Sharing the Good News in Africa! South AfricaAbove the South Africa team of 4 is sharing a message of Jesus, our only hope to an assembly of several hundred high school students in South Africa. One of the fellow students had passed away over the weekend and the team was asked to share a message with them and pray for them and the family of the student who passed away. Matthew Niemela was asked by the FM to go to South Africa from Liberia, where he is currently serving the Lord for an expended period of time. He filled in for Pastor Bob Maki who could not make the trip to SA due to doctors orders, resulting from the sickness he picked up in Haiti.  Pastor Frank Famiyeh (center) of Ghana was asked by the FM to visit South Africa as one of the pastors for this trip. It is wonderful to be able to use an African pastor to minister to other Africans!
Kenya A group of six people went to Kenya in October and November. The trip was very blessed, and as usual very interesting. This year again we had to deal with people who were said to be possessed by the devil due to witchcraft. We had to deal with lots of mud caused by daily rain, and once again experienced being robbed as we traveled. However, through it all, God was faithful. Many souls came to repentance and faith.
Among these was a Muslim man named Peter, who repented, believed, and was baptized. Also baptized were many orphan children, and a few other new believers. A story about the conversion of Peter will be in the next issue of WHERE HE LEADS. (pic below is of Peter and his family) As part of our teachings on Baptism, we instruct the pastors that we work with around the world, that as soon as a person repents and believes, they are ready for baptism. There is no point in waiting for us to arrive in their country to hold baptisms. Baptism is the work of God, so once a person repents and believes, there is nothing to hinder them from being baptized.
As you can see pictured throughout this report, services were held in churches, orphanages, village squares, schools, and even one time in a hotel for their staff. God is good and worthy to be praised! Or as we say in Kenya, Buena Asafeeway. (phonically spelled) 
Please be greeted from the brothers and sisters in Christ in Kenya and SA. Many wished to send their greetings, and they assured us that they pray for us often.

Repentance and reconciliation is so very sweet! These two dear friends suffered for five years with a broken relationship. However, God was so gracious as to allow these men to each humble themselves and seek forgiveness one from the other while we were there this month! Now they once again travel together in the Army of God!
