December events

During the last weeks before Christmas we have had the Sunday services in the Dagoretti Corner facilities like before, but other gatherings and Bible studies during the weekdays in various places: in our home, Steve’s home, Ashford’s home, in the Arboretum –park, in a food court of a mall, in a city café… We have shared the Word, eaten, and had good fellowship times.

December 7-8^th p. David Kisaame from Nambale visited Nairobi. We had a Bible study and a dinner in our house. He stayed overnight with us, and the next day we accompanied him with the group to the matatu station for his trip to Kisii (he went to see P. Moses also). During his time here he was able to meet John, Steve, Genesis, Ashford, Nancy, Beth, Florence, and Esther. He desires to visit Nairobi more often.

Another memorable event was last Thursday’s party in Ashford’s house. He had arranged a ‘private’ matatu drive for the group – he lives in the outskirts of Nairobi. His wife Salome and the two sisters-in-law had cooked a traditional Kenyan meal. We ate, talked, laughed, and prayed together. P. David finished the Book of Romans –class.

December 20^th was the last Sunday service with us. Since we will leave now for Finland, please keep praying for the future plans for this group.

Life on Mission field is great!

I (Hanna) had a great opportunity to spend 3 months on Mission field in Kenya, Nairobi, with wonderful people. I cannot find enough words to share with you how exciting time it was!
I am so thankful to God that I could be in the middle of precious Kenyans and get to know some of them. I and my missionary friend, Saija, many times amazed God´s grace toward us. God wants to use us, who are weak and unable, in His plan.
It is not about us it is about Jesus!
I am willing to go back if God opens the way.
"But He said to me, My grace (My favor and loving-kindness and mercy) in enough for you (sufficient against any danger and enables you to bear the trouble manfully); for My strength and power are made perfect (fullfilled and completed) and show themselves most effective in (your) weakness. Therefore, I will all the more gladly glory in my weaknesses and infirmities, that the strength and power of Christ (the Messiah) may rest (yes, may pitch a tent over and dwell) upon me!" 2.Cor.12:9 Amplified Bible

Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send laborers into His harvest. Mt. 9:38

We (Jukka and Helena) did pray, and God did sent us to see the great harvest in Nairobi. We met many, whom God brought to our fellowship. These people are ready for the Grace Message of the Finished Work of Christ.

We left Nairobi, but Nairobi didn't leave us.

So, pray with us that The Lord of the harvest would sent us back to Nairobi, to live there.
