Dear friends,

We have just returned from our trip to Kenya, where we were for the first time holding meetings in the capital city. It has been a great joy to minister again in Kenya and we can now see that our ministry has an impact that will be lasting. I think that this time we felt for the first time, that Follow Him Kenya has been established and we now have people in most major parts of the country.

We are praying that we can establish a ministry centre in the near future, where we can train church planters and also teach the leaders that have chosen to work with us. It is very interesting that we have a lot of senior leaders that are excited about the vision of Follow Him. This is very unusual and unique. In most countries we are working with young leaders and train them to start new churches in unreached areas. But in Kenya we have all kinds of bishops and people that have been in ministry for many decades and hold a lot of responsibility in their hands.

Africa is at the brink of a lot of change and we are very happy to be able to contribute to it and bring godly change. We believe that Kenya is a key nation for the continent and it will be crucial in the months to come that the Body of Christ there will rise up and not let the Moslems take over, be it in political or economic areas. Personally it is a miracle for me, that these mature leaders are even listening to us, since our ministry is not so old and we are not that established. But even on this last trip God has confirmed our calling for the nation and I would like to let our local leader, John Shiundus, share a bit from his side, what he has experienced last week:

The three days conference of bishops, pastors and other levels of leaders, begun at 9:30am on 21st nov. 2011 at methodist conference centre. This conference was one of the "spirit influenced" meeting, awesome times in the presence of the Lord. GOD HIMSELF was in the house and everybody was soaked in His presence.

Many times we do plan for the meetings with our own programm, but this time He took over and led us by His Spirit, such that most times Claude was led by the spirit of the LORD uniquely which resulted into heavy impartations and inner healings, prophecies, and proclaimation on peoples lives with amazing instant results.

A sister by the name of Ann Mamra received a prophetic word for her life and God said that she has lost a tool in her life but GOD is restoring back to her very soon. That happened in the morning session. Just a couple of hours later in the afternoon she received a call from her sister-inlaw saying, her husband who deserted her and married someone else eleven years ago called and said he want to come back to his matrimonial family. She was so excited that God just opened the door to her so instantly!

The Lord spoke to us through the messages and the annointing was very strong. The pastors were really convicted by the messages about a famine that is in the land and also that they need to now step out of the boat and walk on water again. Some deep conviction was there and times of repentance followed.

Arround fourty pastors assembled together. Some travelled from far in the country and even outside kenya, eg. uganda. The influence is getting bigger and bigger as we have a good group of leaders that desire to partner with Follow Him now and receive spiritual nourishment and counsel.

Let us pray for Claude and His family, together with the entire Follow Him Team. We have seen God make a heavy impact in our Nation and some of the top leaders have been touched and want to be part of it. Please pray that we can continue and that we will also have the funds to start a centre in order to train more people and help the Body of Christ in Kenya to rise up and take its place!

Amen.

John Shiundus, Follow Him Kenya
