Hi friends,
Thought you might like to see and hear from our friends in Kenya today. They are always sending their greetings out to you and our church members.
The youngest girl they call "Christin", they say because "she looks so much like you!" Had to smile at that. :)
Their trip to Nairobi and meeting President Hicken was wonderful to them
Singing women and men.
You & I wouldn't recognize any of the songs they sing. They are unique because they are received from within their faith. When the people need direction from God, they fast, pray, and then receive the answer by the Spirit in the form of a holy song. The message is precisely recorded as received, in a journal (as above), shared and distributed to all of the members of the branches, to record in their own journals. They will then spend the following days and weeks in practicing and memorizing the song, to remember and follow the message forever and teach it to their children.
As a recent example of a teaching that they received, they've told me that a short time ago the Spirit directed them to begin to hold regular combined fasts as a congregation, as well as fasting at individual personal times (which is the only way they had previously been fasting). Now at all branches, they are beginning to put the regular combined fasts into practice. What faith.
Recently Kilonzi shared a special "message-song", when I told him that someone here had asked me if he and the others had given up, or over time had stopped communicating with me. Although I had been hearing from them, it was becoming less frequent, so I took the opportunity and asked Kilonzi if they felt at all discouraged through the months, about this whole spiritual project, and he said:
Enjoy your day!
