Taking The Gospel To The Turkana, and sticking it to the devil.

 Tomorrow morning will mark our second week long excursion into the Kenyan bush to reach out with The Holy Spirit and expect great things from God.
 The Turkana people are one of the many ethnic tribes here in Kenya and our whole team has the oppurtunity to spend a week with them teaching, preaching, visiting houses in the community and fellowshipping with the localized church body.
  I have already spent some time there with the Turkana and I have seen the dark oppression in much of the area.
One home visit I participated in a few weeks ago saw one of my team mates, Holli,  becoming breathless as she enetered the house of an older mother named Monica. 
The Holy Sprirt has really moved in many of our students with physical intercessory burdens. They feel it before they hear it or see it and so that we know what God wants us to do. 
Its been INTENSE.

She, Monica,  told us that some “jealous” people in the community had gone to a local witch doctor to have her home cursed.
Since then she had suffered from night terrors, night sweats, constant snakes and rats in and only in the night.  She would barely look us in the face.
We prayed diligently and ministered until the heaviness seemed to lift and when returning next week found her in better conditions. The snakes and rats had gone she said but still she would not smile, until one student Liz touched her hand, locked eyes with her and asked her to take her authority as a Daughter of God and shout the name of her LORD.
 She did so, slowly becoming louder until she stood up and began jumping and shouting…SMILING, Yelling the name of JESUS!

                                          OH BOY. Do we want more of this or what??
    I sure do. Stealing people (who dont belong to him anyway) from the devil is a good thing.
 We will be there Monday to Sunday this upcoming week and we as always need you prayers.
 
So we are almost half way done this trip already!!… It is hard to believe but there is still much to do.
 I should remind you once again of the team blog page where the students seem to have been furiously blogging since we arrived.
You can check this out for so many of the great stories and burdens from our trip so far. I hope you will, I am positive it will bless you.

 One last thing i would love to bring before you guys who are praying for us…THANK YOU.
 The Lord has really shown me and several, if not most of the students on my team that though we are DECLARED by the Father children of His we, and definately I , harbour in many ways orphan hearts.
Like the lost kid who has been brought off the streets into a loving home and reassured of sonship again and again somehow still in his heart (and actions) he still feels he must stash some of his bread in the drawer,
just in case your new home doesnt work out.
Just in case your not really wanted.
Just in case you blow it.
Just incase God doesnt really want you there.
  Fear becomes the name of the game and It makes genuinely loving and hurting for and celebrating for people very, very hard.

 Romans 5:5 says that God pours His love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit. Not our ears or our eyes or anything else but our HEARTS. We need this. Truly, We want this too.
                               If God burdens you for this we would love your intercession.

                                                            Thank God for all of you.
