Jambo! Karibu kwenye blogu yetu! (Hello and welcome to our blog)

Greetings from Kenya! What a week! God is good. 

This is the first update from our trip since arriving in Nairobi at 2:00 am on Tuesday morning. Since then we have been enjoying fellowship with friends – new and old – sharing meals together and enjoying some of God’s amazing creation. Already we have felt very welcomed by the locals, and I have been blown away by the hospitality shown to us. 

Something that struck me quite soon after arriving was the Kenyan Christian’s awareness of God’s blessing and provision despite trials. We have heard many sad stories from Christians hurt by their families and friends and of course COVID, yet their faithfulness during these Job-like periods is a real encouragement. My own complaints at home quickly pale in comparison. There is also a real sensitivity to the spiritual warfare so prevalent in this country (and ours too!), and has caused Christians here to rely heavily on prayer and fasting to break strong, and sometimes generational bondage. And surprise surprise, it works! Another great encouragement. 

As we have not yet reached Samia (flying there tomorrow), this week has been a great opportunity to prepare. Jeremy and I haven’t worked together much before, so it has been a good chance to get to know each other and figure out how we will best work as a team. We’re very excited for what the next three weeks hold, and would appreciate your continued support through prayer. Please pray for safe travels, for freedom for those still impacted by spiritual trauma, and that God’s purposes for Samia and its surroundings will come to fruition.

Blessings, 

Jeremy and Samuel 

‘Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.’ Hebrews 4:16

The next few days see Jeremy and Sam having a few days of rest and preparation before they begin ministry in the coming days.

There will also be time for catching up with those in Kenya. A time of putting plans forward.

Please continue to pray for the unity of spirit and vision.

Pray the very word and anointing of the Lord would be confirmed.

Pray against any spiritual walls, barriers or attacks. 

Pray the word of the Lord would be well received and hearts released.

As the team spends the next two days travelling here are a few points to remember in prayer. These will be sent out via text message to those that signed up to receive updates. You can sign up using this form HERE.

Jeremy and Sam will be travelling from the 12th to the 14th of June. They will arrive and meet the Kenyan team on June 14th.

Please pray for safe and relaxed travel and that the Holy Spirit will cover all details with divine coverage.

Pray that they would travel in good health and arrive fresh, prepared and anointed.

Please pray for a receptive anointing on those who are preparing to receive our team. Pray also for their health and travels to be able to attend sessions.
