Kenya Update-May 2018
GODLY FAMILIES CONFERENCE – ZION BAPTIST
In the month of May 2018, Rev Moses Rianto organized a conference to reach couples and strengthen the family unity. This was received with excitement, as it is the first one in this area. After the conference we realized that many families are hurting and living in denial. Many could not live a free life with their partners. This is was an encouragement to the couples who attended that in Jesus relationships are restored. This is a big prayer issue as we seek the Lord to plan another one.

CHURCH PLANTING – KUMBA
Evangelism and and the passion to spread the good news of Jesus took us to Kumba, a far distance into the maasai of Purko, after a few days of evangelism and prayer, one community elder was used by the Lord to provide a place in his land to be used for worship and build a church at place called indoinyo ole tawuo. The new church has over twenty new converts. Please pray that the Lord will keep them strong and the new pastor who will be taking care of this new church.

WOMEN CONFERENCE – MATAPATO BAPTIST
The month of April sow us do different conferences, one being for all the Baptist churches women conference, which Rev Moses Rianto is the chairman. The theme of this conference was “Growth”. We saw a huge need to teach that we need to grow Spiritually after salvation. Christians need to grow past the basics to making disciples, doing evangelism and serving in ministry to the unreached. Many Christians are confortable only coming to church on Sunday and never want to grow to take the gospel further as we are commanded, Mathew 28:19,20. More than 200 women attended the conference
