My Journal

Friday and Saturday was spent planning with the Pastors and Preachers for the next couple of days, weeks, and months. We also set up the schedule for LBBI-Turkana and reveiwed the submitted applications of those wanting to attend.<br /><br />Today (the 1st Sunday of 2009), 4 of the 5 churches in Turkana had baptismal services...4 of the 5!!! Napetet baptized 18! Kalokol had me baptize their 6! Nanyangakipi baptized 20! Nakechichok baptized 9! That is 53 baptisms on the first Sunday of this blessed year!! PRAISE BE TO GOD!!<br /><br />At Kalokol today, I taught and preached. The church has been through many trials (most due to their sinful lives)...but this morning the house was full. 3 were saved at the close of the service! And they joined the 3 others for baptism. <br /><br />We begin working tomorrow at Kalokol to install a cement floor. It will be a long week of labor...but a great time to build the faith and fellowship of this body of Christ.<br /><br />Next week, we begin classes again for LBBI-Turkana. Please pray for my strength and health. I have much work these first 3 months scheduled.<br /><br />Much love,<br />Ekiru
