489 Respond to Invitation on First Day

We thank God for a great start to the outreach here in Rubavu, Rwanda. 489 people prayed with us to receive Jesus Christ into their lives at the openning Festival events this evening. The audience of about 4000 was very patient and enthusiastic, responding well to my message at the openning rally. See some pictures on our Facebook Page

There is incredible unity among the churches of the city. They were all united in their morning services with each church preaching on the Festival theme. We give God the glory.

Continue to pray for the remaining seven days of activities that thousands more will come to Christ as we take the festival to various neighborhoods around the city. Pray that the hundreds of leaders attending the leadership conferences will be equipped transformationally to impact their communities for Christ.

You can support this effort financially by following the donate button on the right panel on this page. We need your help to meet our outreach costs to these needy communities of Rubavu and nearby Goma in the DRC.

Adiedo Embraces Hope

World Evangelist Sammy Wanyonyi preaching in Adiedo, Kenya Orphaned by HIV/AIDS, she rarely speaks, not even to her visiting school sponsor Pam Craig who traveled as part of our team to Adiedo from Spokane Washington. But last Saturday afternoon in the closing moments of the evangelistic festival, Everline walked over to Pam and asked if she could be introduced to the preacher (me). For once, she had a smile on her face. The eleven year-old had just asked Jesus Christ into her heart as Lord and Savior. Several hundreds of people respond to the invitation to follow Christ on day two of Adiedo Festival All across the soccer-field were stories like Everline's. I cannot forget a ten year-old young man named Ochieng. On Friday night, he waited backstage patiently for me to leave the stage and then boldly walked up to me extending his hand to greet me. Although his clothes were torn here and there, I could tell that he had worn his Sunday best to the meeting.

My Body Fails Me - #SHINEGlobalMissionChallenge- #MuhangaRwanda2014

Yes, I want to tell you all about what God is doing here in Muhanga but my body fails me. I want to tell you how He is moving through our Kinderroots team where already several thousands of children have been ministered to over the last two days on hills, plains and valleys surrounding Muhanga. Where hundreds have already given their lives to Christ. I want to tell you how God is moving through our Prisoners of Hope outreach program to where three thousand prisoners were reached with the love of Christ earlier this afternoon with hundreds of them giving their lives to Christ. Where we delivered supplies worth several thousands of dollars to the delight of the prison officials following a devastating fire at the facility that gutted much of what they had beyond salvaging. How God worked to open doors so our team could go in and bring the Good News of Christ. How doors to another prison with even more inmates are wide open for the gospel tomorrow morning. I want to tell you of s

Yes I am back to Blogging

I've been gone from blogging for several years now. I am glad to be back. I am looking forward to keep this blog alive and well. So much has happened since my last blog. In addition to the global work of evangelism, we launched a new work here in the Twin Cities. The initiative is called Merge. More on why the name Merge later. Yes, we have been busy as ever sharing the Good News with thousands around the world. But more so, in the last two years God has shown us that the Nations are also right here in our own backyard. Over one million first and second generation from over one hundred nations in the Twin Cities alone. Our cities are more and more global. The people speak multiple religious languages. They carry multiple national identities. They fall in different social and cultural groups. With such diversity of peoples at our door step we must ask the question: Is the "Great Commission" still Great? Is Jesus' command given a couple millennia ago to &
