Faith That Can Move Mountains

"Have faith in God," Jesus answered. "I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain. Go, throw yourself into the sea,and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen. It will be done for him. Therefore I tell you whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." Mark 11:22-24 During door to door evangalism in Karati with the Kikuyu tribe, we met this old man. He said that his legs hurt, so we asked if we could place hands on him and pray for him. We prayed having complete faith that God could move...

A girl on my tema opened up to us about her past struggles with depression. She told us how lonley she was and how she couldn't open up to family and friends. I believe God spoke to me through her. Someone very close to me is and has been struggling with depression. I realized that I put up a wall when she trys to talk to me about it. I struggle with patience and understanding with her. I felt convicted and guilty but the more I prayed and listened about it I realized that guilt was from the enemy. God reminded me that rather than dwell on wishing I could change the past I can change...

Hello 🙂 We spent our last two weeks in the incredibly green and lush city of Karati with the Kikuyu tribe. It rained (POURED) each day we were there. These two weeks were totally different than the ones we spent with the Masaii in Tangitatu, but they were wonderful. We spent each day going door to door in the village to encourage believers, share the gospel with non believers,and to pray for the sick. I saw many come to Christ and realize the hope, joy, life, and restoration that come from a relationship with Him. I also had an amazing opportunity to work with a...

My team has been having incredible experiences in ministry thus far, but I seemed to be missing out on all of them. Reading my Bible one morning, I came across Matthew 17:14-22, which tells of Jesus healing a demon possessed boy because the disciples could not drive it out. When the disciples asked why they could not heal the boy, Jesus replied, “'Because you have so little faith.'” This story made me realize that I hadn't been in the groups when the life-changing events happened because I had so little faith in God's miracles on earth today. So, why would God...

This is what I get for thinking

"Everything happens for a reason" is a saying I've heard but never really felt, or even thought much about. Until now. We've spent the past two weeks in Karati with the Kikuyu tribe. The first week was rough and I was questioning what we were doing and if we were really making a difference. I kept letting little things get to me and was stuck in the repetitiveness of the door to door ministry we were doing. Everything started looking worse when I learned that our teammate Ryan was going home. Thats when I started thinking about everything happening for a reason, though. I...

1 month ago I stepped off the airplane into the unknown of this 3 month journey in Kenya. I had a vague idea of the ministry we would be doing, but had no idea that we would be visiting 3 different tribes in a course of 6 weeks. Over the past few days I've definitely learned not to make any plans. They say to expect the unexpected, but I say don't expect anything at all. And if you don't expect anything, you'll always be pleasantly surprised. The Lord has filled me with an unexplainable joy and I've yet to be let down. It's true that sometimes we have no idea where...
