The weekend 20-22.11.09 we (p. David and Minna) had the opportunity to travel to Western Kenya, to the small town of Nambale, near to the Ugandan border, to meet p. David Kisaame who started Greater Grace church there about 5 months ago. In the ‘mini conference’, there were p. Duane George from Baltimore and p. Sam Muhima from Kampala, Uganda, as visitors. It was a privilege for us to meet and have fellowship (fun) with these men of God. For us, going there meant 10 hours in a bus on Kenyan roads, but it was worth of it all.
From Friday afternoon until Sunday afternoon there were meetings and raps in p. Kisaame’s church and in another church. People came to listen to the teaching from some other churches, too, whose pastors are attending p. Kisaame’s Bible school. The biggest group of people was there on Sunday, maybe 100. The messages were about the grace and love of God, the sacrifice of Christ, eternal security, the faithfulness of God etc. There were many people who probably heard this kind of teaching for the first time ; they checked with their questions if they heard it correctly – can God be this good, really?
The hospitality of the local people was abundant. We enjoyed many delicious meals in their simple homes. One night, after the dark had come, we ate in the light of one single lantern, but the love between us lighted our hearts.
The transportation to different places in Nambale area was arranged by the local ‘taxis’: motorbikes! We had two passengers sitting behind the driver, p. Duane and p. Sam on one, p. David and Minna on another. We really enjoyed the rides!
The people there were open and friendly. Please pray for p. Kisaame as God is using him starting this amazing work of GGWO in Nambale, Kenya.
