Leaps and Bounds in Kisumu (Mark)

Wow! It has been an amazing week so far with the 12 men chosen for the business discipleship group from Deliverance Church in Kisumu Kenya.

God has blessed the teaching of the Doing Business God’s Way course and I can see the men growing in leaps and bounds as the Word of God is piercing their hearts. These are not immature believers – in fact I would say their spiritual maturity and Bible knowledge is above most men’s groups in which I have participated in the US. In several areas, they have given me new Biblical insights for future teaching.

God is using me to push them to new levels, to search their hearts and to challenge them to be and seek the best God has for them.

I am thrilled that they LOVE the team building activities we are doing, which are modeling how to put what they are learning into practice. They also are relishing some pretty tough riddles I have given them to solve over lunch to sharpen their brains and problem solving skills. They have really solidified into a solid spiritual band of brothers.

We have not been without our challenges, specifically in the area of keeping time, which I have strongly impressed is a reflection of discipline, accountability and respect. They have gotten the point and are holding one another accountable to let their “yes be yes and no be no.”

Thank you for your prayers. I am a witness that they are being effective!
