We've really been enjoying being able to give a bit more time to praying for the Pokot people over the last few days. When we were praying the other night we felt that God was speaking Zephaniah 3:14-20 over the Pokot people, especially the women. Please join us on praying that God will release them into the freedom he has for them at this time.
In other news, Connie preached a great sermon on freedom from strongholds at the conference of a local church here today and will also be preaching tomorrow and on Friday. Half of the team went to support her, while the other half visited the families of children whose education is supported through YWAM. They heard many sad stories but enjoyed being able to share with the families and were touched by the warm welcome they received.
With only two full days left before we leave for Pokot, we're excited, but there's many practical things that still need to be arranged. The weight of most of this falls on Joram, one of the staff here, so please remember him in your prayers. He has three boys under five, so you can imagine life is very busy.
One major prayer request for the Pokot people is for rain. Apparently it is very dry there, and people are starving for lack of food. Partly because of this we're expecting lots of adults, mothers in particular, to be joining us for the camp. Praise God who is able to meet all our needs!
We're also really excited that we're going to be able to partner with a pastor who wants to plant a church in the Pokot in our third week there. It's so good to know that we'll be able to leave those who respond to the gospel with someone who can continue to disciple them when we're gone.
