Since returning from our recent research trip, Jerry has been busy with Nairobi area churches, casting God’s vision of filling the earth with the knowledge of the glory of God --- the glory of God in the face of Christ.
Understanding that God's command of reaching every people group with the gospel of Christ is given to each individual believer, no matter their circumstances, is not easy. Indeed not everyone is sent -- but all are called -- some are called to pray, others are called to give, and still others are called to go.
Looking at the harvest fields of East Africa in light of Matthew 9:37, we see the truth of Christ’s words, “the harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.” Verse 38, “Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest field.”
In reading and praying through these verses, God is showing us that we have workers right here in Nairobi who can partner with us and help with the harvest.

| Inspirational teaching, problem solving, and combining ideas on how best to reach the lost with the gospel was met with enthusiasm. |
God’s vision, for filling every people group with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord is being shared with some Nairobi Baptist church pastors.
 |
| God's gift of food and fellowship is a blessing and an important way of interacting with one another. |
Now a plan is in motion to train 12 national missionaries, two from each association, with the prospect of sending two out.
Helping the new national missionaries with logistical support from the national Baptist churches is a major concern and of great importance.
Pray for this new endeavor of casting God’s vision among Nairobi churches to reach the unreached and unengaged with the Gospel message.
Pray that each believer would see their responsibility and their calling in light of God’s vision of reaching and discipling this lost and dying world.
You are called. Where do you see God calling you – to pray – to give – to go, or perhaps all three?
