A Prayer Of Thanksgiving

Sunday we gathered at the church at 8 a.m. A few of us traveled by bus from the church to a pool used for baptism. It was an honor to assist in the baptism of two young women.


As we returned to Kawangware the morning service had already begun. As we walked we could hear the praise music coming from the church. With the loud speakers mounted on the outside of the church the sound of worship went well into the "Congo" area of Kawangware.


This mornings message was "Run in Obedience" - Acts 8:26-38. There was a time for individual prayer after the service.


There was much rejoicing in the camp today. Many have worked hard this past week. They have had a goal to finish their latrine for this morning service. They accomplished their goal! This Sunday their new 30 ' deep, cement floor, metal sided, 2 door latrine was ready for use. They even added an enclosed extension with a cement floor for the neighbors to use for bathing. We know the angels have been rejoicing!


Our feet are still going house to house. We recently visited with a young mother of 3 children. She has asked Jesus into her heart. We returned to a hairdresser's shop. We had prayed with her earlier. She was ill and asleep on the floor when we stopped for the first time. We prayed for her health and her financial situation. Today we pray a prayer of thanksgiving. There is much to thank God for. After we prayed health returned to her body. Also someone stopped and gave her 2000 ksh /$30 US. Someone else came and gave her necessary food items in large quantities. She is over joyed at how God has blessed her.


Ps 13:6 I will sing to the Lord for he has been good to me.


To all of my family and friends in the USA,

Have a "Happy Thanksgiving"
