Kenya: A church planted in Mikinduri

This is a testimony by REVEREND PETER MURUNGI IMURU OF WORLD ABUNDANT CHURCH, IGEMBE NORTH. He says that their distribution day was great in church and in town. They distributed the gifts to over 300 children who were brought by their parents. He noted that their Sunday school before distribution of gift boxes had 87 children but after distribution, its has grown to 120 children. Their church membership has also grown from 100 members to 187 members.

They also planted a church in a place known as Mikinduri and on that day children were invited and gift boxes distributed to them which in turn attracted 40 adults to be members of that church and 30 Sunday school children. He also noted that gift boxes are effective tools for evangelism to both children and parents.

Kenya impacted by shoeboxes

Elizabeth lives with her single mom in a remote village in Kenya. When her parents separated, she became sad and withdrawn. A friend invited her to a festive outreach event where she received a gift-filled shoebox. Elizabeth was overjoyed with the gifts and felt God's love. She then attended The Greatest Journey where she learned how Jesus gave His life for her. The Gospel message she heard was so powerful that Elizabeth gave her life to Christ and started regularly attending church. Soon, she invited her mom to come with her, and she also gave her life to the Lord! Now, mother and daughter are actively involved in their church and are no longer isolated from their community.

As I am progressing in my duolingo lessons, I have completed Section 1 and I am very pleased with how the lessons are progressing.

The most important phrase I will learn and use will be Yesu anakupenda meaning Jesus loves you.
