Huge fruit from Kenya ministry
“Ministers told us of a strong dependency on witchcraft in the community that strongly affects the church. We have a powerful time of confession and repentance. Pray that people put God first and as their only God.”
From Revive East Africa, a SOMA initiative in Kenya, Henry Blair reported that: “Teaching is going well and people are open and responsive. Thank you for holding us in prayer, as we move from place to place, as a team so far this week we have taught 300 church leaders on the gifts and ministry of the Holy Spirit. We have seen a great enthusiasm to receive from God and many people healed and others set free. He also noted the desire to break free from the influence of witchcraft and how well the SOMA training was received by the province in bringing deliverance.
So well in fact that SOMA Kenya was born, out of this international mission, where a large majority of the SOMA mission team were themselves from East Africa, having been trained on recent SOMA missions.
After the initial conference and the commissioning of SOMA Kenya by Most Rev. Dr. Jackson Nasoore Ole Sapit the teams split up to serve archdeaconry by archdeaconry. Henry reported that from the first day of teaching in his archdeaconry over 60 people lined up down the aisle and out the door to pray for each other for healing. He was in constant touch with our SOMA Community of prayer via the new WhatsApp updating service and asked for prayer for strength to keep this up all week, weather is hot, and makes the teaching more exhausting, saying the team were really encouraged. Another teaching day had 92 church leaders present, ordained and lay arrived and they were very responsive and encouraged, with over 40 responding to healing.
Andrew Allan-Johns (International Chair of SOMA) writes: “It is really exciting seeing the provincial training mission strategy working in East Africa. I am also blown away at the way ministry can be multiplied simply by having an easily reproducible set of notes. Following on from the success in (re-starting) SOMA Kenya we could also pitch the formation of national or regional SOMAs in other regions and countries where the SOMA story is taking root.
