Thursday at camp

If my people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. II Chronicles 7:14

If ever we have seen this scripture fleshed out, it was today. We joined in the weekly Homecare Fellowship prayer meeting today. Rarely have we experienced prayer with such passion and desperation for a nation, their leaders, spiritual leaders, and families. As the women cried out to God, their prayers were centered on confession of the sins of the nation, their total dependency on God to heal and restore their country and place men and women after His heart in places of authority. They prayed over those who shepherd believers in Kenya for protection, purity, and expanded ministry. They cried out over the decline of the family, confessing sexual sin, selfishness and failure to honor the marriage vows so that God would heal and restore families. This all lifted up while we were on our knees before the Lord. Homecare Fellowship has been asking for one million prayer intercessors to pray specifically for their upcoming political elections. They know the power of prayer and put it into action! It was very convicting to think about our upcoming elections; few of us have been stirred or seen prayer such as this for our own country. We have much to learn from our sisters and brothers here! What a privilege to share this time of testimony, sharing from the Word, and especially, such powerful prayer.

It’s hard to believe that tomorrow is our last day with the children. The week has flown by; it has been so very full, but we are trusting that the seed sown this week will continue to be watered, grow, and be harvested. We know that His Word never returns void, so we rest in His promises to complete His work.

We are getting to know our Kenyan team better and are so inspired and challenged by them. Pray for each one on both teams that the Lord will fill us, renew us, give us His strength and energy and prepare the hearts of the teens coming on Monday.

We stand in awe of all the Lord has done, is doing, and confident that He will indeed reign over Kibera. With God, all things are possible!
