been poured into africa, and what is changing? nothing. churches are everywhere, and people fill them multiple times a week. so what is it?
The kingdom of G*d has not yet come here. We need to see movement from heaven to earth. A kingdom not of words, but of power.

I believe Kenya needs to go back to the principles of the B*ble and they will see change. In the 70s, Kenya and South Korea were neck and neck economically. Kenya remains in the same place while S. Korea has blasted forward. So what is different? S. Korea who had shunned the g*spel for years and years allowed the church to come in, the underground church had developed perseverance and was ready to speak up, people came back to the L*rd. Their lives CHANGED, they followed the principles of J*sus with obedience, they devoted themselves to prayer and intercession and God blessed that.

So, this is the answer we need to be diligent in our walks with G*d, seriously allowing the transforming of our minds to happen, welcome discipleship, believe for miracles, believe that heaven will come to earth.

that's a bit of a rant.

okay, bless you wonderful people. i love this land. thanks for keeping up with the posts even though they have been few and far between.

Bekah of G*d
You share a good & pertinent word. The Western Church can learn much from S. Korea, China, etc. Actually, we need to, & the sooner the better!
