On Monday the 27th I will begin my long journey from Fier to Embu in Kenya. The purpose of my visit is three fold. First I will be preaching at a pastor’s conference. It is hoped that between 20-30 pastors will gather to hear messages on the theme of “The work of a pastor.” I will God willing be preaching 6 times in days so pray for energy, clarity and the anointing of the Holy Spirit as I preach. After each session there will be a time for questions and answers; pray for wisdom for my answers! I have also been asked to speak about “the ministers self care.” We are going to do this in the form of an interview. Pray that all that I say will not just be Biblical but helpful for the situations that these pastors are facing.
I am also going to be teaching at the Angaza Bible school on the books of Ruth and Esther. Today, May 18th, students are arriving from different countries for this school. I have been given 13 hours to teach on these books. Pray for clarity, for passion and for razor sharp application of the Word! Pray that the Spirit would illuminate minds and hearts as the Word is taught. Pray too for me as I preach at student meetings during the week at a local college.
Then I hope to travel to Nakuru to visit Ronald Kogo and see the work there. I will have opportunities to teach from Esther and Ruth there and see what is happening. Pray that my visit will encourage the church there.
My rough plan is as follows:
- May 27th travel to London
- May 28th travel to Nairobi
- May 29th travel to Embu
- May30th/31st Pastors conference Embu
- June 2nd Preaching Embu

- June 5th Teaching at Embu college Christian Union
- June 8th travel to Nakuru
- June 9-12th teaching at Nakuru
- June 13th travel from Nairobi to Tirana!
Please pray for me during this time! Last year’s trip truly changed my life and I am excited to see what God has to teach me this time.
