Ministry is growing and things are also getting a bit hectic. We are now able to put three Sudanese kids through school. Two are in Kindergarten and one in grade one. Hopefully by the end of this month we'll be getting David in grade three.
At the Bible centre, we are continually seeing more signs of revival. On Saturday after sharing, one young man called Robert said in front of the congregation that he would like to be born again. He confessed that he's been a conman and a drunk and wanted Jesus to save him. This came after a massage I was preaching, telling the congregation that accepting Jesus is like enlisting into the army. There's no promise that things will always get better. But for better or for worse, Jesus is looking for soldiers who're willing to follow Him and establish His Kingdom here on earth.
More and more youths are responding to this call.
Linda and I would like to take this time to thank
those who have been standing with us in support,
prayers and encouragement. Thanks for choosing to be part of the team in spreading Kingdom goals in Kenya.
Be assured of our prayers and be encouraged in your calling. When Christ will be rewarding those who tirelessly worked for His Kingdom come, youll be amazed to see your name and reward appear on His list.
Nairobi Believers Mission is involved in mission in the slums of Nairobi. At team from many churches worked together there in July. Other events included, sports evangelism, which
brought hundreds of people together to watch soccer tournaments hence giving us a chance to minister into their lives. Many received Christ and were greatly encouraged. We also staged open-air evangelistic campaigns in the slum streets. Many responded to the gospel giving us the challenge for follow up/discipleship. Since then; the NBM fellowship has experienced a 5% growth in attendance, believers from the NBM team grew Spiritually from advancing Gods
Kingdom, an experience that cant be learnt in a
classroom set up.

Nairobi Believers Mission works with many churches. In July, 2005, we had been praying with anticipation for the Nairobi Youth Mission, organized by a partnership of city churches. Our target area was in the Slum of Kibera in Nairobi, the largest slum area in Kenya. The living
standards are unimaginable and beyond explanation. It takes a personal experience for one to get the picture. My conclusion is that, Gods love rules the place.
For the first time, Kibera experienced the gospel
brought by young believers from African nations and around the world. After a week of prayers and orientation, we teamed up into groups of three during the day for person to person evangelism. Each day was filled with reports of salvation and miracles from the field. During lunch hours we went into different schools & colleges, teaching, preaching and creating
awareness on issues such as; career development, HIV/Aids, Peer pressure, Sexuality all tied to the gospel of Christ.
Nairobi Believers Mission planted more churches in western Kenya. On 3rd of July 2005, we had our first sunday meeting in the region. The church was planted under a tree! During sunrise we set up chairs under a tree in the shade. As time went on people started streaming in
from as far as eight Kilometers away over the hills and across the valley. Because of the heat, we had to move our seats in the direction of the shade as time progressed. This is where we witnessed to all the testimonies and the fruit of Gods work in Kibigori in western Kenya.
In order for the church to continue in discipleship,
our prayer needs are:
- The local church leadership to continue raising
leaders for the harvest
- Scripture ownership/ bibles for the disciples
- Church structure
- Evangelism material/ Equipment
- Small group/ bible study facilitators
- Cross mission exchange programs
Nairobi Believers Mission events in June-July 2005 included, door to door evangelism (one on one), and open-air campaigns every evening at the local market places. At night we had praise and worship, and showed the Jesus movie and other Christian videos late into the night. The highlight is that hundreds of the villagers responded to the word and gave their lives to Jesus.
Each evening, teams came back with exciting reports of what the Spirit of Christ was doing among us. Salvation, healing and deliverance were the talk of the day. In one village, an old lady had a dream of a man compelling her to be born again. While she was still trying to figure out the dream, a team of three believers walked into her home with the gospel. She readily received Christ and to her amazement, two of
her sick grandsons got healed too. We witnessed so many miracles due to openness to the gospel.
Nairobi Believers Mission is privileged to be part of what God is doing in Africa today. During the months of June-July, 2005, the church was part of some dynamic outreaches; church planting and evangelism programs.
In rural Kibigori (located 50 Kilometers east of the western Kenya city Kisumu), NBM and local missioners organised an outreach program that planted a church of well over two hundred locals on the first Sunday.
God honored this work due to the commitment and unity of team members. The targeted area was 8 x 3 Kilometers, covered on foot in temperatures as high as 33 C/98 F during the daytime. Teams of three covered 11 villages each day for the length of the mission.
Among the preparations, every believer was in prayer, fasting and consecration during the whole operation.

Geoff, we thank God for the chance to minister together. To all our brothers and sisters in Australia, the Pacific Islands, Nepal and worldwide, let's keep seeking God's face for Transformation.
