Today was our reunion day. It was great to hear all of the amazing stories from the other groups ... Keum came up to me smiling, saying "even the demons submit to us ..!" haha .. Pastor Mark shared amazing stories of transformation of the whole region beginning in the leaders meeting where he spoke, and others groups shared stories of a hearing from God class with some powerful testimonies, all which (to catch one strand of it), amounted to a three-pronged attack on suicide in this whole region! Now if we take the word coincidence etymologically to mean the coming together of two things, than this, being a coming together of three, was definitely NOT a coincidence ... because yesterday, when Pastor Mark stood up in the pastors meeting in Kisumu and proclaimed an end to suicide in this region, he had no idea that we were at that very moment routing suicide in the dirt roads on the outskirts of Homa Bay, nor did he know what happened with Sue and Jill in the hearing from God class in Migori:
A Muslim woman attended the service in which Sue led the hearing from God class. Unknown to anyone, she had decided to commit suicide that evening and poison her three children. Her visit to the church was meant to be a goodbye, so she could see everyone one last time. When she arrived Jill and Sue shared on God's love and prophesied over many. The woman did not tell anyone but totally changed her mind and felt touched profoundly by God by a word from Sue. Later that day she shared what God had done with her, and was led to accept Christ! The team was so touched ... God had worked through their faithful teaching and serving to save four lives!!!
