 WEEK 1 October 9, 2008
Team USA 2008
Arrived safely in Kenya
The Team of 6 left from LAX airport on October 7th and arrived safely, excited to begin assisting the efforts in Kenya. Jesus Frees Ministries' Executive Director Mike Freese and Missions Directors Ezra and Pastor Sherry Cox will lead the team  which consists of registered nurses, Pastor Sherry and Jessie Chalfant, builders, Mike Freese and Larry Segrist, agriculture specialist, Ezra Cox and Puppeteer, Elisha Cox. (Cheryl Freese was unable to make the trip because her mom, Betty (B) Price is facing serious health issues. Cheryl hopes to join the Team on Thanksgiving Day.
First on the agenda for Team USA 2008 is a Tent Meeting in Nanyuki, Kenya, beginning Sunday October 12th and ending Sunday October 19th. Nanyuki is located on the equator about one hour from Nyeri. It was founded by settlers in 1907 and it still has something of a frontier feel. This is enhanced by shops like the Settler's Stores. Nanyuki is close to a famous photo safari preserve called "Sweetwaters" where the team will spend a day before they return back to the States.
 In the past Nanyuki has not been receptive to the Gospel. We are praying for this Tent Meeting to change the reputation and for many souls to be saved. When we stopped in the town last year, one of the shop owners, David, accepted Jesus as his personal savior. It will be great to see how much he has matured in the Lord.
Would you like to take a short term missions trip to Kenya?

| Pastor Wachira: Moi University
Meru Tent Meeting Rescheduled 
Pastor Wachira Karani reported a powerful week at Moi University. Hundreds were saved and thousands were filled with the Holy Spirit. Christian students were leading their fellow students to Jesus in such numbers that Pastor Wachira said, "Salvation was flowing like a river on the campus!"
 Newspapers reported the Christian Spiritual Emphasis Week at Moi was the most impacting event for Christianity in Kenya ever! |
|
After the week at Moi University Pastor Wachira received an invitation to represent Kenya at the African Summit. Twenty African Nations came together to brainstorm on ways to fulfill Jesus Christ's "Great Commission" to take the Gospel to every nation. In order to attend the African Summit the September Meru Tent Meeting was reschedule for a later date.
Pastor Wachira appreciates your continued prayers as he preaches throughout Kenya and around the world. |

PRAYER CHANGES THINGS ~ Praise Reports:

- Our JFM Treasure Sharon Bergen is recovering from her surgery so much so that she was able to attend the Women of Faith Conference in Portland, Oregon

THANK YOU FOR PRAYING WITH US ~ Needs:
- Safe travel to and from the Nanyuki Tent Meeting each day. Please pray for many hearts to be open to receive Freedom and Salvation as they hear the message of Jesus.
- Resources to complete the purchase of the sound system.
- The well that was drilled last February 2007 lacks the electrical
 power, pump and cisterns needed for pumping water. Kenya is currently in a time of drought and due to a lack of water, the cow being raised on the High School building site died a couple of weeks ago. We hope to get some temporary power and a pump in before the other animals are affected.
- Please pray for Cheryl's Mom's sight to be restored, circulation to return to her legs and a healthy immune system.
Thank you for praying for Jesus Frees Ministries - God Bless You |
