While He was still here on earth two thousand
years ago, Jesus used to visit villages and
big cities. That is why he was able to reach out to the Samaritan woman in a village at
one time and also Bartholomew in the city of Jericho at another time. Imani Radio has
since its inception presented programmes and outreach ministries that focus on touching
the un-reached and those in dire need. In the beginning of this month, we were blessed to
have guests from the Liberty Church in California led by Pastor Mark Beigle. On 2nd
September we visited Kapenguria prisons and we saw the Lord moving in a mighty way. After
ministering to the prisoners about the love of God, a time for the alter call came and
more than 20 prisoners gave their lives to Jesus and we give God the glory.
It was a great joy
to see God accepting His children through the prayer of repentance and reconciliation.
During our last visit in May to this same prison, we donated a Television set. The good
news is that the TV is now being used as a training aid to seventeen inmates who are
taking a course that will see them graduate and become better servants of God out side
there after their sentence.
After the visit to
the prisons in the morning, the team visited a small town called Chepareria in the
afternoon. This town is situated along the Kitale Lodwar main highway and is about 30
minutes drive from Makutano. We did a powerful rally in the Redeemed Gospel church where
more than 400 people from different churches gathered as the body of Christ to worship the
Lord. One of the Pastors that have been serving in that town for more than 30 years said
it was the first time that they had seen a Radio station visiting the town. By the way Kenya
has more than 100 FM stations!!! But out of
all these, it is only Imani Radio that has had a direct impact with the people of
Chepareria and other small towns.
The people of
Chepareria received the double potion of the gospel. After powerful sermons from Art Cobb
and Pastor Mark Beigle, Imani Radio presented gifts that included ties for pastors,
reading materials, children’s wear and solar powered radios among other goodies. It was a blessing ministering to the
people of Chepareria and witnessing what the Lord is doing in the lives of many through
the ministry of Imani Radio. The residents testified that since Imani Radio hit the
airwaves, it has been the most listened to radio in the area. We also bear witness to this
testimony because most of the business premises in this small town tune to 88.8 fm. It is
our prayer that we will continue impacting many through the gospel of Jesus Christ. |
