Day 3 Musakasa Seminar

Thursday, September 02, 2010, 8:00pm Bungoma  Time

I don’t even know where to start with this blog.  I guess before I get too far I need to tell you that last night after we left the Open-Air Crusade that over 20 people gave their hearts to Christ, add 20 more to the count!  Now  about today.   We had a day that will impact this church and this area for a long time to come in my opinion.  I had some fun and taught about Jewish customs in the first session and how they can help us unlock some of the scriptures.  I taught about the Mezuzah and where it came from, then I went on to the Priestly Blessing in Numbers and how we are the priests now and we should be blessing each other.  Pastor Ferdinand Muchanga stood up and said he has a degree in Theology and he never had a class on Jewish customs and how they help to open up some things in scripture but he will now start to study them.  I just enjoyed teaching this stuff and had so much fun and the Lord was working.  Then the second session I taught on the Lord’s Supper and traced it back to the Feast of Passover and showed them how Jesus was the Passover sacrifice for us.  Then we passed out the juice and the unleavened bread that I had brought and we had the first communion for the Church of All Nations in Musakasa AND all the visiting pastors that were present joined in and it was truly a picture of ONE body under Christ with a common purpose of winning the lost for Christ.  When it came time to actually start handing out the elements people started filing in the building and it was standing room only elbow to elbow and you could not have gotten another person in there if you had to.  I thought about them coming in late and asked Leonard about it and he said that they had been outside listening to the teachings.  I forgot that they had two huge speakers outside that were pumping the teachings and the music all over the village.  Leonard told me that they have had people as far away as 10-15 miles tell them that they can hear the music and the teachings when they are having church, WOW!  It’s a good thing I didn’t know that before I started teaching!  Then another lunch cooked by the women of the village!   Yesterday I mentioned that there were Pastors that had been coming the last two days, well today was no different as some were back and some more new ones showed up because they had heard about what was going on.  I could tell the Pastors in the crowd because when I started teaching on the Jewish customs and the Lord’s Supper they were all writing like crazy trying to take notes.  I was visiting with Leonard on the way back tonight and he thinks that we have had over 35 Pastors show up throughout the week to attend the seminar.  They are coming from all over up to 40 minutes away.  We have one Pastor that has been here all three days and each day he has brought someone new with him.  We adjusted our schedule and used the third session today for a Pastor’s meeting.  I got to address them and encourage them to work together to take the land for Christ.  They all agreed that they were going to start a Pastor’s fellowship and that they would get together monthly and pray for each other and work together.  This will be huge if they survive!  I say that because I warned them that the enemy will not go down easy and he will fight them every step of the way but they can prevail if they trust Christ and submit to each other as servants of the Most High God!  We left while the Crusade for tonight was still going on but they had a great attendance again tonight and I look forward to hearing tomorrow about more souls saved tonight.  Tomorrow I head to the Arise & Shine Christian School where I will address the kids and the parents and then tomorrow afternoon I meet with the youth at Musakasa.  Please continue to pray for the journey, God is receiving all the glory and names are being added to the Book of Life because of the prayers of His people!  I love you guys!
