In rural Kenya we have seen a Prophecy really come to light. I (Phil) have personally never lived among people that fit the description of Amos 8:11-12 so well.
"Behold, the days are coming," declares the Lord God, "when I will send a famine on the land—not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord. They shall wander from sea to sea, and from north to east; they shall run to and fro, to seek the word of the Lord, but they shall not find it."
Leah and I have been to places that do not have the Word of God, but those places are not going from sea to sea... they were not stopping us on the side of the road begging for Bibles.
All over Kenya we have seen so many people so hungry for the Word of God, hungry for sound Scriptural teaching. Because many of the places we target are rural areas, the people face two problems: the price of Bibles is too high, and the availability of Bibles too scarce. If they see a visiting pastor, regardless of their race, the question always comes: "do you have any Bibles?"
We know that Kenya is but a microcosm of this global crisis. How we long to sends Bibles into all the nations that have yet to receive them! But God has given us both the opportunity and the responsibility to reach Kenya. We might not be able to reach all of Africa, but we will labor with all of God's glorious might that He powerfully work in us to reach all of Kenya!
There is always a need for Bibles! A good Bible in the trade language of the people of Kenya (Swahili) costs between $5-10. For those tribes that have a full Bible in their mother tongue, the Bibles usually cost about $10 a copy. Can you help provide the Word of God for the rural tribes of Kenya?
Here are a few pictures of the people we gave Bibles to in the Pokot area...
(These are elders and evangelists that Phil spent 2 days teaching and training)
(The following are women that Leah spent a day teaching)
